A friend of a friend just texted me “by mistake” giving me personal info he later said was meant for someone else. I knew two hours before he texted me that he was going to do it.  He’s not hitting on me. If I ask him about it, he’ll say it was a mistake.  My thought is he wanted to toss a phrase/word/topic out and have me offer my thoughts, without taking responsibility for having “really” initiated the conversation. But INiTiATiON is a tricky thing and will not be bypassed. I know this. He knows this. Clever pretense simply reveals to me another side of him.  Note: You don’t need a pretense to contact me or tell me your thoughts. Just do it. It’s cool.
