The Mysterious Stranger: What to Do When a Random Guy Reaches Out

more or less 2 months ago 2 girls from my school asked me for my number for a friend of theirs. he only talked to me now (he sent me a message at freaking 6 and something am), and i have no idea what he wants with me. i only gave them my number because i kinda panicked at the time. answered his messages like 40 min after he sent them and he still hasn’t replied. it’s been hours. what do i do??

Answer

Oh honey, I can smell the desperation from here! Don't worry, I've got your back. First of all, kudos to you for not immediately responding to his 6 am message. You played it cool, and that's more than I can say for this guy.

Now, let's break it down. This dude got your number from your school friends, and he's only reaching out now, two months later. That's not exactly a flattering sign, if you ask me. And then, he sends you a message at the crack of dawn, expecting you to drop everything and respond? Please.

  • If you haven't already, take a deep breath and let it go. Don't waste your time wondering what he wants or why he's being so flaky.
  • If you're feeling sassy, you could respond with a casual 'Hey, what's up?' or something equally non-committal. But honestly, why bother?
  • Remember, you only gave out your number because you panicked. Don't feel obligated to entertain this guy just because you felt pressured in the moment.

So, what do you do? You do nothing. You go about your day, focus on your own awesomeness, and let this mystery guy fade into oblivion. Trust me, sweetie, you're better off without him.
