Dating by sister proxy

There's a guy I've been texting for a few days. Nothing serious- he seems nice but rather vapid, and I'm fairly uninterested. He's also one of those who puts "xx" on the end of everything, and if you've read this blog before, you'll know that I hate that from strangers. Anyway, it's been silent for a few days, and then he texted me while I was sitting looking at dresses online with my sister. She decided she would answer him- nothing weird, just answering his questions, saying I'm home with her and her Chihuahua. His response?

"There's something about you heather... Like a book... A book I'd like to read in fine detail..."

We sat and just laughed at that, I mean, what the hell? Considering we hadn't spoken in days and he knows fairly little about me, I'm wondering. Also, take half a second to capitalise my name, it's the done thing.
Straight after this was this gem:

"Aww no way :D I shall come steal Spartacus and you ;) hehe xxxx"

The extra Xs here are because my sister decided to put them on the end of her text to him, whereas I'd been stoically ignoring them. Also, he capitalised the dog's name. Humph.

Sister tried to reply but the signal here is nonexistent and it didn't send. Good.
