Strange Text Off Girl I'm Seeing

    This is a very trivial one, but I just want outsiders opinions. Seeing a girl for a few weeks all good.

    She's out tonight and started texting how it would be a bad night saying someone she doesn't like is out, an ex off hers who cheated on her. Said how it was awkward as he and the new girl were sitting near them and making chit chat. Then text me saying how it was good now that he and your one left the pub. So we were texting away and just got a text off her saying "i want hme" This was like ten seconds after she had sent me a previous text going "lol" so I assume it was for me, there was only 15 seconds between both being sent.

    I asked her was she on about home and she replied saying she had no idea what she was trying to say there, that it stood for home but she doesn't know why she said it cause she doesn't wanna go home. But all I can think is hme stood for "him" Given the circumstance I'm just a little paranoid. She and the ex are broken up with years, but I don't know.

    I wondered did she mean the text for one of her friends or something, as in she still wants him or maybe some other guy? I mean I'm not great at textspeak has anyone ever heard of hme standing for anything bar home? I suppose if she meant him she would have made a better attempt of covering it up? Rather than just saying she hadn't a clue what she was writhing? Would anyone else even think about it?

    I'm not freaking out or anything it's just bugging me, seeing as I only know her a month or so.

    predictive text

    home = good, gone, good, hood, good hoodie immediately etc and probably a hundred other words

    Him = Gin, Himself, hint, ghost etc

    but in all fairness the girl was drunk and out with her friends, she should not have been texting you in the first place and you shouldnt be taking any notice of drunk texts

    God, texting is a pain in the bum. Call her up and ask her out, don't rely on texts for any form of meaningful communication.

    Also, I find people who drone on about their exes are usually dramatic, headwrecking people.

    She was out with her friends drinking, with the distraction of an ex + new gf across the room from her. And she was texting you.

    If she had an interest in him she wouldn't have been taking the time to chat with you, I wouldn't worry about the text.

    It was hme. Maybe she wanted God?

    I don't think predictive text was on. Many phones capitalise the I/first letter automatically when predictive text is on.

    But I wouldn't worry about it. Rightly she was probably feeling awkward around him.

    It's also possible she meant to text "I want him" and was referring to you and was morto when you asked as obviously didn't mean to send it to you. You sound very paranoid OP, just chill out and see what happens, this girl sounds interested to me.

    OP here, thanks for the replies. It's a touch screen so there was no predictive text, but I get the point. When she text saying how it was awkward, I said she shouldn't have to feel awkward, seeing as she did nothing wrong. An hour later I got a reply saying they were gone. I asked her was she ok and she said perfect now they were gone. That they had been "chattyn away"I suppose she'd hardly have mentioned him and not liking him in the first place if she wanted him. Plus he and the new GF have been together for a couple of years so I'd say it was more the fact having to run into him. I mean she did say come out and say straight someone she didn't like (him she said) was out.

    I just wanted to know whether anyone else would read into that random text which was a good hour after they had left. I'm actually just hoping I'm reading too much into it.

    I've been in similar situations and I'm come up with all sorts of dramatic, elaborate theories of impending betrayal. All wrong, of course.

    I'd be about 99.9% sure that you're reading too much into things. She said it was going to be a crap night, and then she decided to go home early. Sounds sensible enough. It's early days, so it's forgivable that you'd be unsure of things, but as things go on you need to trust her.

    My phone is a touch screen and I have predictive text.

    I think you're reading too much into it. If she didnt know what she was trying to say when you asked her then chances are she was drunk. She might have meant to say "I want to go home" or she could have been replying to someone else about something else entirely and meant "I went home".

    Ask her if its going to wreck your head.
