Yeah but she only text me yesterday. Isn't it too soon?


Oh deary me. Of course not. If I were you, I would have replied back yesterday when she sent the text. If you haven't replied to her text saying she's ill already, she probably thinks you're not that bothered about her.

It's probably just something minor which if I text her will look stupid.


oh dear lord!

if its minor she'll just go oh yup thanks for asking

just ask if she's feeling better

even if it was just yesterday - if its minor she'll say yes thanks if its not she'll say no

its not that much of an issue

I feel honoured to have this priviledge bestowed upon me. Not sure how the Asian part comes into this at all but never mind. Do you know what's up with her? Did she say it's just flu or something?


No, just "been ill".

True. I didn't enquire about her illness. Felt it's not my business to.

Yeah, I get it now: just text her. I'm rather pathetic I know.

Ah right, that doesn't help. If it's a cold you can ask how she's doing and joking ask whether she needs soup. If she has diarrhea, soup's not a good idea.

I'll probably just text - it's not as though I'll be suffocating her with it.

If she's told you she's ill, that's sort of making it your business.

I'm just going to assume that Mr Advice is winding everyone up, funny thread though.

Say you text a guy and told him you're ill and not feeling too well, would you expect him to check up on you later by asking how you're feeling? Or would it seem over-bearing and clingy?

The guy by the way is not a boyfriend if that is relevant.


I'm a guy and I would check up because that's what you should do and because I'd genuinely care. that could of course be the doctor inside of me...
