"Some college guy just tried picking me up. Haha. Still got it, I guess"
Ok, I was stuck. I literally was sitting there for 5 minutes staring at my phone, formulating a response. My first few choice responses would have been reactionary, passive/aggressive, sarcastic, snarky, etc. Not good.
Maybe I should just respond with something like "Haha" or "LOL". Keep it light-hearted.
Then I thought, what if I just don't respond? But then, in this case, even silence says something.
Then I texted back: "Yes. My wife is very beautiful."
Ugh! Mistake? I don't know. She hasn't responded back yet.
Tough one ... I received a text a few weeks ago from WAW who was having issues at work and said something along the lines, "Well if they fire me atleast I am wearing this cute little black dress" .... my wife is very attractive, I replied well later with something small like a LOL or a Yeah? type thing ... but did not take the bait.
Look at it this way, maybe she was fishing for a compliment from her H ... that's good, leave it at that and take the positive. if your first response would have been snarky, this is a 180 for you ... another good ... baby steps .. keep at it.
