Way To Begin The Conversation
If you’re enthusiastic about speaking with someone, you don’t typically wait for the other person to text first, right? However, this particular guy is taking things to another level, attempting to steer the conversation in his favor.

Maybe his first text was “accidentally sent” to this girl, so this is why he states that he’s surprised to receive her text. The girl is more astute than him and saw through his unintentional initial message. She promptly moved on, saying “Thank you, next!”
