As the days of second semester begin to decrease, the number of misspelled text messages and slurring drunk dials seem to increase.
We all get it at some point in our lives, the classic case of drunk dialing and drunk texting. It almost makes me wonder what life was like before cell phones. The game was completely different. Now you can request a booty call in transit from the bar to your house and most likely receive a response within seconds. I’m not sure if this technology has been more of an advantage or a form of complete embarrassment.
You are most likely to become a victim of the drunken text when you’re at the bar noticing that the majority of your friends are canoodling with their respective hook-ups while poor you are alone, jealous, annoyed and taking part in ‘fake texting.’ This is when you are typing, flipping open, staring at your phone or pretending that someone is on the other line. When you finally break down and text the person, remember these simple rules.
If you don’t receive a reply back within 10 minutes and it’s after 9 p.m. ‘- give it a rest. Don’t wonder if they lost, turned off or didn’t hear their phone ‘minus; because these things rarely happen. The truth is that they are either hooking up with someone else, don’t really like you or are passed out in a state that should not be attractive to anyone.
Sometimes, using the excuse of having one too many drinks may be the gateway to a great relationship. I know many people who have gotten a little tipsy and finally got the courage to call or text that special someone – and they are still together today. Just remember, if you’re going to dial ‘minus; don’t’ slur your words. If you’re going to text ‘minus; no typos. There is nothing worse then waking up to a list of misspelled, unreadable and ridiculous text messages in your outbox.
My advice: Erase that thing, forget last night happened and start the next day fresh.
