If you are going to preach it, practice it! I am known for loathing the custom of courting via text and find men who do to be unworthy of my affection.
I have just successfully stood Mr. Coke up without my knowledge or intent all because I texted! Oh my goodness! I feel awful. It went like this: I couldn't decide when would be the best time to meet since I was trying to balance 3 potential weekend dates. I suggested to Mr. Coke via text that we meet up for brunch, hesitating to call for some reason I am still unsure. I failed to mention in the text that I meant Sunday. He showed up at the agreed upon restaurant at noon today! I was across town having lunch with a friend and paying little attention to my cell phone (highly unusual behavior). When I got in my car at 1pm I had 3 texts from Mr. Coke starting with "I'm here" ending a half hour later with "Thank you!" (Read: thanks a lot for standing me up you big poo head) I immediately called him and apologized for the miscommunication. I offered to meet for brunch tomorrow and make it my treat. He accepted with a slight and understandable hesitation in his voice. CRAP! All of this could have been avoided if I had just called like I said I was going to. Lesson: What you preach is right, practice it for the love!
Hopefully I will not learn any difficult lessons on my date with Mac tonight.
Total: still $595, until I have to add back whatever brunch costs tomorrow.
