missed a text from H4
| Fri, 08-29-2008 - 8:57pm |
Oh i feel like a jerk. I missed two texts from H#4 tonight.
the first one "Guess What?" at 6:30 ... then "U there?" at 7 pm.
I just saw it at 8:30pm... the poor guy probably thought i was ignoring him. I feel sooo bad. I immediately sent a reply saying "Sorry i Just saw this. What's up?"
now i'm feeling like he'll ignore me, like he thought i was ignoring him. big D'OH! Should i say anything else. do you think he'll believe me that i just wasn't paying attention to my phone. wasn't expecting to hear from him anyway this soon. have i totally blown it or what.
aye ya ya.

Helllloooo LB? Not High Shcool! lol
1) because of the delicate nature of meeting someone new.
2) i guess a little old programming from the abusive ex.. who flipped out if i missed his calls. (thanks for helping me see that flipping out over a missed text isn't normal.) I'm such a goob about losing the phone, forgetting the phone, leaving it on silent, etc.
3) because he sent two. the second one wondering if i was "there"...
BUT it may all be a moot point. H#4 DID text back.. saying he was drunk. This from the guy who's been trying to stay sober. My first thought is... why would he tell me this? I don't mind a guy who drinks, i do... but when i already know that he's been trying to quick. bad news.
i sent back "one day at a time" but believe me, i have NO intention of getting codependent with this guy.
PS. texting is just another form of communication.. some used to say the same thing about emails.. why not just call... Others
Run Forrest... RUN!
Buddy was telling you he was sober after getting a DUI- and that lasted what, 2 weeks??? Buddy has a DRINKING problem Loony, and you need no part of it.
He's not a friend who needs your support, he's a guy you met at the bar a few days ago: no history or relationship between you, so walk away now.
As for the missing of his text, it happens: you don't have to jump every time the phone rings or beeps. Same thing for calls or emails, you can chose to return the contact later. Especially if you were busy or working, if you didn't hear the phone it's that simple- nothing to be sorry for.
Ok - lets start with the least important stuff. Yeah, I get texting. Do it myself. But would never have that as the main form of communication with someone. I am amazed when i hear that a guy asked someone out for a date via text. Just weird to me. But, to each his own.
I SO get the programming from an abusive X. I once was at Carlos & was swinging my keys around nonchalantly on his front porch - at nite - during a snow storm - on the 2nd floor. WHOOPS!
I hear you both loud and clear. I'm no rescuer and will NOT go down that road again.
i'm not one to judge. i understand everyone has slip ups. The road to recovery has many relapses. But he's not my problem... no shape or form. Plus they say, a guy trying to quit drinking shouldn't even date for a year. He's undateable... NEXT.
