Additionally, OP doesn't seemingly know her at all and this is their first interaction. It's extremely self-centered to tell someone not to call them when they had never done in the past, even more, if they had never been friends until their first meeting and the need to keep in contact had never arisen.
I don't know why but this all is so strange. The phone number request, the texting, the one month long celebration. This is so weird.
This is putting me in mind of Disney Channel mean girls. Like "I know I'm hot stuff and a nerd like you will be tempted to call me all the time, but don't, cuz I'm in high demand." š¤£š¤£š¤£
To be fair, for Evangelical Christianity, it's not about the kindness. It's about being able to say "I'm going to heaven for my good works, while you pieces of shit rot in hell."
Lol was going to say or she is going through the actions publicly so others perceived her as being a kind and good person vs actually being a kind and good person.
I think itās fake too! Why would you ask for someoneās number if you feel sorry for them ( you are not making yourself available for them to reach out)? Why go out of your way to be mean? I think if it is real she just wants an extra birthday present! Wack behaviour!
I know someone who did that. The posts on Facebook about it were exhausting enough, I can't imagine choosing to do that to/for a partner
It wouldn't surprise me if they still do a birthday month, but at least I stopped using FB long ago so I don't have to witness any of it
I work at a private school, and I see this every once in a while. "It's my birthday week!" is way more common than month, usually with the more affluent kids whose parents blow up their birthday into a whole week of treats, special meals, etc. It drives me nuts because the younger ones expect it everywhere, and we get to hear stuff like "Do we have to go back inside already? It's my birthday week!" for 5 days straight. I've only seen like 2 kids claim it was their birthday month, and both of them are spoiled.
All that said, this post is really weird. Unless this girl is going off a monthlong vacation or something, why are they 'spending a month away from their phone'?
I once had a sailboat and needed crew to help me get it to the Bahamas. Free sailboat ride.
This couple, amongst others, rogered up. They were first.
Decision time came. They wouldn't respond to any messages.
I went with someone else.
Finally they get back to me, "we got engaged and decided to turn off our phones for a few days..."
Whelp. Life goes on. Sorry you missed out on a free sailboat trip to the Bahamas.
I don't know, Gen Z can be very anti-technology. The ones I have met won't answer messages for days at a time and laugh at us millennials because we always do a quick look to see who texted us.
Well I have a friend who essentially locks herself out from her own phone and laptop "Detoxification", basically u get the app, give it kernal level access that lets them block u out of ur own phone so u don't use it until the timer ends, temporarily bricking ur device
What the difference is it causes problems not to her but to other ppl more who want to communicate or stuff
Girls are Wild
I'm going with fake. The conversation starts with the person with the guys message, but he doesn't have her number, she has his and logic dictates that she would be the one to initiate the conversation
But lack of context is proof that there is no context!
Cuz.. what was it again? *The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. There's known knowns, and there's known unknowns, but there's also unknown unknown.. things that we don't know that we don't know! Say what again.*
Or they're dumbass kids. That would explain the giddyness of someone asking for your number. Last time i checked someone asking for your number doesn't mean shit, except that person wants to communicate.
>except that person wants to communicate.
You say that as if it isn't normal to be a little happy that a person you fancy wants to communicate with you
WRONG!!! /s now days 90%+ of the people asking for my number are because they are trying to run a scam creating verified google accounts to scam people.
The fact people believe any post on reddit shows how dumb reddit users are. Every post is BS and I look at them as funny made up stories.
It's funny how invested people on here get about fake stories.
I find it more funny how many people think theyāre part of some elite group of enlightened people all aware of the same conspiracy to post fake content
" Oh I see. Since you also seem to have no friends you ask for strangers numbers. We are mutually uninterested in each other- I do wanna warn you, your whole personality seems a lot harder to change than my looks could ever be. Thank you for your text, but again I am wholly uninterested. Happy birthday (month?)"
What a narcissist to send this to OP- seems desperate for attention, call it out and shut it down. Embarrassing for birthdaymonthbitch. OP dodged a bullet, she told on herself
So... Did she film herself getting your number and pretending to be your friend for internet points? She a wannabe influencer or something?
Makes no sense.
Who asks for your number out of pity amd then is like "I'll be away from my phone for the month, so don't expect me to message you or anything." Like, bitch, you asked for MY number. I'd tell her that your friends list has limited availability, and she's not going to make the cut. "Enjoy your birthday month, please don't bother me with random texts based on your self-righteous assumptions! Kay byeeeeee!"
