Second “Board” update I

“Oh, I just got home from work i’m watching tv now and I just remembered to call.”

The words via text message from the Salad Works/Hard to Read girl at about 9:30 pm.

At around 11:30 am yesterday I asked her if she was busy and wanted to go out that evening. She responded that she would be working till 8:30 pm but after had no plans and the idea of going out after work, “Sounds great.”

So I told her to give me a call when she got out of work at 8:30. She said ok.

An hour passed. No call.

Mind you, I was in the company of a buddy from college who just happened to be in the area at the time. I was planning on just relaxing with him until Salad Works girl called, at which point I would head out to go pick her up and begin our evening dinner date.

When she finally called, which by the way- she didn’t even call she sent a text message, she informed me that she was watching tv and remembered over an hour after her shift had ended to contact me. What’s worse is, she gave no impression or inclination about wanting to head out at this point.

And frankly, I wasn’t much in the mood to go spending time, money, and effort on a girl that obviously didn’t find me important enough to remember to call. She didn’t even show the decency to call, she sent a text message instead. Come on?!

I was a little disappointed, a pretty frustrated with her. I didn’t ask much of her. I can understand if a person is so busy that it slips their mind about the conversation and the plans that we had made earlier in the day.

But, when you finally do remember that I asked you to call, at least show a little class and call. When you do call, it’d be nice if you offered an apology for forgetting and leaving me waiting.

And if, perhaps, it is the case that you really didn’t feel up for going out after work and that may be why you didn’t call till so late, do me a favor; just call and say it. It looks so much better and respectable for a person to call and say, “hey, I know we had plans tonight but, i’m kind of tired from work and I’d much rather stay in and take a rain check on that date.”

Do not take the cowardly way out by delaying the call call either hoping I’ll forget our plans or in an effort to stall until you’ve come up with the fortitude or a good enough excuse to give me the “brush off”. It seems to me like the right thing to do.

Oh well. Her loss.
