jules-marie Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 four weeks ago i met my brothers childhood 'matt' friend at a party. we hng out the whole night, have alot in common and he was the perfect gent. walked me home, kiss on the cheek and asked for my number! we'd really hit it off. we'd agreed to go on a date but i'd insisted how busy i was the following week. he didnt text. then 2 weeks after that party i had already given up hope he would text when i got a random 'merry xmas' sms. i asked who it was and he said 'matt..fancy a drink in the new year? ' here is why i am a tool. was totally stressed at the time and assumed this was a creep 'matt' from uni that im always trying to give the brish off. i blanked the sms. today. 2 weeks later. whilst remininiscing on dreamy matt the penny dropped. needless to say, i am kicking myself! i added him on facebook wit a message saying 'hi, happy new year, how was ur xmas?'. on his page, his status says hes going on holiday for a week from today. is it highly unlikely he will contact me? he probabley thinks im so rude. anything else i could do? i refrained from immediately explaining the misunderstanding, cause lets face it, it was pretty dumb anyway, how do i save this sunken ship?
D-Lish Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 If all you've been thinking about for the past 2 weeks is "Matt"- why would your first thought be that it was from a different "Matt" from long ago?
Author jules-marie Posted January 8, 2010 Author Posted January 8, 2010 he wasnt 'all i was thinking about.' for the first few days i was awaiting a text. i eventually gave up hope and i'd put him out of my head. then a couple of days later, whilst i was extremely stressed out and hadnt slept in over 24 hours i assumed it was irritating matt who texted me. irritating matt is not from long ago- but is currently in my a couple of my classes in uni. whilst discussing the party with a friend who only asked about it today...it dawned on me that this was not irritating matt who had text me.
DiscoChick Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Would it have been too prudent of you to email him on facebook telling him about the misunderstanding? Also, if he's truly interested in you, he'll contact you again.
boogieboy Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 You brushed him off twice, you HAVE to call him and tell him about the misunderstanding..but be prepared for him not to believe you...after all, you blew him off twice.
Author jules-marie Posted January 8, 2010 Author Posted January 8, 2010 i guess i was a little embarressed at how it would sound. since d-lish didnt seem to find it feasible, i was worried at how mad it would sound to him. anyway, hopefully he'll respond, then i'll jokingly fill him in. thanks guys!
Author jules-marie Posted January 8, 2010 Author Posted January 8, 2010 me saying i was too busy for a date wasnt really a brush off... it was said at the party and he agreed that it was a bad week for him too. me not responding, definite blow off! really wish i'd explained it in the first mail now. a second mail, without a response from him will make me look crazy.
