LOL at my love/hate texting relationship.

So I love texting. Especially with my iPhone. It is the best.

But then at the same time: I'm horrible at texting! I will get a text and I will be in the middle of something and I'll think to myself that I'll respond later, but then I never do. It's not that I don't want to respond, I just am so forgetful! So if you've ever been victim to my texting follies, I'm sorry. Are any of you the same way?

One thing I hate about texting is that boys think it's ok to ask you out over texting. How hard is it to actually dial my number, wait while it rings, and then leave a message? (Chances are I won't answer... I'm horrible at that, too. I always have stuff going on! I swear.) I feel like texting has just added another avenue for a guy to be a wuss. Don't get me wrong - if I'm actually dating you - you better text me! Random thoughtful texts are the best.

And lastly, I hate text lingo. Hate it. If I ever use it... slap me. Please. I enjoy correct spelling, correct grammar, and correct punctuation. I'm a texting snob, I guess.

Gold.

So today in my Book of Mormon class, my instructor, S. Michael Wilcox (LOVE him), said the funniest thing about dating. He said,

"I am convinced that "hanging out" was invented in hell."

Genius. He's right, I think.

Funny dating story for you: I went out with this boy knowing before hand that he only dated brunettes. While we were on our first date I brought it up:

Kate: So I just want to make you aware that you are on a date with a blonde. How do you feel about the fact that you are buying dinner for a girl there is no future with.

Boy: Oh, it's all good. I saw your roots, so we're fine.

No joke he said that! Just because my naturally darker blonde roots look so much darker compared with my added lighter blonde color... Sheesh!

So I'm on a third date with this same boy and he says:

Boy: Kate. I know that you're dating a lot. And I know that you know that I'm dating a lot, too. I just wanted to let you know that you're at the top of my list.

Kate: Ummmmm.... Ok. Thanks, I guess.

So funny. Needless to say, it was over by the fourth date.

p.s. to this post: I spellchecked it and it told me I spelled "blonde" wrong... Um, I've been spelling it that way for a long time now. Like, my whole lifetime. So of course I googled it, and found a yahoo answer that was kind of funny and I don't know if it's true. The person giving the answer said that you call women blonde and men blond. And it's now sometimes considered sexist to use the 'e' at the end. Weird.
