Textless Leg Syndrome

Similiar to textless syndrome, but with a better pun. You think your cell phone is going off with a text from your crush, but it is just your nerves. Common when sitting on the couch, watching TV or twiddling your thumbs. Symptoms include sweating and restlessness.
There it was again. The feeling. John slowly reached down and grabbed the phone from his pocket... he glanced down at the phone... no text. The sixth time he had done that. It seemed as if Emily would never text him back. He had heard of this. His friends once had a mild case of Textless Leg Syndrome, or TLS, but this was the full-blown case. It was teenage hunting season.
