Why would he text me out of nowhere?

Asked by Blasiangirl500 (136points) October 14th, 2015

I was kind of with this guy in high school from freshmen through senior year. We separated and stop talking because I was the one who was going far away for college, while he stay in the bay area. Our plan was to be in the same city, but I wanted to go somewhere else. Its been three year and now I’m back in the bay area for college. I don’t know if he no I’m back, but it’s just weird how he texted me out of no where wanting to know how I have been. It’s also a weird timing because I just broke off my relationship a few months ago and he just suddenly pop up.

He just realized that he was missing you.

1) Oh my god. How did you get accepted into college with that grammar?

2) Is your Facebook page set to “Public”? How about your Twitter feed?

Life is full of coincidences. Do you want to re-connect with him? If so, text him back.

He was about to buy a new cell phone and he was cleaning out all of his contacts, and he came across your name.

Nothing special, pure coincidence.

Watch it. This is no coincidence as he has been stalking you the whole time! Just kidding!

If you are curious invite him out to coffee somewhere public. You should also consider you went in different directions because you wanted to go somewhere else and to college. That tells me you wanted to make something more of your life and do realize this guy is still where you left him. Reconnecting with him could be exciting but also get you stuck in his rut where he is still at while your heart is maybe longing for more for you to get out of your life elsewhere out in the real world.

Sentimental moments in your relationships are great to have but can also drag you down when you have goals in life you want to pursue for yourself.

I’m guessing that you have social media, like Facebook and Twitter, where you post life events? Might he have seen it there?

“Months later” being ‘weird timing’ is a bit of a stretch?

I don’t really use facebook or twitter. My life really private.

We wanted to go to the same college and be together, but he couldn’t afford it so he’s been going to college closer from home. I wanted to be near him, but wanted to experience more than just the bay area.

It’s a coincidence, and he texted you randomly. Maybe he found an old photo or keepsake or something.

When I text people from my past, the sentiment is usually, “huh. I wonder how that person is doing?”

Too late to edit, but-

The way you’ve written the question says more than him texting you. It seems like you’re looking for some meaningful interpretation of his text in light of past events. Like, the stars aligned for him to text you now that you’re single and in the same area.

If you’re still into him after all this time, you should totally get a coffee together. Maybe he’s single too, you never know.

Q: Why would he text me out of nowhere?

A: Beer.

You had the same friends for several years. Someone knew you were back and word filtered back to him. He thought he would try to reconnect.

@filmfann So true, if it were not for alcohol how would your friends know how much you loved them at 3:00 am.

What was your friend doing in Oklahoma? I would hazard a guess that he did not text you out of Nowhere but out of somewhere in the bay area.

He couldn’t forget your poetic way with words
