A guy on Wizz texted me, "Ellie, can I see you more? I can barely see you." When I replied, "Why?" he said, "Just to see you." I asked him, "Oh, why?" He said, "Because I didn't think he was serious," and I replied, "Why?" He said, "I am." I then asked, "Okay, how do you want to see me exactly?" He said, "That sounds wrong." I asked, "What do you mean?" He said, "You're making it seem like I wanna see your🐱." Then he said, "You're fine," and days later, I texted him asking for his height. He said, "6 feet," and I unsent a message saying, "Lucky." He asked what I unsent, and I replied, "It must be nice being 5'5" (very short)." He replied, "Lol." I asked, "What's funny?" He said, "You." He asked if I have any social media, and I said no. He then asked for my phone number, and after texting me, "Hey shorty," I replied, "Hey." He texted, "Hey shorty," and I said, "Hey." He asked, "What are you doing right now?" I said, "At work." He said, "Let me know when you're off." I said, "Okay, I will," and then added, "I'm on break right now." He said, "Ohhh Ellie, where are those pics?" I replied, "I barely take pics; I be at work a lot. I got 2 jobs." He said, "Well, take some pics." I asked, "Are you serious about pics?" He said, "Yes." I asked, "Why???" He said, "Because I wanna see." I asked, "Is there a problem?" He replied, "Nah." I then asked if I could FaceTime him, and he said, "It's gonna be loud." I asked how, and he said, "Your job." I said, "Nope, it's quiet. It's very quiet right now." I asked, "Are you sure you don't wanna FaceTime?" He said, "I'm sure." I said, "Wow," and he replied, "Hm." I asked, "What does that mean?" He said, "Nothing." I asked, "How's work?" He said, "It's okay." I replied, "It's getting so busy at work; it's annoying." He said, "Rip and good luck." I said, "Okay, thanks." He said, "I'm gonna go beat my meat." I asked, "Are you trolling or serious?" He replied, "Who knows?" I said, "Oh wow." He asked, "What?" I said, "Nothing." He said, "Nah Ellie, tell me." I said, "Tell you what?" He said, "You said nothing, so tell me." I asked, "Why do you wanna know?" He said, "Is the real question." I replied, "Yes, because you said it all of a sudden, and why did you tell me that?" I asked what he was doing now. He texted me hours later, "I'm home now." I said, "Okay, I was serious." He replied, "Wow, I thought you were joking." He said, "At first, I was, but I actually had to." I asked, "Why?" He said, "Just had to." I replied, "Oka
