We've have progressed to phone number exchange! Specifically with two guys. One didn't make my list yesterday, mainly because I'm not really that excited about him. The other is the Veteran...but I just saw the message and haven't actually used the phone number/given him mine yet.
This guy, Denver as he shall be called, has inspired very bleh feelings. He seems nice enough, we certainly have a lot of things in common, and he looks attractive enough based on his profile photos. I don't know why I'm so uninterested...or rather unenamored by him. Either way, we exchanged enough messages, and we swapped digits. He called me on Monday night, but I missed it. Partly because I was still in a bratwurst-induced WI coma and partly because my phone is almost always on vibrate.
I had trouble talking myself into calling him yesterday, so I just texted him and asked if he cared to chat on Thursday since my week was crazy. Oh so very crazy. I had a volleyball game at 8:30pm that I was mentally preparing for. That's my story. We bantered a little bit; it was cute. He came off like a nice guy.
What I did NOT expect was a text message today. And a two pager at that...complete with spaces between lines. I get that you're excited to chat with me (as you should be), but it's a little intense. I went from warming up to him to being convinced he was going to cut off one of my fingers as a keepsake. I'm not sure when I started believing that any guy that showed genuine interest was going to kill me (well, actually I can pinpoint it, but that's another post for another day).
It amazes me how quickly someone can fall out of favor. I mean, all it takes is one overzealous text message - granted I wasn't crazy about the guy to begin with - to leave a bad taste in my mouth. I've had people make a simple spelling/grammatical in a message, and I write them off. And yet, the last job I applied for, my cover letter was riddled with typos (and THEY still called me).
I was definitely on my high horse and complaining about everything yesterday. But I'm going to give this guy the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he is just amazed that someone can be this cool. Plus, he just used "prowess" in a text message, and I'm a sucker for vocab.
