"It is incredible how often I hear crazy text message stories from friends and perfect strangers alike when explaining my business," says John Skorick, founder of MyAKA, which provides a second phone number to give to new dating prospects.

Naturally, we have got a whole lot of examples for these "what is wrong with him?" moments. . . Read on.

1. "We went on two dates together and he immediately got very obsessive, but I wasn't into him. I told him I couldn't talk to him anymore and he acted weird about the whole thing (he asked me if we could just hang out and kiss and not be boyfriend and girlfriend in those exact words). He then proceeded to text me randomly for a full year afterwards." - JB

2. "First text he sent." - MA

8. It only takes one day.
"So I was on Match.com for one day and this guy and I were chatting. He seemed normal so I gave him my number. We were texting back and forth when he told me he was coming down to my town to swim. He then revealed to me that he was skinny dipping and I didn't respond. He texted me again saying the same thing. When I didn't respond he sent me this text!" - Chelsea
