an accident

So there's this kid that I was friends with a while back, we'll call him Thomas.

We hung out at the beginning of January but then he headed far away for school. We hadn't talked for months because, you know what happens when you don't live close to your friends. So in April, when the eclipse was going down, I woke up in the middle of the night to a text from him saying, "Are you watching the eclipse?!" I was thoroughly confused and wasn't sure how to respond. I was 98% sure he was texting the wrong girl. So I responded, "No:(, was it awesome?!" Five hours later confirmed my suspicions when he merely said, "Yeah it was pretty cool!"

So it was obvs an accident because who just leaves it at that? 

hey

i hate those texts. the ones that just say, "hey". like, you don't say hey or hello over text. you say it when you are walking past someone. texting is for things that have a purpose. and 'hey' does not have a purpose. and so if someone texts me, "hey," then my reply will not be happening.

texting conversations suck, unless it's with megan or rachel or good friends. but if it's some boy that you don't know that well yet, then why don't they just take you out and you can have your texting conversation over dinner? 

the after date text

dumbest thing ever, in my opinion.

why would you, after just saying goodnight and thanking your date for the lovely evening, ever text him minutes later saying,
"um, i'm not sure if you remember me saying thanks like five minutes ago... so, thanks again! i had such a great time! you are so charming!"
when you really did just say it to him... in person.

it's insulting, really.

cause now you're gonna be texting for a while, possibly. and texting is kinda lame. especially compared to a date, if it was a good'n.

it's especially weird when guys send the after date text.
"hi, i know i just thanked you at your door, but i wasn't sure if you heard me. thanks again for coming on this date with me, it wouldn't have been the same without you."

please, just let it be.
