westernxer Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Just thought I'd share this experience with everyone, since you're all so kind to share yours as well... Ran into this chick at the beach Saturday, and she totally rocked my world. We started chatting after spotting some dolphins close to shore, and she eventually gave me her number. Problem was, I didn't have my cell on me, so I committed it to memory, then had my brother text it over on his, after I returned to my spot. Decided to call her yesterday, but it turns out the number didn't exist. I must've gotten the numbers mixed up, and I wasn't too happy about it. In fact, I lost my appetite because of it. LOL Lesson to be learned: Never ask for a number if you have nowhere to store it. Using your brain can work against you, and it may even break your heart. At least I'll be able to look back and laugh about it, while enjoying the rest of my summer at the beach. Maybe I'll even see her again, but there's plenty of fish in the sea if I don't.
Art_Critic Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 I think life is forcing you to have a sense of humor.. Sorry Westy.. Do you remember that TV commercial where the hot babe writes her phone number in the frost on a window of a train and the guy who she is writing it for doesn't have anything to write with and all the other guys around him are writing the number down ? Funny stuff
EnigmaXOXO Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 And she’s thinking : ... “Now, why don’t he call ???”

Author westernxer Posted July 24, 2007 Author Posted July 24, 2007 And she’s thinking : ... “Now, why don’t he call ???” That's the part that kills me. The unknown. Oh well, if you can't laugh about it, you'll drive yourself nuts. Last thing I want is to stalk the beach. I'll probably see her if I start talking to other chicks. LOL
Chinook Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Life also has a decent sense of irony too. Online DVD rental thing... they sent out "The Breakup" yesterday
Author westernxer Posted July 25, 2007 Author Posted July 25, 2007 Life also has a decent sense of irony too. Online DVD rental thing... they sent out "The Breakup" yesterday That's a good movie. Much better story than I thought. Ending was great, too. And you could have offered he YOUR number... Who's he? LOL I could've given her my number, but she'd never call. They never do. Guys have to do the hunting. Anyhow, I think she gave me a bogus number. Hindsight is 20/20, and I hate being right all the time. How ironic is that? LOL
Chinook Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 And you could have offered he YOUR number... Errm... wasn't me who said it! And I think it was a typo for 'her'. But I think you're right, I think she may have given you a bogus number. Girls huh..?! Can't live with 'em...
ruby_gloom Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Who's he? LOL you know, west, whenever i read your posts, i always laugh because of your little "LOL". i don't know if you're really laughing when you type that, but it makes me laugh when i read it. i can't help it. you're silly. maybe she did give you a bogus number. or maybe she didn't. now you'll never know, and that's what sucks the most, as you said, "the unknown". but since this is something you can't figure out (unless you see her again), back to the beach you go. or as someone cooler would say: We'll get 'em next time, champ.
Pyro Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 you know, west, whenever i read your posts, i always laugh because of your little "LOL". i don't know if you're really laughing when you type that, but it makes me laugh when i read it. i can't help it. you're silly. maybe she did give you a bogus number. or maybe she didn't. now you'll never know, and that's what sucks the most, as you said, "the unknown". but since this is something you can't figure out (unless you see her again), back to the beach you go. or as someone cooler would say: Are you sure that this girl was not you? You two live in the same area.
Author westernxer Posted July 26, 2007 Author Posted July 26, 2007 Errm... wasn't me who said it! And I think it was a typo for 'her'. Sorry about that. Wasn't using multiple quotes and was somewhat rushed this morning. It's been a humbling week for me. LOL you know, west, whenever i read your posts, i always laugh because of your little "LOL". i don't know if you're really laughing when you type that, but it makes me laugh when i read it. i can't help it. you're silly. I actually do laugh when I use it, or else I'm smiling really big. maybe she did give you a bogus number. or maybe she didn't. now you'll never know, and that's what sucks the most, as you said, "the unknown". but since this is something you can't figure out (unless you see her again), back to the beach you go. Just got back from the beach... she wasn't there. The beach is mine, once again! LOL I hate infatuation. It's really unhealthy if you don't get what you want. Then again, if I got what I wanted, I'd have eaten her alive. LOL
NextLevel Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 I've always believed in the big picture. There was a reason you spoke to her and a reason you can't reach her. You're gorgeous and have a smile like Springtime. You will find love.
alphamale Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Decided to call her yesterday, but it turns out the number didn't exist. maybe she gave you a fake # oh well, it could have been worse...she could have given you one of those blow off numbers. when the dude calls he gets a pre-recorded message telling him to get lost
Hazy Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 I know this is bad but I still give out fake numbers if I'm not interested. But it's very possible this isn't the case.
Touche Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 I was the master at giving fake numbers. But that's not important...what I want to know is if you know her last name..do you know where she works?
This_Too_Shall_Pass Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 It seems like the fates are conspiring against you, West.. I don't know which one will make you feel better (or worse): The fact that you indeed forgot her number, or that she gave you a phony one. I suggest you go to the beach everyday and wait for her to visit again. You can pass the time making sandcastles. P.S.: It's true, laughter is the best medicine.
Author westernxer Posted July 26, 2007 Author Posted July 26, 2007 I was the master at giving fake numbers. So ruthless, and crafty! They don't call you Touche for nothing. But that's not important...what I want to know is if you know her last name..do you know where she works? I don't have that information, and it's probably better that I don't... makes it easier to put behind me. Started feeling better when I mentioned it to my boss, who told me three of our Canadian employees are going through much worse (failing marriage, broken engagement, etc.). Guess I have a lot to be grateful for.
Author westernxer Posted July 26, 2007 Author Posted July 26, 2007 I suggest you go to the beach everyday and wait for her to visit again. You can pass the time making sandcastles. I still go, but I go for me. That's not gonna change, whether or not the sand princess returns. I love it too much, and no one's gonna spoil it for me.
This_Too_Shall_Pass Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 I still go, but I go for me. That's not gonna change, whether or not the sand princess returns. I love it too much, and no one's gonna spoil it for me. I was being facetious, of course. But I'm with you on how you've decided to tackle it. All this time of being on LS teaches us something, doesn't it.
Zona76 Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 re: And you could have offered he YOUR number... Okay it was a misspell. But you still could have given her your number. What does it hurt if she doesn't call?
tinktronik Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 I was the master at giving fake numbers. But that's not important...what I want to know is if you know her last name..do you know where she works? I once gave out a fake # to this guy I met and the next week my sister met him and gave her the # to our house . He called and recognized my voice . How embarrassing to have to face a lie. I never gave out another fakie again.

How embarrassing to have to face a lie. I never gave out another fakie again. That's funny, Tink...that's what you get when you try to deceive I guess. It really is such a dishonest thing to do. I was just such a wuss though. I couldn't turn someone down to their face. Not if they were nice anyway...the jerks, I had no problems turning down.
melodymatters Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 I usually use the "I have a boyfriend " line. It spares ego's. Plus sometimes they then give you their number "in case things don't work out with your BF" and It has happened that I've called them. What kind of guy your in the mood for can sometimes change !
Author westernxer Posted July 26, 2007 Author Posted July 26, 2007 But you still could have given her your number. What does it hurt if she doesn't call? I could have, but she didn't ask... the rest is history (or lack of it). LOL
