The art of fake accidental messages

Have you ever wanted to tell someone that you like them? But don’t you dare to do it directly? Have you ever wanted to leave something? But don’t you find the courage to speak up? Unintended messages may be the way forward!

I’ve been using this method recently. Of course, I don’t encourage you to lie on a regular basis. This is not a lie But it’s a more subtle ‘oops’ moment that doesn’t harm anyone.

Let me explain how this works. Let’s say you’re trying to get someone’s attention. For example, you’re interested in them. They are showing little interest. But the operation is quite slow. An accidental message in this case might be enough to make them wonder what you’re doing. aroused their interest to the point where they began to speed up a bit.

This was a situation where I found myself in my pajamas at home one night. “Very happy Kate! I’m really sorry you couldn’t come.” Of course, the message wasn’t Kate’s. I don’t even know Kate. I send it to the person you like and wait.

The idea is that the secret crush will think, “Oh, what are they doing right now? Where are they?” and the message returned full of interest and intrigue.

Do you know anything? It works!

The reason it works is because your crush has invested half of their money in the idea of ​​doing more, but not yet. The fact that I’ve been pretty blatantly reveals that I’m hanging out for fun. And because of this, perhaps when in the midst of other close people The person you like doesn’t like that. They want to turn my attention back to them.

It’s a rather stealthy method. to do things But it’s a method that usually works.

It doesn’t have to be about a secret crush situation. It could be any situation where you want to tell someone or you want them to do something. You’re pushing them to do it without you telling them directly. You can call it reverse psychology. But I’m not sure how complicated it really is!

In the old days, technology…

That we have these rather hand-picked ways to grab someone’s attention without actually speaking to them. Makes you wonder what people were doing before mobile and internet technology! Those poor souls had to go up to someone and talk to them one-on-one. How terrifying!

In those days, there was no subtle way to get someone’s attention and have them sit and text you all night. Because texting is not at your fingertips. The only way to show your crush that you really like them is to tell them. Or have someone tell them for you. Can you imagine the embarrassment if it went wrong?

The simpler era has its advantages as well. While sending an accidental message is a good strategy, But it’s a little hidden if we’re honest with ourselves. We are tricking the person we’re watching into thinking we’re doing something that might take our attention away from them. Doing so causes you to have a panic reaction that forces them to actually have a conversation with you. [Read: 30 wicked ways to make a guy jealous and win his attention]

Okay, you’ve got their attention. But wouldn’t it be better if they message you first because they want to? It wasn’t because you told them you were out living at the party… by chance, of course. Whether or not you’re actually at the party isn’t the point. I’m watching TV in my sexiest pajamas. holding half a chocolate bar in one hand and another cell phone

Recovering from an accidental message disaster

Of course, it could be that you just made a mistake and literally sent the wrong message to the wrong person. It depends on what you say in terms of how bad it is. I hope for your benefit It’s not a cutting word about the person you accidentally sent to that person.

It happens. It’s too easy to text anyone. Whenever we like this period Instead of picking up the phone and having a real voice conversation. We stream messages, which actually take three times as long to type as actually speaking!
