Uneasy Face Begins

It began as most things do, a randomly sent text message received at a time of whimsical merriment. This accidental incident was an opportunity not to be taken lightly, and thus a blog had to be formed.

Message received:
Hi my dear how are u doing havent hear from u are ok how your date call me when u have time ok

What's this, a sudden inquiry about a date from an unknown number? Well now this can only end in disaster if not handled just right.

Message sent:
Didnt go so well, dont think shes gonna make it :/

Nothing says 'you have the wrong number' like a comment implying something terrible has happened. And if this vague reply wasn't enough then the uneasy face following it should certainly seal the deal.

Message received:
What u mean are u ok

This person is now concerned that this date of mine took a turn for the worst. Not wanting to cause unnecessary worry in a stranger a reassuring reply had to be sent immediately.

Message sent:
Im a little burnt and the pasta was too hot but overall great :/

There, now everything is explained. It was a simple miscommunication, turns out everything is fine apart from an ambiguous pasta burn. Better toss an uneasy face in there just to make sure the message is clear. Perfect.

Oops! Im so sorry, I thought you were my friend paul :/

Hearing no further reply I figured it'd be best to end this on good terms. I send a comment that shows that a miscommunication has taken place with an apology for any emotional trauma I may have caused. Now I've set things right and can sleep with a clean conscience.

Some part of me had regrets that I ended something that might have been truly special. I cut short what could have been a long and ridiculous journey of words between strangers. But it was over now, I did what had to be done.

Little did I know, this journey had only just begun. :/
