Today, I spent two hours perfecting a really romantic text message to my boyfriend for our one year anniversary. I listed all the things I loved about him, and recalled some of our best times together. Two minutes after I sent it, he replied, "Huh?" FML

It's a text, never say anything meaningful in a text.

For some reason, text message doesn't exactly scream "romantic"..even a paper airplane or a phone call would have been more romantic =_=

I'm not going to try to comment about the medium being 'romantic' or otherwise. Noone seems to have thought of something rather simple. Text messages can only be 160 characters long. Yes, smartphones will split them up and send them in multiple messages, but not all phones do. OP's boyfriend may have said 'Huh?' because the message showed up on his phone ending with 'and I love when you' or 'remember when we'

Its possible the text came through truncated... I often receive large text messages as multimedia texts with no actual data in them.

Romantic text messages are... well... yeah... at least I don't do them. Nor my boyfriend. And such things as anniversaries.. we don't celebrate them, either. Maybe because we don't know the date... ah, who cares.
