I've made this mistake before. I just wasn't expecting to be surprised by it again so soon (if three years can be considered, "soon"). In my phone are many people's screen names - not their real names - and so yesterday I found
mr_dowg in my phone listed as such, complete with a picture I have of him set as a ringtone avatar. I posted to the Anna Texas Community Forum that I was going to be in town this weekend, but knowing he's not an avid reader of the forum and not wanting to miss him, I texted him my intentions and suggested we hook up.I wasn't outright rejected by Delorean, the girl at the other end of the number for my suggestion, but she was interested in first knowing who I was. This caused me brief, but intense confusion. First at the discovery that I had two numbers in my phone for Mr. Dowg, one of which was apparently no longer his - and perhaps more importantly, what Delorean thought I meant about hooking up. Getting laid; intercourse - making sweet love down by the fire.
In my youth, it was considered impolite to sleep with someone without first knowing their name. I guess some things never change.
And Delorean, I hope you find that special someone this weekend!
Or at least a willing participant.
