I don't really understand what these guys are after. I've received three texts from one today, and I was wondering if he's trying other girls too, or if I'm special.

16:32 Are u single x
16:57 Are u single love x
18:11 Do u want 500 to help u xxx

His number begins with 0779.

Ha, good point.

I got another one later: "Do u want 500"

Maybe it's a joke, and if I said yes I'd be offered five hundred pieces of used bubble gum?

 

I had the same almost two weeks ago from the same number - asking if I would be his lover, I replied of course that's what you get for my fee. He then said he was looking for marriage - I told him he was looking in the wrong place. Sent a rather nasty, insulting message back. He has been doing it to a lot of other girls too.

This is why I don't do texts, they're mostly fools and timewasters, and much more annoying dealing with them that way then realising on the phone.

Hermione, I'm in Brighton if it helps. There's no guarantee that he only targets girls in his area, though.

Timewasters know no geographical bounds. As somebody who has no intention of seeing anybody and would just rather waste our time, he can pluck numbers from anyone anywhere. That's why I like to keep these numbers in my phone under "wanker" or something as equally flattering. That way I don't waste my time answering the phone.
Text messages I don't respond to anyway, unless it's from a customer I've seen before. And as it says so directly underneath my number on my site, then I have no problem ignoring them, just as they ignore what I've written on my site.
