Here's my story:
I was chatting with a guy I met online and then we exchanged numbers (and I gave my home #) and decided to meet. Well the day of the "meet" I was running late w/errands and I did not have his phone number with me -- left it at home. Anyway I got home late and called to apologize. He didn't seem very receptive but we continued talking. During this same conversation, I offered to give him my cell # to which he declined -- stating I have your home and that's sufficient. Whatever!! Well last night I get home after 8:45 pm and this guy leaves a message on my phone at 4:30 pm asking that we meet at the mall.
I didn't call him back and sent this email today:
Sorry I was unable to meet you yesterday at the Mall, but did not receive your message until I arrived home from work. You were reluctant in taking my work # and/or cell # and nor do I want to force the issue, but in the future if you are trying to connect or would like to meet, I don't have a problem with being spontaneous, but you would need to be a bit more flexible (and open) in taking a number from me to assure a contact. In retrospect, calling me at home at 5:00 pm (when I leave work after 5:30 pm) is moot.
Also, as stated in a previous conversation, the best time to reach me in the evening (at HOME) would be after 7:30 pm.
On another note, how is your day going?

His response:
What??? anyway moot point or not you had my home number and failed notify me that you could not meet so allow me to put in perspective don't bother now I would prefer to discontinue further communications with you you could have called to say you could not make but you di not. Now since you're being a but about it your excuse did nor cut it with so don't bother.

My response:
Wise decision. Good luck to you!

That should be "if you're curious".
This should be changed to "the grammer and spelling thread".
LOL

That was on purpose.
Yeah.
Really.
HA!!!
Too funny...we'll try to be more vigilant in the future ;-).
