But deletes it a few hours later before you have had the chance to open the message and answer?

He tried to get your attention.
You not answering made him think maybe it was a dumb thing to say.

He deletes it and might write you something wittier later.

You could playfully respond…

He Mister…. Don’t delete my DMS!!!
