I've been talking to this girl who I met at a coffee shop. At first, she said she wasn't looking for a relationship, but she was pretty receptive to talking to me. We texted each other back and forth for a bit for a couple days, and her tone changed to more fun and maybe even flirty.
Now we get to the FU: I start with a joke referencing earlier about how she took forever to reply and use that to message her, saying I'll be back from the gym to reply late to her too. She replies positively to the joke, and says she'd "wait for me even if it takes many hours". I'm thinking there's a tone shift there, and I honestly thought that was cute. My first message back was "Finished the gym :D told you I'd be back. You still waiting on me or what?" But I didn't feel satisfied with that message, so I went to edit it to "Just got back :D followed through lol. Ngl you saying you'd wait for me was kinda cute." Then, edited it two more times, putting in emphasis on how long she was willing to wait for me.
Anyways, after making these edits, I looked around online for how text edits from Android to Iphone work, and apparently they'll show up as additions to the previous edit, not as an override to the previous message. So, in other words, from her end it's likely she sees all the edits I've made. And she hasn't responded yet. All that build up to a nice text conversation now probably became cringey/embarrassing and maybe creepy. So yeah I don't know what to do lol. It's not like there was a likely chance things could've turned romantic, but now not sure if there's a way to salvage this.
TL;DR: edited texts to a girl with an iphone from an android with changes to indicate how I thought she was cute, not realizing each edit was probably showing up as a new message on her phone.
Edit: She said "I didn't expect to get the same message three times lol", so confirms she got the edits. But turns out it wasn't a big deal, I just said "Lmaoo not me exposing all my drafts *crying emoji* I was editing it and didn't know you'd get every version lol. The sentiments the same tho, your message was kinda cute tbh". Then we kept texting each other back and forth, with me making jokes and her saying how funny I am and making her smile. So all's well now lol
