The Day After...

a smooch. Is there anything more maddening? More idiot-behavior-inducing?
For real. THIS is why I wish it was possible to skip over the goddamned bullshit of the beginning stages of dating and just go right to relationship. That way, we can avoid this:

"Ok, I'm not going to text message him until he texts me."
"Why hasn't he answered my text message?"
"Should I send him a breezy text message asking about the previous 2 text messages? Like, 'Hey, my cellphone has been weird all day. Don't know if what i sent earlier came through..lol'"
"Ok, i just have to not think about it. I have to get to a 'I don't care if he text messages me' place."
"He STILL hasn't answered. What the fuck?"

Sigh. I am not a good dater.
