I Overthink...

overthinking-101

So... I like this guy. We are friends, and sometimes I think he likes me, but he’s somewhat shy and extremely difficult to read. Yesterday, I text him information on a friend hangout that’s coming up. He replied: “Alright, got it.” Idk.... I feel I’m overthinking, because it might be nothing, but what if he’s annoyed with me?

It’s fine. Men are often socialized to communicate like that. I’ve got a text string with my friend I’ve know for 30 years and the last 10 days there isn’t more than 2 word exchanges.

...and you definitely are not pregnant.

Your not secretly my wife are you

She is the same she worries about these exact social situations, are they mad at me, annoyed, etc (they aren't, they never are she is a sweetheart and very thoughtful)

As long as these thoughts aren't intrusive or crippling your ability to make decisions they are pretty normal.

I am married. The first suggestion my phone gives when responding to my wife is "K xXx"

Short responses, especially responding to the receipt of information, don't really mean anything in my experience - they're the equivalent of "10-4" or "Roger and out"

I wouldn't read to much into it.
I just went through my correspondence with my wife for the last month's and it is a mixture of "ok" , a thumbs up emoji or a 2 word response.
If he was annoyed he would not reply at all.

But take it with a grain of salt. Everybody has different preferences.
I just don't like to text very much so I am brief. I rather talk in person or over the phone.

My schedule is kind of variable at work, so i text my wife "omw" when i leave so she can figure out kids and dinner based on the timeline. If i type in o, it always suggests omw.
