Secret 10…I’m still peeved the dream date from 2000 didn’t ‘give me a call sometime’
Posted under 30 Secrets in 30 Days
Way, way, way back in 2000 I had a dream date to end all dream dates. It went swimmingly, there was laughter, there was banter, I was hilarious, he didn’t do too badly keeping up. Frankly, it was a triumph.
A watched phone never rings...not even if you watch it for 8 years
I spent the next day mapping out our future life together, named our children, named our dogs, checked his surname didn’t sound ridiculous with my first name and practiced my new signature a few times while I waited for him to call.
I waited, and I waited, and I waited some more. And when I was fed up waiting it dawned on me that OF COURSE he had lost my number and was probably engaged in a frantic hunt for me. So I rang him, left a message. And still he didn’t call back despite me repeating my number at least 3 times and remembering not to call him my ‘hubbie’ or anything.
Either he’s never going to call or he’s engaged in some kind of extreme version of The Rules and he’s playing really, really hard to get. My ego likes to think it’s the latter.
No matter as I have the fantastico MrSpud anyway who, thankfully, has never read The Rules and is far too little for any kind of extreme sport anyway xxx

Hello? Is that bonkers anonymous?
Okay….something terrible must have happened to that guy.
Option 1. He went sailing the day after you met. He shipwrecked and landed on a deserted island. Still pining for you……
Option 2. He fell of his bike the day after, hit his head on the sidewalk and has complete memory loss.
He will call you in 20 years when he gets his memory back and believes it´s ´the day after´.
Option 3. He was born a jerk and probably still is. I say ´Good riddance´!
Have a fabulous weekend!
I think i might have dated him the next night…
These shots are hilarious. I think Jeannette is on to something. I bet it’s option #2. Mr. Spud better watch out.
“Still waiting for a call . . .” would make a good short story title.
Too funny! I think we have all dated this mystery man!
Just popped over on recommendation from julochka at moments of clarity and am glad I did!

Worse, turns out he is married…with children. Scream….dear listeners, he loves another….
