'Accidental' texts/emails

Do you guys believe in accidental texts/emails?

Someone significant from my past ‘accidentally’ text me today, it seemd as if the text for someone else but i recieved it.

I dont believe people accidentallt text/email like that. Part of me thinks this is an accidentally on purpose situation?

It seemed like a reply to someone so that makes it even more unlikely that its an accident because you just hit reply instead of having to chose someone from the list?

The only person I ever text accidentally is my best friend who i text alot throughout the day so sometimes i accidentally select her name.

In the past i have ‘accidentally’ text people i like or people from my past just because i have nothing to say and hope for a reply.

Re: 'Accidental' texts/emails

If it has the original message attached to which the reply was sent then for sure it is not accidental. It was on purpose.

Re: 'Accidental' texts/emails

The way people tweet and text these days, its a likely possibility.

Re: 'Accidental' texts/emails

Its possible and should not be out of question.

More than anything else, it seems like you "want" to believe that its not an accident :)

Re: 'Accidental' texts/emails

I have send text messages to wrong person quiet a few times, because I touch the wrong person and the text messages ended up going to my mom or friend instead of hubby few times :)

Re: 'Accidental' texts/emails

hmmm interesting so people do accidentally text people accidentally. See i never do it unless its to my best friend by accident as i text her alot during the day so its like muscle memory.

SO it could genuinely be an accidental text, interesting.

Now the question is whether to reply or not?

Re: 'Accidental' texts/emails

If answer to my question is yes then it was not accidental.

Re: 'Accidental' texts/emails

I have sent so many text messages or emails accidentally to the wrong person. It happens to me on MSN too, saying something to someone else intended for some other person. Now I don't know if it being your ex brings any significance to the matter or not. It could be.

Re: 'Accidental' texts/emails

Don't reply. If it was accidental then there could be no follow up text message or there could be, saying sorry I sent it accidentally, in that case you don't reply. If it was not accidental, then don't reply and let him suffer.

Re: 'Accidental' texts/emails

MIRCH-Well apart from on a Blackberry ive never seen a text message with an origional message attached. I added email to the title just so people can share email experiences.

Re: 'Accidental' texts/emails

the thing about this text is that it really pushes my buttons as its the kind of thing he would say to me...same phrases and jokes.

Re: 'Accidental' texts/emails

Its not a genuine question. See I told you, you WANT to think thats it was intentional :)

and answer to your question is NO. You should not reply.

Re: 'Accidental' texts/emails

Okay in that case there is a high possibility that it could be purposefully done. I will not lie here, I have done this once or twice before. Sent a person a text message and later saying it was accidental, just to see what kind of mood they are in. This does happen, so it could be possible.

Re: 'Accidental' texts/emails

DECENT-i guess i do because whats written in it is very sort of the kind of thing he would send to me...its pushed my buttons made me really curious.

It wasn't 'hey mate how are you'

It was a longish jokey message to someone that pretty much replicates the kind of jokey messages he used to send me.

Re: 'Accidental' texts/emails

^ just ignore.....

Re: 'Accidental' texts/emails

Yep I agree with the sad lady he wanted to test the waters.

Re: 'Accidental' texts/emails

Sad lady?! Are you referring to me by any chance?! I am not sad lol

Re: 'Accidental' texts/emails

I think because melancholy means sad he said that.

Not replying is really going to bug me. The curiosity is alive.

Re: 'Accidental' texts/emails

Haha yeah I know that, just teasing Mirchi bhai.

You can keep replying here to stop you from replying there. If you do reply, it would mean you are receptive to him staying in touch with you. Are you?

Re: 'Accidental' texts/emails

Since that person is being an smarty pants , you can be too. Reply in a condescending manner. Tit for tat .
