Ugh… text messaging

Sometimes text messaging is the bane of my existence (yes, yes, I’m being overdramatic!)

So David and I had been texting pretty regularly since last Wednesday. He was usually the one initiating the texts, but either way it was pretty regular. We texted back and forth on Monday and Tuesday, I had offered for us to meet on Monday night, but he was out of town on business, so we scheduled it for Friday evening and he told me we’d confirm on Thursday. Wednesday he texted me at the beginning of the evening saying he was back in town, that he was going to pick up his nephews at school and would be spending the evening with them. I responded to the effect of so a quiet evening then? and that my evening was lining up to be sushi with a friend from Vancouver. This is the last news I got from him. Last night I texted saying so tomorrow is Friday… no response. About an hour ago I got annoyed and texted : having gotten no confirmation or news from you, should I plan something else for my evening?

I have a lot of trouble believing that in this day and age, anyone is away from their phone for more than 24 hours. I understand being busy and not having time to text back and forth, but does it really take a ton of time to tell someone you’ll get back to them?

This may end up being nothing, but it’s frustrating!

I’ll give him until the end of business, and then I’ll make other plans, ut this is already a bit of a strike against him.

Too bad, I was actually looking forward to meeting him.
