Unknown Texts

Recently I have gotten text messages from a number that I don't recognize. I've actually received two from one number in particular. On occasion I have given my phone number out to people that I've met, never to hear from those people again. So, when I received a holiday greeting from a number that I didn't recognize, I figured it was a mass text from one of those guys.

Until I received another text from the same number a few weeks later asking, "What's up? How've you been?"

It seemed to personal to be a mass text message, and I have no idea who this person could possibly be. I ignored this text message as well, not wanting to start a text message conversation that would inevitably turn into, "Who are you?"... "Well, who are you?"

Perhaps I was wrong to ignore the text message, it could have turned out that I did, in fact know who this person is. I guess when it comes right down to it, I'm unsure what the proper textiquette would be in this case. But one thing is for certain, I did not want to start a text message war with someone that I don't know.
