I received my first one Sunday while I was on my bike. It was some spam-forward pass -it-on type of generic message. I didn't respond. But then yesterday at work I got some more and I felt I had to respond. I figured I was probably erroneously entered into this person's contact list and since I have cell phone service designed for teenagers, I get nickled and dimed when I text back & forth. I only carry cell phone for emergency situations, like when I see naked people on the bike path.
The word-for-word transcript of our conversation lies below:
Tuesday Afternoon
Unknown Person: Did you go home yet? ii love Matt :)
Mike: I'm sorry Matt, you must have the wrong number and I don't think you love me.
Unknown Person: No...i said did you go home? that is my signature. ii love Matt :)
Mike: Ok, I give up. Who is this?
Unknown Person: Molly. ii love Matt :)
Mike: Molly, you don't know me. You have the wrong number. Sorry.
Tuesday Evening
Molly: FWD: It is the 6 year anniversary so send to all the people u love and don't wanna lose...I love u
Mike: I love you too Molly, thanks for the text message. I don't love Matt tho.
*FYI: the best way to make someone go away is to tell them you love them prematurely*
Molly: Who is this? ii love Matt :)
Mike: It's the wrong phone number guy.
Molly: Oh. So where do you live? ii love Matt :)
Mike: I'm confused. You say repeatedly that you have strong feelings for Matt, but you seem so interested in me?
Molly: Like in Huber Heights? ii love Matt :)
Mike: My Mama told me to not tell strangers stuff like that.
Molly: Oh. Okay Watever. You probably do since we have the same area code. ii love Matt :)
Mike: Actually Molly, the 937 area code encompasses a very large range spanning from almost Lima up north to Springboro south. I could live anywhere in this large area.
Molly hasn't texted me since that. I think I scared her off when I used the word "encompasses". I'll keep you posted.
