Woman Finally Gets A Reply From Her Crush – Eight Years Later

Relationships July, 15, 2025

Everybody gets nervous when you text your crush, all the while wondering if s/he would reply or just leave it on seen. It’s always exciting and thrilling. However, if the latter happens, it always breaks our heart into pieces. Now imagine how would you react if your crush who had left your heart in pieces, replies to your text after almost a decade?

This is what happened to this Australian woman who thought she was ghosted by the guy who she used to fancy. Sally, from Adelaide, Australia was baffled when she opened her phone only to see a reply from a guy she liked- eight years and seven months after she texted.

It’s quite shocking how the guy thought it was okay to text her after such a long time like everything’s okay, and with the lamest excuse ever.

The conversation first happened when the guy initiated the conversation saying, “Hey gorgeous how are you?”. Playing it cool, Sally replied to him three days later with, “Hey, I’m good thanks. What you been upto?”

That’s it. Sally thought that patience is the key and she would get a reply soon. However, the patient thing got too far when he replied to her eight years later. He said that he only just got her message when he updated his phone. Bro, who has a same phone for eight years?

“I just got your message I had an update on my phone a long time it’s been.” What do you reply to this?

Sally’s post has since gone viral with netizen’s scrutinizing the man’s reply with their own comments on the post. Her post has since garnered more than 12,400 reactions and 460 comments, many of whom talked about how much of a lame excuse is that.

One wrote that the guy’s probably a man of focus and sheer determination. Another wrote, “Even after updating, the autocorrect function is still not working for him.”
