‘Tis a tale as old as time. Boy meets Girl, Girl gives Boy her number, Boy and Girl talk, fall madly in love and then pop out a few babies before ending their marriage in a bitter divorce that gets so catty that they fight over who gets the family dog. Er, maybe I’m getting ahead of myself. Right now some poor dude named Steve got Jess’ number after meeting her at a bar the other night, and like any normal guy, dropped her a few texts the morning after…except he got the number wrong and ended up texting the admin of a gambling firm’s Twiter account.
Right, I’ve blocked out Steve’s number because I’m sound that way. Help me out Twitter, what do I reply? pic.twitter.com/dysztl8Utf

Here’s my reply folks. I’ve decided to be feminine and also use a little bit of text speak. Now we wait. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/AsuQqwGPEE — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014
This lad’s keen. Only waited 8 minutes before replying. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/m2hK1257l7

Alright, here’s my reply. Played it safe. Gave a double kiss though, stepping it up. We wait. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/YbSFWWWlow — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014
STEVE’S TYPING! #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/bQ3ECEXTxM

He’s gotten on board with the double kisses! It’s on, folks. What do I reply? #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/OFHkBndQCI — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014
Alright. Cheeky Paddy and Soccer Saturday reference. Wink face, but just one kiss. Mind games. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/YCAqCy4Yi9

I’m gonna need your help replying to this one folks. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/1q6Db8m3Q3 — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014
Alright. Intentional grammatical error and three kisses. And a suggestive invitation. Come on Steve! #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/cCPbvKSWgn

Very disappointing on the kisses front. Think I’ll have to be busy tomorrow so. Thoughts? #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/vkY6s24yN4 — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014
Repeat of the intentional grammar error. Stone Cold Steve Austin reference. Uncle Paddy again. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/VPaD99SyiX

I’m starting to quite like Steve. He seems like a decent fella. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/mC7LCeXyEL — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014
Pretty happy with this response. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/rE8yfW7weQ

So Steve keeps himself fit. Good to know. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/ZIMM4EwFYI — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014
Kept it simple on my reply. Gonna take this opportunity to get dinner. I’ll update when he replies! #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/IlZqj8DM1s

Steve refuelling after the gym. Good man. What do I say in reply folks? pic.twitter.com/m5DGMrDZw6 — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014
Intentional tipsy typo in my reply. Will he take the bait for a gym selfie? How vain is our Steve? #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/73JYbq8IpL

Here we go. Planning on denying any memory of what I/she said. The only way surely? #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/R76vhQtDrq — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014
My reply folks. A more subtle error in there. Creative use of emoticons too, I think. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/OPwwWiAklW

Steve’s keeping tight lipped! Cheeky chappy. Think I might need to reveal the truth, the guilt is mounting. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/TRcub4Eqhk — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014
Right, here’s my set up. My question will be an Office quote. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/LmeDXTbllB

No messin’ from Steve here. Quick response, two encouraging kisses. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/fosirhSiO7 — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014
Right, sent. If he gets the reference, I tell him the truth. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/sPfVv3D2C9

He’s done it! He got the reference! Time to tell Steve the truth. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/me8IrP3NZw — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014

The cat’s out of the bag. I really hope he takes this okay. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/vGDC7HHVqL — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014
He could have taken it worse, right? #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/cqB51xmvga

Hang on, Steve’s taken this pretty well! ALL HAIL STEVE! All round good guy. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/pR716VZSaT — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014

I sort of wish I WAS Jess so I could give Steve a right old smooch. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/VOedQ4vVd3 — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014
And sealed with a kiss. That’s it from me and Steve tonight. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/q2EWfnrTWi

Good thing he’s got a sense of humor.
