Katherineos123 Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 So I was out at a club last night for a girlfriends birthday, and met this super awesome guy... I never expect to meet a person of sustenance at a bar, so I was pleasantly surprised. We laughed, we flirted, we talked about music, we talked about how the club scene wasnt our scene, we smooched a little, we exchanged numbers. I was on my A game. I took a cab back home, late, feelin pretty silly faced. I got a text from him later that night saying something super sweet along the lines of "I would give anything to ditch these guys (he too was there for a bday party) and be with you" so in my drunken stuper (thinking I was being funny) I said "Yeah! Id share my wonton soup with you!" D'oh ... but the idiotacy didnt stop there. He wrote me back saying "Mhhm sounds good. I cant wait to see you again" To which I replied along the lines of "well you seem to like wonton soup, and your pretty easy on the eyes. So thats double points right there" THEN! I wrote ANOTHER! saying "cause if you didnt like wonton, Id either say thats a dealbreaker, or you're a liar" Slaps forehead. I hate myself. Then when I awoke this morning, feeling dreadful, I had remember what I wrote.... and in an attempt to right my ridiculous wrongs I said "haha. yeah, you can feel free to go ahead and erase any and all messages from me which contain the word "wonton" He wrote back saying "its all good. I hope the soup was yummy at least" Ive completely ruined it. Havent I?! Should I try and make this better? Or see if he calls me? What am I saying. He wont. Im a lunatic.
Serenitynow Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Im a lunatic. For once I didnt have to say it.
Pfiend101 Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 lol settle down. Sounds like you were both drunk. People say stupid stuff when they are drunk. Why dont you message him within the next couple of days seeing if he wants to meet up. Just the two of you and without so much booze. Good luck
alexlakeman Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 It will be fine... At least he knows you like to drink and party.... I am sure he's drunk texted before, lol... we all have
USMCHokie Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Ummm, I didn't see a single thing wrong with any of your texts to him...it was playful banter going back and forth...I assume the guy has a sense of humor...? Seriously, what are you worried about...?
Imajerk17 Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 "Seriously, it was awesome meeting you." might not be a bad text to send next. The thing with meeting someone in a bar is you never know if they remember you when the alcohol wears off. Good to show him that you did. You didn't do anything of 'dealbreaker' status.
Author Katherineos123 Posted October 4, 2010 Author Posted October 4, 2010 Hahahaha... Thanks guys. That makes me feel better. Im debating maybe sending him a message tomorrow night just saying "so, if you dont think me too much of a lunatic, Id love to still go out sometime with you... maybe we can get some Wonton soup. I know a place ;)" Or should I wait and see if he contacts me?... Find out if he thinks the juice is worth the squeeze. Haha.
Pfiend101 Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 I would stop calling yourself a lunatic. The wonton thing wasn't that big of a deal. I've said much worse than that. lol
Feelin Frisky Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Cute stuff. You're not an asshat. But a man of sustenance? LOL I guess wanton soup qualifies as sustenance.
USMCHokie Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 I don't know what's so bad about the wonton stuff...it's actually funny, endearing, and gives him something to remember about you...
Imajerk17 Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Hahahaha... Thanks guys. That makes me feel better. Im debating maybe sending him a message tomorrow night just saying "so, if you dont think me too much of a lunatic, Id love to still go out sometime with you... maybe we can get some Wonton soup. I know a place ;)" Or should I wait and see if he contacts me?... Find out if he thinks the juice is worth the squeeze. Haha. I'd go with this: "I'd love to still go out Id love to still go out sometime with you... maybe we can get some Wonton soup. I know a place ;)" (save the "lunatic" bit, although I don't think it would be a disaster if you sent it with that in)
Author Katherineos123 Posted October 4, 2010 Author Posted October 4, 2010 I dont think any thread in the history of the internet has used the word "wonton" quite as abundantly as this one. Chokie: I should have sent them to you. Jerk: First of all, I dont actually believe that you are one. Secondly, you're right. Perhaps I shouldnt draw any more attention to the fact that Im a little bananas.
Knittress Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 You think you're an asshat? Really? Do OTHER people think you're an asshat? 'Cause I just interpreted all that as somebody with a personality. (btw - that exchange would totally be ME, dead sober)
Star Gazer Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 I really don't see anything wrong with the banter you exchanged - at all. In fact, that looks very similar to the text banter I have had with pretty much any guy I've ever dated...
SincereOnlineGuy Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 my... soup He wrote me back saying "Mhhm... good. " You'd have known he was a keeper had he just lettered that a tiny bit differently.
Author Katherineos123 Posted October 4, 2010 Author Posted October 4, 2010 You'd have known he was a keeper had he just lettered that a tiny bit differently. Hahahaha! If this were a Facebook post... I would "like" it.
Author Katherineos123 Posted October 4, 2010 Author Posted October 4, 2010 I did it. I sent him a msg this morning saying "so, drunken and bizzare text conversations aside. I really would like to meet up sometime :)" So he texted me back and we have plans for wed night! So, the moral of the stort goes, I may come off as a looney toon.... But some dudes dig it
tigressA Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 That's great, yay! Have fun and be sure to update
Author Katherineos123 Posted October 7, 2010 Author Posted October 7, 2010 So, my Wanton and I talked on the phone Monday night, he said he was looking forward to seeing me again. Scheduled a date for Wed night. Said he would think of something to do and then call me tomorrow (tuesday) Tues came and went, no phone call. No biggie. Then today, I texted him this morning making some crack about the weather being yucky (.... I got no game) and didn't hear back from him until around 3:00 when he cancelled for tonight saying he didnt feel well. I texted him back saying that it was no troubles, it was a good night for soup and a movie anyway He then called me to ask if I wanted to go out tomorrow night instead, to which I agreed. Cancelling on the first date... Bad sign? An excuse? Maybe he's not TOO too into me. I shoulda offered to bring him some soup
tigressA Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 Since you already agreed to tomorrow night I would go ahead. If he cancels again or you don't hear from him at all, write him off. Just remember that if you do go out tomorrow, and things develop, you need to set boundaries as far as expectations for contact, etc.
Knittress Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 The guy called you right back to reschedule! He obviously wants to see you again.
