Rant: women

[Leroy]

Man, damn sorry to hear that Cronos.

This wasn't worthy of a new thread, but it was entertaining all the same.

Got a text last night at about 1230 from a lovely lass. Happened to be the dirtiest sex text I've ever received, minus a few drunken misspellings (which added to its awesomeness). Unfortunately for me, the lass in question is currently shagging a buddy of mine who shares my first name. Lass and I have zero chemistry, no flirting, etc, so it was definitely intended for the other guy.

Nonetheless it was awesome. I didn't know how to respond, as I was sober and am actually somewhat of a nice guy sometimes, so I didn't immediately respond with demands of half-on lingerie pics. My text back of "wrong Sean but thanks all the same!" prompted a response a good hour later (didn't get it till thismorning) drunkenly begging apologies and secrecy and oh please don't tell other Sean and etc and onward.

So of course I will joke with him tonight, and tell a bunch of Cards fans online.

Tell us what the text said already!

I'm sorry, Cronos. That is a raw deal. Hopefully you either didn't respond or responded with some witty retort.

Tell us what the text said already!

"Hey, hope you've had a good week. I wanted to let you know that I've been thinking and I don't feel that we are a good fit but I have really enjoyed getting to know you. Take care. "

---sent her a txt, basically saying "Umm...what?"


"We were dating and getting to know each other...I'm just not feeling the romantic chemistry. Sorry."


I mean, jesus. Was the [expletive] smiley really necessary?

I texted her back basically saying "Funny, if I weren't feeling romantic chemistry for someone, I wouldn't introduce them to all of my closest friends early on, take a roadtrip out of state over a weekend, [expletive] the person and spend a couple nights in bed with them, change plans at the last second to go to a jazz club on Valentine's day and then lie (I have to believe) about getting strep two hours before we were supposed to meet when she had zero symptoms over the previous weekend", etc.

[expletive] her. Thanks everyone for the support and good wishes. I appreciate it.

Was the [expletive] smiley really necessary?

I thought that was a particularly nice touch. "Hey, sorry it's not working. Be happy that I've just very obviously made you unhappy!"

Anyway, sorry to hear about it, Cronos.

Here's how the whole "add a smiley to horrifying news" thing can work in other contexts.

...sorry Cronos, I actually talking to Maclowery in response to the dirty text he received.

[thrill]

Cronos, turn her on to GRB, we'll get addicted to our witty and informative discussions and then BAM! BANHAMMER!

I'll also use her registration password to try and access her various bank accounts/credit cards/etc.

[Cronos]

Oops, Kyle, haha. Nevermind.

Thanks for the laugh, JL. I did and needed it.

Jesus. Sometimes I just hate people, and want to throw away my iphone and move to a yurt on a hilltop somewhere far far away. Cronos, this lady makes me want to do just that. Anyone who would break up over text message will not have a real relationship until they grow the [expletive] up. You have my sympathy as you mend, but you're gonna be just fine. I only feel sorry for her.
