Methinks thou doth protest too much. I’m sorry, I don’t understand the inner turmoil. A stranger starts texting you, you engage and soon find out the person at the other end of the line is a man. No thanks, not interested, life goes on. What am I missing? What specifically troubles you so much to cause you to replay the text over and over?

Did you ever find out how this person got your number? Unless you have the number posted in some type of public forum, it would seem someone you knew gave the person your number.

I think you’ve learned a valuable lesson here: if you get a message from an unknown number and the person refuses to identify him/herself, end the dialogue. It really needn’t be any more complicated than that.
