I got a text message today from an unknown number. This is what it said: J
Apparently, I received this same text from the same person
on January 28th. I am avoiding asking “who is this” because I really do not care.
An emoticon does not start a conversation. If you are texting a relative stranger, say who you are and try a traditional conversation starter with a direct call to action.
Hi, its Ben from the bar last weekend. How is your week going? Do you want to grab a drink this weekend?
I am glad a stranger is having the kind of day that inspires sending J to strangers at 11:30 on a Wednesday. But… I am going to go ahead and ignore it.
