Awkward Turtle 1, Me 0

by LADvertising

The gig started half an hour ago and here I am at home writing on my blog.  Both my dates bailed on me leaving me with a well deserved unhappy face and no one to go with.

TwinkleToes (the preferred candidate for said date) text back at 2pm this afternoon with the devastating but expected news that: “i’m v sorry i can no longer do tonight”. I text Nasha (back up date) straight away but I’d left it too late and she’s ignored my text and phone call, in much the same way I did hers when I thought I had a chance with TwinkleToes.

In a very desperate attempt to save the day I text a girl I picked up at a library exactly a year ago and asked her if she wanted to come since my mate just bailed on me and I had a spare ticket. I haven’t spoken to her in about a year and unsurprisingly she hasn’t text back. Worth a try though and I didn’t have any dignity left to lose.

The awkward turtle has won this time but I’ve got to admit I fully deserve what happened. I mean who invites two girls to the same date? I was asking for trouble, next time I’ll invite more.
