SMS flirting

In My Humble Opinion
1

Ok, this one girl keeps sending very nice sms messages to my cell phone… I think my responses are pretty good, but I want to take initiative too…
Thing is, I’m a writer… so I read everything I type 8 times, and then erase it because it’s not good enough. I’m used to doing that with the poems and lyrics I write… but right now I can’t seem to come up with something good. It might sound weird, but just call it writers block :slight_smile:
Any ideas? What has worked for you in the past? Could you skip trough your sms messages looking for messages you received that made you happy?

Thanks.

This is such an appropriate thread for me at the moment!

Last night, my boyfriend trawled through the UN website to find out approx. how many women there are in the world , so that he could send me a text telling me I was more wonderful than all (I can’t tell you the number - unfortunatley I cleared my messages last night!) of them! :smiley:

hey thanks, that’s a good idea…
I tried googling but only got lame results like “What is live ? Live is love. Whats love ? Love is kissing. Whats kissing ? Come here and I show you.” and “Hello, I’m a thief and I’m here to steal your heart!” - are they serious? people really send eachother that kind of crap? :slight_smile: (I do realize looking online for something to say is lame as well…)

Classically, Women and love for women are equatable with the good things in nature, life- the universe. Metaphors of love are reliable and boundless. Stock and cheezy, if the delivery is bad.
See if that path goes anywhere.

I MAY ONLY BE A COMPUTER SENDING MESSAGES BACK TO YOU AT £1.50 A GO, BUT DAMMIT, I’VE FALLEN FOR YOU.

That one made my toes curl.

Don’t be afraid to use the lingo “ou4art thou” etc :slight_smile: Express ideas simply. Think of short, one of puns…

Awww, that’s so sweet Jenny. (Myself, I’d just make up a number slightly over 3bil :))

Fncy A Fck?

Hey, he’s nothing if not thorough!

9

Erm, my last comment was not aimed at jjimm , silver-tongued devil that he is!

10

If I was being thorough I’d give the value as a function of time* so it doesn’t go out of date. Did I mention my girlfriends tend to be weird?

*It’d be exponential, so I’d only need a couple of data points

11

Which is, of course, exactly what he did :smiley:

12

at least thats what i’m guessing… :stuck_out_tongue:

13

Whsst! Shutup! Jenny, you didn’t see that. He said it, not me!

14

You’re such a cynic, Garius !
He’d better not have done…

There’s ways of telling - you could look for the same info, see if the number he came up with is one of the numbers people are more likely to make up, say “I looked and there are actually 3,107,825,101 women! Who did you leave out??”

16

Sorry Jenny - i just know thats what i’d do. :cool:

building on shade’s suggestion, send him back:

You bastard! I looked and there are actually 3,107,825,101 women! Who did you leave out?! It was that bitch Kiera Knightley wasn’t it! I hate you!

17

Right, ya’ buggers:

"I used this website: http://esa.un.org/unpp/ and then some rough
calculations to allow for births/deaths etc. I tried the 15-49 age bracket
but it didn’t sound as impressive.

Doubters."

I knew he wouldn’t lie to me :stuck_out_tongue:

18

ok, so which one of you posted a link to this on NADS?

Or did you all just text each other about it?
:stuck_out_tongue:

19

BTW, just in case it’s not clear, I made that number up. Also, I suspect the figures aren’t really accurate to 1000, though I don’t know what to read into that.

While we’re on the subject of being cynical, if I’d made a number up and was called on it, I’d find the first cite available and then invent a few ‘adjustments’ so it couldn’t be checked…

My theory is we’re drawn to flirt threads like [insert non-disturbing metaphor here]

And we’ve completely hi-jacked nakarama’s thread. Sorry.
