If the text is innocent, like, “Hey, thinking about you,” or, “Can’t sleep. What are you up to?” then it’s probably not a booty call.

If the text says anything like, “You up?” “Wyd?” or, “Come over?” then it’s most likely a booty call.

For instance, if they text you, “Hey, I can’t sleep. ” You might say, “Weird, me neither. Maybe we’re both thinking about each other too much. ” Or, if they say, “Hey, just thinking about you,” you might say, “Wow, you read my mind. Is that why you aren’t asleep yet?”

Unfortunately, responding to a booty call can sometimes blur the lines between friendship and committed relationship. This often leads to a “situationship,” where you’re hooking up with someone, but you’re not really sure what your label is. [4] X Research source

This is also kind of a cheeky way to let someone know that they shouldn’t text you so late at night.
