Texting While On A Date

A date can easily go awry and you not even realize what happened.

Things could be smooth-sailing but then all of a sudden you have a bad taste in your mouth and you just had one of your favorite meals at a great restaurant and are sipping on your fave drink.

Nah, it's not the food or drink. It's something he or she did or said.

I've always said dating is interesting. I really can't think of any other word to sum it up.

Any who.

I had something happen to me and it's likely happened to a lot of people.

I'm on a date.

Before the date we talked on the phone and this guy was nice, but on the date he pulled out a cape and turned into Mr. Text and Talk On Cell Phone All Night.

I think to myself hey, "Don't let this bother you, D."

Meanwhile, I set my phone face down and it is on silent.

One, and a two and a three and a four times I see him texting or talking.

Mr. Text and Talk On Cell Phone All Night is about to make me jump in my Civic, throw up the peace sign through my sunroof.

But dag! I didn't drive.

I'm sitting there with my big girl smile, wanting to fight myself because I do not have my roller. I think there is a lesson in this for me as well. Drive your OWN car until date 10.

I see him with his phone in his hand again, uggg.

The night is about half over because I understood how long I would be out before I left home.

Come on clock. Come on!

I'm finally in the car. Whew it's over! And can you believe I actually look at my phone and I have one measily text that says I want a kiss.

Ummm, NO! NO! NO! NO! And ummm, NO!

"You might want to get a kiss from the person you were texting all night!"

"Oh, you trippin!" he said.

"OK," I respond.

"I have a lot of stuff on my phone so I wasn't texting the whole night," he said.

"OK," I respond, thinking this clown must really think that I screw my head off at night.

Then I get the "you got jealous," jab. Get da fudge outta here. No one's jealous. You are just rude, rude, rude.

But I think texting while on a date is one of those things that a person has to feel to understand that it's rude.

So maybe I should go on a few more dates with Mr. Text and Talk On Cell Phone All Night.

I refuse to ignore the early warning signs.

If he's texting and soooo distracted this early, I'm not sure what the case would be in two months or a year.

Soooo, Neeeeext!
