What did he mean?

LegacyUser

Quick Qs. for boardsies - I tested my ex boyd to-day a joke that wasn't in anyway sexual, double meaning etc etc.

Anyways he texted back to say he was asleep (he works nights) & he'd text me later. 5 min later he texted again saying 'I can't sleep now the blanket is after risen when I got text'

Is this he way of telling me he got a hard on or do I have an over active imagination....... or maybe he spelling is abit off & he meant to say summit else. My over active imagination is fuelled by me stilling holding a torch for him fyi

Either what you said was inadvertantly sexual or he still finds you hot and you gave him hard on, either way he was saying he got hard.

If you tell us what you said then maybe we can see how your ex may have taken it. If we cant see how he could of, then i guess its cause of you my dear he got hard

I agree, I'd say you were the cause of said hard on!

OP here.

Hmm, I knew it. I sent him the Fianna Fail Obituary joke so nothing sexual in that!

I can't understand why he's saying that, because 2 years ago he ended it with me as he didn't see it going anywhere. Unless he's just taking the piss but as my sister says don't be so cynical! I'll have to ask him what did he mean by that text, well I know what he meant but what did he really mean....

if you have no interest in the ex, stop thinking about what he said. whats the point. let him look stupid with that text and dont mention it to him and let him be

boys, !

What he was hinting at was that he fancied a shag.... Sorry to be so blunt. Men generally say what they mean.

Him saying this does not mean he wants back with you! So if you hold a torch for him do not entertain this tone of text message! If he was interested romantically, he would not say things like this... Trust me, i have had plenty of messages like this from ex's and they only ever mean one thing!

OP again,

Ya I do believe he just wants a shag. He probably think I'm pining for him day & night like Ms Haversham LOL

If you're still texting him jokes after being dumped 2 years ago, it's more than a torch you're carrying for this fella. He knows that and he's hoping that you might shag him but he's not looking for a reconciliation - he's looking for a bunk-up.

Delete his number and don't send him any more jokey "I'm not really keeping in touch with you cos I love you, I'm your mate really, no really" texts - he's not interested. Full stop.

No, I don't text him. When he dumped me I didn't text him for months, I actually told him there is no point in keeping in touch because we don't live near each other but he's the kind of fella that doesn't like rowing & not talking to people, so he texts me maybe once every 2 months, small talk so I think he's ' I'm not really keeping in touch with you cos I love you, I'm your mate really, no really' texts! Re the bunk up, he can stay in that bunk he was kipping in to-day, with the levitating blankets, on his own.......

Salome

Good on ya - leave him to his levitating blankie lol!!

I'll say this much, over-analysis is bad for you. Texts are worse because there's so many ways you can read it, and the texter isn't there to clarify.

-Come on, line in the sand time. If yeh still gots the hots for him, act on it. If not, treat those hots as crazy-talk, and don't entertain them in your mind. -

Like Will Smith said, -get on with your life-, forget the Roswell crap. If he's got a bed-tent, then he can take care of it with P and the 5 sisters....

(mods, delete the last line if that's unhelpful. the real points are between the "--"s)

Edit: read the post. good for you. Pam and the 5 sisters will sort him out.
