    I could say this…

    “At work, a co worker’s phone rings. The ring sounds like an animal. I ask them what’s the ringtone, and they say it’s a turkey. They even imitate the gobble! It reminded me of you poking fun at my turkey gobbling noises. It made me laugh!”

    Is that too long? Is it too ridiculous? It’s a bold, interesting text. Idk, maybe I should play it more safe. Haha. Or maybe I should take a chance on this text. He always said he loved how silly we are together. So maybe this text would work…

    I think it’s too long. 254 characters. Hmmm, how can I make this shorter…

    EDIT: “Discovered my co worker’s cell has a turkey ringtone. He even imitated the sound! Reminded me of you poking fun at my Hokiebird gobbling noises. Made me laugh!”

    What about this? much shorter.

    Hahah that’s awesome.

    What about “a friend’s ringtone is a turkey. I couldn’t help myself and imitated the turkey sound. It was awesome and you definitely would have laughed!”

    Something like that?

    Haha, yea it’s a silly story.

    Alright, I’m going to give this a try tonight! If he doesn’t reply he has zero sense of humor anymore. Haha.

    What do you guys think about me sending a text first to peak his curiosity? Like saying, “You will never believe what just happened!” Or “You will never believe what I just saw!” And then making him wait for an hour and replying with my turkey story?

    I like the idea of making him wait for an hour and keep checking his phone/thinking about me but it could backfire. He might not respond to my first text and then I don’t get to tell my story…

    Yeah I don’t like that first text, it doesn’t really work I guess when you are uncertain where the other person stands. It’s def a pretty big gamble. If he does reply I feel like he won’t really be excited by it, more like “what?” And that would make you feel bad and might also take away from the storie. I wouldn’t do it haha it’s great if he is excited to talk to you but if he isn’t or if he is in a mood it’s a tough sell

    No…I chickened out. I keep second guessing myself. I just need to stop overanalyzing and do it already. I’m just afraid.

    I’ll send something soon and let you guys know.

    You guys. I feel like I’m unraveling a little bit.

    I can’t even figure out why. But I just feel defeated. And I don’t want to text him again until I feel better. I need like a pep talk or something. I felt like I got my confidence back after NC and now it’s rapidly fading again. I don’t know, maybe it’s the holidays coming up. I just feel like I’m losing him. Like he’s completely over me.

    Ugh. Sorry, that was so emo. Haha.

    I just don’t know what happened to me. I use to be so ballsy and now I’m a wimp.
