Wen u 3?
I met a warm and chatty man over the weekend. It turns out that we had a lot of interests in common. We exchanged numbers and he said he'd get in touch with me the next day.
And this is what happened.
I received a text message which said: luvlie 2 meet u d other day. Wud u like 2 meet up l8r 2 go out on a d8? Wot wud u like 2 do? Can't wait 2 c u. xx
Well I'm not replying. His communication has put me right off.
Number 1: I think it's quite juvenile to ask a grown woman to go out on a date via text message.
Number 2: Why is a grown-arsed man giving me youth-talk? I'm a grown-up. Did he see me in a belly top? No. Did he hear me talking slang? No. Did I have three different hairstyles on the one head (i.e. cainrow, fringe, weave, bonding & curls)? No.
It took me 20 minutes to figure out that l8r meant LATER! For a person who has an appreciation for the written word and language, he text the wrong woman.
By the way: should I have written "he TEXT the wrong woman" or "he TEXTED the wrong woman"?
See! Text talk is not for me.

As a male of the species, I feel this mans pain. Maybe he was shy and his only form of communication was via text. Just b'cos he was immature, doesn;t mean he shouldn;t be given a chance.
I guess its food for thought because I'd think twice about texting for a date after reading what you said.

You obviously don't need a date... if it were me, I'd check him out in person and then decide. But that's just me. Bored. Lonely. In need of a date.
I should get you to give me his number, ha. ha. ha.
I can't stand Lil Mama. She makes me feel sick. Even more so after her drama with Jay Z and Alicia Keys.

Text language is all JIBBER JABBER to me. I hate it!
I agree with the Anonymos. You obviously don't need a date August! I would have overlooked the text language and gone on the date. You missed a change...MAYBE
MBD, Derby-IT ROCKS!!
You are right! Ignore him!
He's tarty, so ignore him.
I would say texted, but what do I know, I never text anyway. If you liked him the first time you met, maybe you should have overlooked his contact and tried a second time.
Marilyn of French Marilyn's Blog sent me over here.
I know what you're saying Jo, I really do. My first impression was good and my second impression was not so good so on this occasion, I have to agree with Marilyn and ignore him.
The feeling comes from my gut!

I don't like text messages. There cold and impersonal.
As for missing out on a date, don't worry about it.
Follow your gut.
