Are you kidding me?

So this morning I got a text message from Richard - NOT my brother-in-law - asking me if I'm available for dinner tonight.

Um. Let me think here.

No.

Asking out by text... classy. ;)

[mugglechump.livejournal.com]

I only date men of the highest quality, obviously. *snerk*

He's back again?

And I must agree... being asked out by a text message? Hmmm.

Men. There must be good ones out there; I'm convinced there are good ones out there. But... where are they?

[crazy-lil-loud1.livejournal.com]

Hiding.
They are scared of great women like us.

[mugglechump.livejournal.com]

Yeah, out of the woodwork after a month/month-and-a-half of no contact.

Good men? They appear to be stuck in works of literature or married to women who worked more quickly than we have. *sigh*

nice. can you keep him around so i have something to laugh at?

[mugglechump.livejournal.com]

Sorry, as hard as it is for me to get rid of people in the first place, I don't think I'll be re-opening this particular can of worms. Feel free to laugh anyway, though.

text message? o.0
wtf?!

[mugglechump.livejournal.com]

Yes, he is truly a charmer. However did I not fall for him?

This icon says it all.

[mugglechump.livejournal.com]

Truly.

Does that mean that if you said yes and got a relationship going, you could break-up via texting as well? That would be hella funny.

[mugglechump.livejournal.com]

Well, we saw each other very casually for about two months or so. Then we just stopped without any specific 'breaking up'. I suppose texting would be a bit more advanced than that. *snerk*

[cliodnahpfan.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I just realized as I re-read my comment that it sounded really bitchy, and I didn't mean it that way! :(

[mugglechump.livejournal.com]

I didn't think it was bitchy. No worries!

Perhaps he never got to ask a girl out by text when he was a teenager (and these things were acceptable), so he's making sure he gets to do it now?

[mugglechump.livejournal.com]

I don't know, maybe. But he can practice his teenaged-variety wooing on another woman. I'm not interested.

[tacymae1.livejournal.com]

Did you at least send him a text message back "nope you dope"?

[mugglechump.livejournal.com]

I was a bit more diplomatic, but yes, I told him I was not available. The next text asked 'Maybe another time?' I've not worked up an answer to that yet. 'Hell no' seems a little cruel, so I've got a bit of editting to do before I reply.

Good damn grief.
