Summary of email to Boy A: I profess to be too busy to worry too much about dating right now, hoping to explain why I haven't called him yet though he gave me his number a week ago.
Phone call with Boy B: First call ever, we chatted a long while.
Text from Boy A: He says hi, thanks for your email, let's keep in touch for when there's time.
Text to friend Tiffany about Boy B (she is also juggling this single-mom-dating-thing): "We talked. He sounds pretty good... but he laughs a lot. A LOT. Argh why am I so PICKY!!!"
I press "send"... and in a panic see that it's going to Boy A, NOT Tiffany.
I press "Cancel"
cancel
cancel
cancel
cancel
CANCEL...
.......it sends anyway.
My fingers freeze and forget how to text as I rapidly try to undo what I've just done. I can't figure out how to spell words, the caps get all screwed up, I accidentally cancel and have to start over - THREE times.
I finally text to Boy A: "Okay, most embarassing thing in the world, that was meant for my sister. Ignore it!"
at the same time I receive text from Boy A: "Ok, this is funny, I'm pretty sure you sent this to the wrong person. But pretty funny!"
I profusely apologize again and text how embarassed I am and he says no worries, "How often does that happen to anyone?" I joke about telling the story to his coworkers.
Boy A texts: "No kidding. I just know I shouldn't laugh too much when I talk to you and you are really picky."
I jokingly respond (my face is bright red and I keep saying "OhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygosh" into my pillow) and then:
Boy A's final parting text: "It's all good. I promise I won't bring this up again until after your busy season :) "

is it okay if i laugh at this? alaina, i think you're great. :)
Oh, this makes my stomach hurt just reading it! I think I've made similar blunders with texting and instant messaging... although, I don't recall one quite that sitcom-worthy. Good recovery, though.
Hey, if that can roll off of his back that easy, maybe he deserves a second look? That is too funny though, thanks for sharing!
Oh. NO. I would have DIED! It does sound like you recovered as nicely as possible. Whew!
By the way, I'll be mailing your neck pillows today. :)
i have done this before---back in the days of AOL instant messaging....oh i can remember that feeling when my stomach dropped and i felt like i might pass out! Pure panic. Oh. Boy A was nice about it though so that's good!
That is just TOO funny! Thanks for a great morning laugh!! :) I think this Boy A definitely deserves some time with you for going thru that! :)
Yes, Boy A definitely earned himself major points last night. I am definitely intrigued :)
WOW! I don't even know what I would have done! That is too crazy.
I had a friend who did that right after a date, except her text was more negative than yours. Ooops!
Maybe this guy's flattered that he was at least worthy of texting your friend about. :)
Oh no! You must have wanted to crawl into a hole and die.
At least you didn't break the poor boy's heart by writing about how wonderful this other guy was.
You know, Allen has a single brother. ;) He lives in Washington, though....
BAH! I will have to monitor my laughing around you now.
But really, I'm so so sorry, I feel your pain.
Know what will make the pain go away? It's starts with Eur and ends with ROPE.
I just re-read your post and realized that you didn't actually send it to the guy you were talking about. (Guess I failed reading comprehension in elementary school.) In that case, it could be worse, right?!
I LAUGHED OUT LOUD!!! I did that. Luckily I married him.
this is very funny...
you have shingles? that stinks, I'm sorry
