If you’ve liked someone from afar and finally want to say something:

"Hey [Name], we’ve crossed paths a few times, but you don't really know me yet. I'd love to change that—would you want to grab coffee sometime?" 3. The "We've Grown Apart" Text

"You give me your hand and then say goodbye, and I watch you walk away... but the truth is, you don't know me. You don't know the one who loves you."

If someone is being overly familiar or persistent, use this to set a firm boundary:

"Just because you knew me then doesn't mean you know me now. I've changed a lot, and I'm happy with who I've become."

"Keep my name out of your mouth. You don't know me like that." Which of these fits the you're going for? You Don't Know Me - song and lyrics by Summer Walker

2. The "Secret Crush" Text (Inspired by Willie Nelson / Ray Charles)

"You've got it all figured out in your head, but you don't actually know me like you think you do." 4. The Short & Punchy Text (Inspired by Armand van Helden ) For a confrontational or "main character" vibe: "You don't know me. You only know what I allow you to see."