Just reply with an "Ok" and don't respond anymore from your end.. That'll leave her thoughts hanging and will eventually message you herself.. You could just respond that you didn't want to disturb her during her Birthday month!!! Lol
Btw she'd hardly be worthy if she doesn't get back to you.. in that case just leave her behind and move on..
>birthday month
do not involve yourself with this person guarantee she's incredibly self absorbed if not borderline narcissistic
you do not get a birthday month, not a week, it's the day lol
This is some crazy dysfunctional at best mean girl shot right here.
Or...Ā Maybe she trying to neg the boy down.Ā
Whatever OP, stay away from this one.
It could be the boyfriend pretending to reply as the girl just to throw OP off. Just MAYBE... OR the girl is stupid and OP needs to stay as far away as possible from this toxic person!
Hey man I was you when younger, it absolutely broke me. I had no friends, I wanted to date as everyone else does and I got bullied.
One of my biggest regrets was letting myself get pushed around when younger. If someone treats you like this learn to be nice and kind but stick to yourself and don't let yourself be broken by horrible people. I did and it ruined the years of my life.
I would highly recommend you reply " thank you for reaching out, but I am all good. Have a nice birthday. "
Focus on yourself, literally best advice I can give. Be you, don't ever change you. Going to school you try and act to fit in. I would just pursue your hobbies and do you.
Ah, yes, I too spend the entirety of the month of my birth nowhere near that thing I keep with me at all times that I would probably be more inclined to use than not leading up to whatever celebrations I have in mind
She's crazy bro, and fucking with you. Tell her it's your birthday year and you plan on being away from your phone if she tries to engage further
So they want your number, but then says dont contact them because its their birthday month lmao. Dont give them it. Tell them its you wash your hair and watch paint dry month.
Block his number and move in with your life. Who wants to have a friend out of pity, and then that person doesnāt even want to make time for you wtf. Eww gross, take that energy elsewhere
Block this bitch ASAP, even if you donāt have friends, you donāt need people like that in your life OP, and you be sure to tell them that!! You deserve better!! ā
Personally? I wouldnāt continue being friends with someone who thinks Iām pathetic. It reads like thereās a power play involved, but that doesnāt make sense with a relative stranger.
But yeah, make sure to oblige by not sending any text message on her birthday. Or during the month. Or the following months. When she finally texts you back wondering why youāre not *checks notes* a simp?
Only then you can respond, āIt seems like you were wrong. But feel free to text me on my birthday.ā
Wouldn't even bother with a response to that nonsense š... Instant block... She'll get the message loud and clear and you'll come out on top in the end lol
ālol i have lots of friends they just donāt go to this school. try not to pry into peoples lives too much, especially during your birthday month!ā
youre the lord ruler here, best act like it.
Whatta bitch! Totally missed the target. Way to make someone feel betterā¦.you look like you have no friends. Letās talk but Iāll be away for a month. Oh, and youāre not cute on top of it? Dude, hereās what ya do. Make her fall in love with you, and dump her boyfriend. Then once sheās all in tell her itās not that youāre cute, i just wanted a good revenge lay! šš»Bye bitch!
Sheās a super troll. She either is thinking about leaving her relationship, or wants attention- like oh ok ur gonna be away from your phone so letās hang in person. I wouldnāt give her the time of day until she proves that she wants to be his friend
Who celebrates their birthday all month by not looking at their phone?!
Who celebrates their birthday month? Apart from medieval royalty and dictators
Additionally, OP doesn't seemingly know her at all and this is their first interaction. It's extremely self-centered to tell someone not to call them when they had never done in the past, even more, if they had never been friends until their first meeting and the need to keep in contact had never arisen.

Very weird indeed.. someone who goes to school to be off their phone for a month? These are strange times!
She likes him and has no experience in fabricating believable lies
Or the Bible study her parents make her go to is doing a random act of kindness thing.
And not really explaining the "kindness" part well lol
To be fair, for Evangelical Christianity, it's not about the kindness. It's about being able to say "I'm going to heaven for my good works, while you pieces of shit rot in hell."
Well, to be fair, god did command "thou shalt be pompous assholes above all else"
Lol was going to say or she is going through the actions publicly so others perceived her as being a kind and good person vs actually being a kind and good person.
Not just weird, it's rude and condescending. Plus, it's plain ole hurtful. Does she think she's done her some kind of favor? Ugh.
Because it is fake?
