    This is sure to confuse him, especially since he just texted you! Have a little fun and pretend a stranger received his text. You can even ask who he’s looking for to see what he’ll say about you.
    • “Umm I think you have the wrong number.”
    • “Who are you looking for?”
    • “This is Bob. You’ve got the wrong number bro.”
