I Overthink...

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 :D

    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.