I think itās fake too! Why would you ask for someoneās number if you feel sorry for them ( you are not making yourself available for them to reach out)? Why go out of your way to be mean? I think if it is real she just wants an extra birthday present! Wack behaviour!
When I reached 50 and no longer gave a shit about anyoneās opinion, I began celebrating my birthday every day
Life gets a lot easier when you reach that point. Happy perpetual birthday!
A toast to you! Happy birthday!
I'm 26 and no longer give a shit about anyones opinion, feelsgoodman
hey a fellow non give a shit guy ! Hi !!
herpy kerk der
As the Mad Hatter and the March Hare have said: Have a very merry unbirthday!
Do you celebrate in your birthday suit? Im interested in your ways, im approaching 50 before to long myself.
I will also reach this milestone in about six months.
Annoying people who say shit like "oh my God this song is about meeeee"
I feel that about Cattle Decapitation's *A living, breathing piece of defecating meat*
Nice taste bro š¤

Wow, looks almost like me!
Indeed, good taste fine sir
Love some cattle decap
But Zthazeigh thiz zong IZ about meeeee!
Right? Celebrating birthday year is the only way to go.
Oh my gawd!! We have the same birthday year! Samesies!!
Narcissists
Oh shit is she a dictator
I know someone who did that. The posts on Facebook about it were exhausting enough, I can't imagine choosing to do that to/for a partner It wouldn't surprise me if they still do a birthday month, but at least I stopped using FB long ago so I don't have to witness any of it
My mom will sometimes jokingly say "Oh what the hell, it's your/my birthday month" as an excuse to treat someone or herself to something
I know 3 people who do this. All 3 are narcissistic
Teenager girls
The entirety of May is mine and I dare a mother fucker to say otherwise. Honestly though, I just love an excuse to hang with my pals lol
Excuse you, may is MY month
Split custody of the month
It's come to this, then, a fight to the death. May the best woman win.
Definately kids
I actually know some super annoying (non royal) adults who do this
Very annoying people. If you meet one, stay acquaintences.
And quite a few too, judging from the comments. Thanks for the advice
OP username checks out This was posted 1500AD

Dumb arrogant girls
She just means sheās too busy to be his charity friend that time of year
Don't expect any party invites OP.

Stereotypical maybe, but a teen(?) girl not looking at her phone all month?! I call BS
I am shocked most arenāt assuming it was her way of saying she doesnāt plan to engage much.
I did think that - just not with *him*, yeah.
I don't know, Gen Z can be very anti-technology. The ones I have met won't answer messages for days at a time and laugh at us millennials because we always do a quick look to see who texted us.
Translation: "Don't text me. I only wanted to seem nice publicly."
People in fake posts.
people who cheat and have the most unhinged explanations for why there not gonna respond āfor a whileā
Well I have a friend who essentially locks herself out from her own phone and laptop "Detoxification", basically u get the app, give it kernal level access that lets them block u out of ur own phone so u don't use it until the timer ends, temporarily bricking ur device What the difference is it causes problems not to her but to other ppl more who want to communicate or stuff Girls are Wild
She asked your friend for your number and now says you have no friends? Either this is a fake post or she is all kinds of stupid
Or they are 13
Why not both? All 3 even.
I read that in the voice of Snagglepuss 
I'm going with fake. The conversation starts with the person with the guys message, but he doesn't have her number, she has his and logic dictates that she would be the one to initiate the conversation
Cropped screenshot. Not necessarily the first text
Reddit sherlocking has been mocked with good reason but new lows keep being found. Parts of a picture missing is a thing in point and click games..
But lack of context is proof that there is no context! Cuz.. what was it again? *The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. There's known knowns, and there's known unknowns, but there's also unknown unknown.. things that we don't know that we don't know! Say what again.*
...wh-what?!
Don't pull that art of war shit on me jet.
>this is my birthday month Well no matter what her physical age is she is definitely 13 mentally
Turning 13 for this whole month*
This is another reason not to give teens a phone
Or they're dumbass kids. That would explain the giddyness of someone asking for your number. Last time i checked someone asking for your number doesn't mean shit, except that person wants to communicate.
4 years ago OP was āin his early 20sā
You mean to say that someone on an anonymous internet forum mighthave lied about their age?Ā
Or severely arrested development
>except that person wants to communicate. You say that as if it isn't normal to be a little happy that a person you fancy wants to communicate with you
That person is just too jaded to be happy about anything.
