12 Vague Texts Girls Send To Get The Answers They Really Want

The worst part about text messaging also happens to be the best: We're able to manipulate our words to indirectly ask for what we want. Confrontation, saying what you mean, all of these things can be avoided when you're talking through a screen.

What we ask through text message is rarely indicative of what we truly want to know. We're able to use the elements of time and editing to craft the perfect not-really-asking-but-asking question or comment.

Here are the 12 indirect phrases girls text and what they really mean. But, you know, this is all just a suggestion.

What happens next: Both parties wait four hours until after they are wasted and replay this game again. This time it's called, "Booty Call."
