"U around? Wanna hang out?"
He means:
"Yes, I know it's midnight and I could have sent you a text earlier this week to make proper plans to take you on a proper date, but I didn't do that. You're cool with just being a booty call, right? If so, hit me back. Also, I'm s--t-faced."

He texts:
"My sis' ring-tone is that song u liked from Country Strong. Random, right?"

He texts:
"Hey my friends and I are watching the game later. U should come join us."
He means:
