You've been home for awhile now and the months of summer that remain are full of promise and fun experiences, beach vacations and parties, laughter and tears... and texts from your ex. You know, the one you thought you got rid of for good who just so happens to contact you every time that you're home on break? Before you roll your eyes and leave his pathetic messages on 'read', you have to know what to look for.
Luckily, the girl who can spot a f*ckboy from a mile away is here to help you get through this summer without making any boy-related mistakes.
Here are 12 texts that boy will send you that you should totally leave on 'read.'
1. You up?
GiphyAdding a winking face makes this text worse than it already is. If he adds an emoji of any kind, especially the eggplant, you need to run.
5. Wanna chill?
GiphyThis, in a way, is better than number three because at least they're asking versus telling. It's still bad tho. Still not worth a reply. Next!
6. Since you're home, you should come over
GiphyThis one's funny, because sometimes they add "haha" at the end to make it seem "casual"...
8. I know you've thought about me
GiphyYeah, I've thought about how nice it has been to not have to see you for months.
9. You're the only girl I wanna be with
GiphyThis text is usually used to rope you into a summer-only "commitment" where you're the only one committed. Good try, boys. Good try.
11. You should come cuddle
GiphyIf they're brave, they'll start with this. Typically, though, this is said after you stupidly entertain them for awhile. Don't even bother.
12. I've changed
GiphyHave you changed? Or are you just that desperate to get laid?
Now that you know what you're looking for, you know what to avoid at all costs. Be safe out there, ladies. Fuckboys are everywhere this summer.
