7 Texts You Receive And What They Actually Mean

You might not know it, but even the simplest of texts can have underlying meanings. There is a whole backstory to every text you receive. Allow us to de-code some of the texts you receive every day from friends, frenemies and love interests.

1. “Sorry I didn’t reply hbb, I was asleep.”

It is very unlikely that this person was in fact, asleep.
Instead, it means something along the lines of: “I couldn’t be bothered to reply, but I think you just saw me online and now I’m panicking.”

2. “I can’t talk right now – I’m in a meeting. WhatsApp me.”

This comes after your call goes unanswered and means that the person is 1) NOT in a meeting and 2) prefers texts to be able to gather their thoughts and reply later.

3. “What you up to?”

In short, this person is bored AF and has nothing to do.

4. “OMG I loved the dress you were wearing at Mariam’s birthday yesterday!
[inserts heart eye emoji]”

This is just an easier way of saying “I really like that dress but I’m too proud to ask you where you got it from. Hopefully, you’ll tell me anyway.”

5. “I’m on my way home, do you need anything?”

“Please say no, please say no, please say no.”

6. “Cuuuute!”

This tends to mean “Not my type in the slightest, but hey – you do you, boo,” after you send a pic of a guy you’re currently interested in to your besties.

7. “I’M SO HUNGRY”

It actually means “Can you come with me to go and get something to eat please thanks okay see you in 5 minutes bye”.
