loverofloveandstuff Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 My ex boyfriend/best guy friend is overseas at the moment so I mailed him a christmas present. I texted him asking if he received the package. He didn't text back for awhile and later on texted saying 'you're the best! i love you.' (I checked my messages a couple of hours later so didn't respond). He then obviously freaked out and sent me a message saying 'thankyou!! I only opened it just a minute before sending the last message...' (I still hadn't checked my messages at this point). He then sent me a couple of other messages thanking me again and saying that he's excited to catch up when he gets back. I then ofcourse read the messages and replied wishing him a merry christmas and that i'd see him when he got back. I shouldn't read anything into this right? The 'I love you' part was just a friendly spirit of the moment kind of thing I gather? I feel bad for not checking my phone and replying straight away because I can imagine he would've probably been thinking "sh*t, I shouldn't have said that! Why isn't she texting back?":laugh:

january2010 Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 It can be quite difficult to judge someone's intentions and motivations from just words on a screen, even potentially loaded words like, "I love you." This makes it really easy to overthink text messages that are just polite acknowledgements and nothing more. I suggest accepting that he liked the present and think nothing more about it until you see him when he gets back.

And that's what I thought, I highly doubt it meant anything anyway, just checking.
Surrealist Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 He also made a reference to the present in the first text... it was meant for me. Okay then he probably just sent the second text to clear up any ambiguity in that he said 'you're the best, I love you' meaning 'you're a great person and really appreciate you taking the time and thought to send me the gift' type of thing, which wasnt clear in his first text so sent the 'thankyou' message.
