Hell to the No
You are awesome. I thought that this was a weird messed-up SD guy thing when I first moved here from San Francisco a few years ago, where the men seemed to...well...try to impress a woman(!)...but I think it's sadly a lame trend everywhere. The good dudes who have their s*&^ together definitely call, plan & aim to woo :) The text-daters may be nice dudes, but they clearly are used to women with damn low expectations! ...don't be one of them! My fave was a guy who texted me for an entire freakin' month with things like "hey" "what u up to" "where are you" whatsup" ...then I called him out & told him to ask me on a real date or delete my number. So he texted (ha) & asked me out to dinner. an hour before the date he texted & asked what i wanted to do... really? you can't plan one date? or call? and then men wonder why all the women they date in SD are so wacky... stop complainin' & simply be a man if you want a real woman...duh!— April 8, 2010 3:35 a.m.
