Text Boy

I have an entire summer that needs posting, but before I do that I need your help. Read on!

I don't know about you guys, but often I find the boys I go out with naturally get nicknames. For example: Star Trek Boy, Zack Morris, Dr. Love - you get the idea. Well, this week's boy is "Text Boy." My wonderful aunt decided she needed me to meet her friend's nephew. "He'll be 23 in November" is a nice way of saying "he's only 22." (I'm more than a few years older than 22.) He wanted to know a bit about me, so my aunt had me email her a short paragraph. Already starting off awkward. His paragraph just happened to mention that he played on his high school football team all 3 years they took state. Whoa. NOW I'm impressed. Text Boy (TB) gets my number from aunt. Before he uses it he ads me on facebook. Now I'm even more impressed.

A couple of days later I get a text from an unknown number: "is this alicia"
My response: "Yes, should I know who this is?" (by the way, all spelling and grammar is real and has NOT been changed).
TB: "well no my aunt gave me your number and was wanting me to take you out. my name is andy"
Me: "Oh hi! Yes, she mentioned you might be calling."
TB: "hahah yeah hi i hope it didn't scare you to bad"
Me: "No, it takes more than a random text to scare me."
TB: "haha thats good. so i hear your a teacher thats got to be exciting"

At that point I decided this text conversation was way too awkward so I stopped responding. THREE days later (today) I get this:

TB: "hey its andy" (sent at 1:30 pm)
Before I can respond, he sends this beauty a few hours later:
TB: "hey so i dont want to sound wierd but i was just wanting to get to know ya some so if you want txt or whatever but yep"

Um, did this boy do anything besides play football in high school? Like learn how to form complete sentences?

Me (a few hours later): "Sorry - it's been a crazy day. I might be a bit old-fashioned, but I've never been one for long text conversations."
TB: "well i can call i just want for you to be okay with it and not like you know just doing it cuse someone said too. you know what i mean"

And now it's your turn to tell me how to respond. Thanks in advance for the help.

Another one bites the dust

I guess that depends on who catches the bouquet. . .
