Texting

I met a girl online a few weeks ago. We texted back & forth a few times, even spoke on the phone once or twice. We arranged our first date via text message.

But on the day of the date, she texted me saying she had fallen and sprained her ankle and wouldn’t be able to make it. We rescheduled the date for a few weeks later, after her ankle had healed. But on the day of the make-up date, she didn’t pick up her phone and never answered my text.

Just like that, it was over. We never actually met. Our entire “relationship” took place via e-mails and text messages. I think that will be an increasingly more common phenomenon in the near future.

People are basically cowards at heart, and technology now allows people to send their bad news & break-ups electronically without ever having to see the other person face to face.
