SingleGirl: Ring, damn it. RING!

So…. after waiting a long 18 hours (yes, hours) sadly watching my phone and email inbox, I finally hear from Jockboy. By text.
Now what are our thoughts on this? I know some women balk at texting as a form of communication but I stand firm that texting has a fun, if not vital, place in the world of dating. Like so many things (cheese for example), it’s not good to live on it exclusively. But a well timed text can be a delightful surprise.
And so it is for me in this case. His text contains a little flirtation mentioning the lack of kiss at the end of the date. Spicey. Flirty. I like it.
…..Unless this is a sign that he’s just after me for sex?…….
So I flirt back with another text and then let it sit. After all, if he wants my time, he needs to call and line up another date. Right? Knowing he’s away over the weekend, I put his call on a mental timer of Sunday evening. And just like clockwork, late on Sunday afternoon, he calls. Damn. I AM good at this.
Of course I let it go to voicemail because I am busy and desirable and cannot always get to my phone. But when I call back, he asks about my week and moves to set up date 2. Hoorah! And he has actual IDEAS. Hooray! He mentions an outdoor concert or a game of bingo. Bingo? Thinking I misheard in that obvious way (like if someone were to tell you that they have to change the tires on their elephant this weekend), I sputter, “Ha! I thought you said BINGO!”
Him: Oh…. um, I did say bingo.
Me: Oh! Oh, you DID. Oh… oh my gosh. You know what, that is hilarious but in a good way.
So a few emails later and we’re on the calendar for dinner and bingo. I’m nervous and excited.
And what will I wear……..?