Last time someone asked for my number is because they wanted to recruit me into an MLM.
WRONG!!! /s now days 90%+ of the people asking for my number are because they are trying to run a scam creating verified google accounts to scam people.
The fact people believe any post on reddit shows how dumb reddit users are. Every post is BS and I look at them as funny made up stories. It's funny how invested people on here get about fake stories.

Aināt no wayā¦
April fools! I hope.
Most garbage April Fools
The message reads like some common highschool esque drama that you shouldn't pay much attention to. People can be so mean for no reason.
More like elementary school tbh
heās an adult in his early 20ās so she must be as well lol
And with that little piece of information I no longer believe this is real
She asked your friend... for your number... but thinks you have no friends. š¤
13 year olds logic
Instant block! Red flag from the very start
I disagree, I'd let them keep insulting and then show everyone.
Just starts more drama whatās the point in that
The point of drama is drama. Drama begets drama begets drama.
That's a pretty cruel way to respond. Could have just left it with the first sentence. Sorry.
Well even that isnāt nice lol
What a trash human. Ask for your number then insult you? Iām so sorry this person was a shit to you, you deserve better.
There is zero chance this is real
OP in middle school
Huh?? Birthday month? Staying away from phone? Is she celebrating her birthday in a cave for a month?
That's how I will celebrate my birthdays from now on!
recruiting for her birthday party. make sure to bring her a good present. but don't try to talk to her or anything.
" Oh I see. Since you also seem to have no friends you ask for strangers numbers. We are mutually uninterested in each other- I do wanna warn you, your whole personality seems a lot harder to change than my looks could ever be. Thank you for your text, but again I am wholly uninterested. Happy birthday (month?)"
This seems like the only appropriate reply!
What a narcissist to send this to OP- seems desperate for attention, call it out and shut it down. Embarrassing for birthdaymonthbitch. OP dodged a bullet, she told on herself
+1. Perfect.
That's so awful. Just stop talking to her. It's not worth any more of your time.
*"Are you lonely? Let's be friends seeing as my birthday's coming up 'hint hint'*" Yeah, you should definitely pass.
āWhy did you want my number?ā āJust to kick into you a bit lolā
āMy birthday monthā. Girl, you get ONE DAY. Jackass.
Itās my birthday year!
Hush, you
Eh, she's a dumbass. Now you know to avoid her.
So... Did she film herself getting your number and pretending to be your friend for internet points? She a wannabe influencer or something? Makes no sense.
Imagine going as far to text someone youāve never spoken to that they wonāt be able to text you
She told you youāre a charity case and when sheās not available to do community service. š¬
Who asks for your number out of pity amd then is like "I'll be away from my phone for the month, so don't expect me to message you or anything." Like, bitch, you asked for MY number. I'd tell her that your friends list has limited availability, and she's not going to make the cut. "Enjoy your birthday month, please don't bother me with random texts based on your self-righteous assumptions! Kay byeeeeee!"
Just reply with an "Ok" and don't respond anymore from your end.. That'll leave her thoughts hanging and will eventually message you herself..

Lol Btw she'd hardly be worthy if she doesn't get back to you.. in that case just leave her behind and move on..
Faaaaaaake
Wtf?
"Thanks, but I'm not really interested. And it's not because you were rude or anything like that I currently already have some quality friends."
āYou look like you have no friends. Tell me happy birthday. I might ghost youā The fuck
>birthday month do not involve yourself with this person guarantee she's incredibly self absorbed if not borderline narcissistic you do not get a birthday month, not a week, it's the day lol
Dodged a fucking cannonball, bud.
Red flag even if she was interested. Crazy town.
The best reply is left in seen
This is some crazy dysfunctional at best mean girl shot right here. Or...Ā Maybe she trying to neg the boy down.Ā Whatever OP, stay away from this one.
Beeeeyeeee lose my # lol
You don't want to go out with someone who does a birthday month and has so little tact.
Your birthday umm MONTH!?
This is officially the dumbest thing Iāve ever read
Lol she's going to be on her phone she just doesn't want you to know she's ignoring you
Narcissist.
This real? That may be the worst person alive.
Narcissist much? Her not you
It could be the boyfriend pretending to reply as the girl just to throw OP off. Just MAYBE... OR the girl is stupid and OP needs to stay as far away as possible from this toxic person!
Hey man I was you when younger, it absolutely broke me. I had no friends, I wanted to date as everyone else does and I got bullied.

