I had a 'situation' and so I am here to warn you all about it, in hopes that none of you ever unintentionally embarass yourselves as I did.
Here's what happened: I was texting this guy that I was dating-about our upcoming date. Just basics of where and when it would be good timing. He texted me back-but being that he's a sarcastic guy AND that Pesach is like in a bit over a week-I wasn't sure if he was serious or kidding about the timing, so I texted back a mere few words: 'seriously? were u kiddin me?'
However, I didn't bother rereading my text before I sent it-why should I? He was the only one texting me at that point during those few minutes, so I knew it was going to him and what could be harmful about 3 words.
Except: to my horror, I saw that my finger hit the 's' which is so conveniently placed next to the letter 'd' on my beautiful iPhone touchpad. So I asked him if he was kissing me. Ya, it's really no big deal as we ALL KNEW that's not what I meant. Except, he's a guy, and he's goin out with me, so I assume he's interested-also he's the type to make a deal about it. So ya, I only came to the realization of my typo when he asked me what I was really thinking and what was really on my mind (insert silent scream here).
OKEE ladies & gents-I had to do some major damage control here, but be warned peoples-even amazing iPhones can only spell check and not grammatically read your mind to change the words around-after all 'kiss' is a proper word, spelled correctly.
And for you saps-NO, I was NOT thinking about that at all....atleast not yet (sigh)
Oh man that's embarrassing! We've all had our fair share of embarrassing moments...
ReplyDeleteI recently called the WRONG shadchan to give feedback about a second date I had with someone.
That's what you get for using vulgar texting technology. Don't complain that romance is dead-you're part of its decline.
