Most ridiculous text dilemma ever...

[VeryImportantQuestion]

Ok, so I need advice for something very silly - not sure how to play this one.

So, I slept with someone last night for the first time, have liked him a while but nothing can really happen because I'm about to go overseas for 3 months/when I come back we'll be opposite ends of the country.

Anyway, have texted a couple of times today, and he just sent a reply, which included 'missing you already'.

I'm rubbish at being demonstrative, but don't want to be overkeen. Text had no question, so don't have to reply.

So do I
a) not reply
b) reply with something chatty
c) also say i miss him

Bearing in mind that this is all very new so don't want to be too soppy, but also don't want to be too cold. But then I've always thought it's good to play it cool...

Tell me what to do. (And yes, I am aware I am acting like a 13 year old. Humour me please! )

I'd go with b), I think. Responsive, but not soppy.

Unless you want to be soppy?

'missing you too, hotstuff. Nice cock, btw'

How's that?

I'd go with "you too" if you don't want to get too involved.

ahh my first biscuit

was the biscuit for you, or me?

Just do what you want to do. It isn't like you are going to be living next door so if you make a fool of yourself you don't have oto see him every day. I can't be doing with this playing hard to get crap. If you are missing him, tell him.

No, he replied to you. Someone has to end the convo, that's a good place to stop.

(My dh is like this, can't stop text exchanges. He aants to know why I haven't replied to things - I tell him its because I haven't got all bloody day to be texting nonsense with him).

But then, if he's the kind of person who is a bit soppy and sends texts like 'Missing you already', he might be offended if you don't send a reply! I've come across this before. You could just send a smiley face or something. So he knows that you got the text, think it's sweet and aren't freaked out by it but that the conversation is now over since you didn't actually use words.

Haha I'm loving these answers - that's what I was thinking too starsareshining. I went for b in the end. Thanks for the advice!

And based on your name NomNom, I suppose the biscuit must be for you!

In that case, nom nom nom nom nom.

Perhaps you should have gone for a picture of your privates? I believe they are usually well-received.

Somwhere between shagging for the first time and getting it together properly, DP and I used to text each other rude limericks!!!

Worked a treat, I can tell you that much!!! Here's one to get you started:

When Milton inspected his willie,
He said "This thing's so short it's just silly.
It's becoming so small
I can't find it at all
And I soon won't be Milt, I'll be Millie."

Hmm, you go sending that to a new lover and he is almost certainly going to think it's a comment!

I'd just text a smiley back.
Fond, but non-committal.

See?
