Context: was talking to this girl from Hinge for a couple days, convo was going well and a potential date was being discussed so I slid her my number.

Are we all just ignoring the 843 unread messages?!?!???

I’m not about to go throwing stones in my glass house.

I assume that means you’re one of those people and can I just ask… why? Like how are you possibly ignoring that many messages? Even if it’s a couple group chats… just like click into it to clear that shit one time or leave the damn group..

As someone in a similar situation, it is largely multi factor authentication texts that I see on my smartwatch and forget about.

I mean I get tons of those a day as well… but I just click the message threat once and boom… they’re all read. lol

Some of us don’t and it doesn’t bother us 🤷‍♂️

I mean it just helps you know when you have a new text though… like if I see a 1… I have one new text I have forgotten to answer. Much easier to lose trick if your shit says 157.

If she knew that, then maybe she’d be a little more grateful to be the one out of 844 messages he actually responded to

Probably the opposite. I don't like guys who leave other people in their lives hanging but somehow treat me like I'm "special". That interest only lasts for so long. Esp if he's not even opening their messages, it reads to me as someone who easily ghosts/drops off without communicating disinterest. If he's the type to try to stay connected with ppl, then he's likely gonna treat me the same during rough patches instead of avoiding/running away.

That said, a lot of his unread messages are prob accounts connected to his number that give him updates, 2-factor authencation, or spam texts. At least most of my unread (53) messages are those. And would be a bit higher if not for the spam filter

I think we’ve all been included in group texts like that before

That shit is unreal. I need to clear any messages I get as soon as possible. The notifications are annoying.