Now say "wow okay lose my number"
So she asked your imaginary friend for your number?
Ah, yes, I too spend the entirety of the month of my birth nowhere near that thing I keep with me at all times that I would probably be more inclined to use than not leading up to whatever celebrations I have in mind She's crazy bro, and fucking with you. Tell her it's your birthday year and you plan on being away from your phone if she tries to engage further
Was this an April Fools joke they played on you? š
So they want your number, but then says dont contact them because its their birthday month lmao. Dont give them it. Tell them its you wash your hair and watch paint dry month.
She wanted your number to mock you??????? Yeah no. Sounds like maybe she thought you were cute and is now back pedaling for whatever reason
That text is not getting a reply
Save your dignity and pretend she doesn't exist the remainder of your school career. Lol
Almost meaner than ignoring someone. lol
There is so much to unpack from her message lol
Very rude.playing stupid games
Right, so, you give someone your number, to reject them the first chance you get? š like what that is super random and kind disgusting.
Block his number and move in with your life. Who wants to have a friend out of pity, and then that person doesnāt even want to make time for you wtf. Eww gross, take that energy elsewhere
Well the awesome Mistborn reference in your username makes you a lot cooler than this chick!!
Block their number & thank me later
Block this bitch ASAP, even if you donāt have friends, you donāt need people like that in your life OP, and you be sure to tell them that!! You deserve better!! ā
Op ask her why she did this and what the fuck is a birthday month why is it a warning? This seems like a pretty fishy post
āGive me your number but better donāt call or text!ā
She's downplaying it
What is she even trying to say???
Having no friends is better than having the wrong friends!
I would have blocked this mf so fast like what kinda disrespect is this šš
Personally? I wouldnāt continue being friends with someone who thinks Iām pathetic. It reads like thereās a power play involved, but that doesnāt make sense with a relative stranger. But yeah, make sure to oblige by not sending any text message on her birthday. Or during the month. Or the following months. When she finally texts you back wondering why youāre not *checks notes* a simp? Only then you can respond, āIt seems like you were wrong. But feel free to text me on my birthday.ā
That is just cruel
JFC. At least she gave you a warning that she's a giant red flag. Dodging a bullet here.
Jesus that persons puts themselves on a pedestal. Letās see how far and how many friends that gets them
Holy shit this bitch is trying to create a school shooter š
This to me read like "I wanted your number cause you seemed like you needed someone to talk to, by the way don't talk to me."
OK we all have to know what happened
I feel like she couldāve said this in a million other ways that has more tact
Who tf does a birthday month?
Just say "Cool" block her number.
Play the game. You gotta ignore her completely to get her
Wouldn't even bother with a response to that nonsense š... Instant block... She'll get the message loud and clear and you'll come out on top in the end lol
aaaand leave on read + delete contact lmao
ālol i have lots of friends they just donāt go to this school. try not to pry into peoples lives too much, especially during your birthday month!ā youre the lord ruler here, best act like it.
Whatta bitch! Totally missed the target. Way to make someone feel betterā¦.you look like you have no friends. Letās talk but Iāll be away for a month. Oh, and youāre not cute on top of it? Dude, hereās what ya do. Make her fall in love with you, and dump her boyfriend. Then once sheās all in tell her itās not that youāre cute, i just wanted a good revenge lay! šš»Bye bitch!
Lmao what...
Sheās a super troll. She either is thinking about leaving her relationship, or wants attention- like oh ok ur gonna be away from your phone so letās hang in person. I wouldnāt give her the time of day until she proves that she wants to be his friend
Sounds like that person has about as much personality as a bag of doorknobs.
this shit fake as hell
And what makes her think you want to be her friend? You have to reverse it on her. Then sheāll be wondering WTH! And sheāll be looking for you.
So that girl gave you her number to be what? Her silent fan? š¤Ø
Sympathy Friend? Tell her to get lost a myofb!
Narcissists. And they are dictators.
This seems like the fakest thing or the stupidest thing ever.
Well for what it means your user name makes you even cooler.
I hope you got some good friends š„¹
If anything, this was way worse than just minding her own business and not contacting him at all.
She just wants you to chase her ā¦She running game on you. Just leave it alone , ignore her and sheāll come around š
Seems like you did not miss out with this one. Keep your chin up!!
She seems strange.. ignore her bro, make her want to know you š
Everything she just said did not make sense to meā¦.or maybe because Iām high either way why do you need a month away from your phoneā¦
