2:48. Wanna Chat?

Who is this? 2:48

You called me the other day too 2:48.

2:48. I'm a friend of Rex

2:48. He said I could hit u up

Well aren't you a smooth guy 2:48.

2:48. I take it my introduction didn't come across as a smooth talker as I'd wanted

Nope. LOL 2:49.

Maybe you should avoid words like "hit u up" if you want a date 2:49.

2:49. Noted

Don't feel like you struck out though haha 2:53.

We can still chat 2:53.

2:53. Phew! Thought I'd blown my chance

I also wanted to ask where Rex is 2:53.

I haven't heard from him in like a week. Don't they have cell phones in Cancun? Lol 2:53.

2:54. I didn't even know hes gone. I figured he was ignoring me

Not exactly the best matchmaker. Gives you my number and then flies off 2:54.

Oh well. Tell me about yourself 2:54.

2:54. Nothing much. Just a guy out here searching and killing for love

Any luck so far? 2:54.

2:54. You tell me 😉

Haha you're going to have to try harder 2:54.

2:54. Might as well. It's not like the world's waiting for me to paint the town red

You're funny in a sad way LOL 2:54.

It's a good quality. But how about a different kind of funny? 2:55.

2:55. You wanna hear a knock knock joke?

Hahaha now you're making progress 2:55.

How come ive never seen you before with Rex? 2:55.

2:55. The funny thing is

2:55. You have

Really? When was that? 2:55.

2:55. Think it over

Sorry I cant recall 2:55.

2:55. Probably because you only had eyes for Rex and not me

2:55. You two didn't realize you were being so obvious

What do you mean? 2:56.

There was nothing between me and him 2:56.

2:56. Really? Then how come you don't remember me?

2:56. Wasn't it because you and him were stuffed in that closet together?

2:56. Leaving separately, hoping people didn't see you?
