As someone who is too old for mobiles phones to have been part of her dating experience, let me tell you this is still awesomely funny! Thanks, Leenda, for pointing this one out and thanks Dating LA for sharing in the first place. I like to start my morning with a laugh!
i found this extra funny because last week I accidentally ended up upsetting someone cause they txt msg'd about meeting me in an hour (question mark). I wrote back "sure"
1/2 hr later, they called, wanting to know what my problem was. i was totally confused. finally figured out that they read my "sure" (invisible exclamation mark) and "sure" (silent "AS IF!").
txt msging is dangerous. but, yeah... guy sending "hey what's up?" always equals BOOTY CALL.
I think when people misinterpret the written word it's more a reflection on how they feel about themselves. Take that "sure" for example. Why would anyone who thinks "yeah, I'm fun to hang around with" interpret "sure" as an "as if"?
I totally agree. While mis-interpretations bug me, I found this one to be particularly revealing. But am really glad they called to ask what the hell my problem was - otherwise, I would have been waiting for them endlessly while they were sitting at home fuming at me. When they didn't show, I would have took it as rejection and everything would have gone to hell - over a stupid lack of punctuation.
I just watched this again because I love it so much. Other true things - taking 3 hours to formulate the perfect text. The drunk booty text. AND the liquid courage Jager shots. Yes, I've been there.
