I was super stoked to finally me Cheeky. We had exchanged some lovely emails and had a decent phone conversation. However, our date happen to fall on a week that my life was turned upside down at work. I was exhausted at the end of the day. Although excited to meet him, I was pooped. My mistake was deciding to send out a tweet telling the Twitter world just how i felt. Oh yes, I tweet. Occasionally, but I've been more active the last month or so. I figure Facebook doesn't want to hear what Im doing all the time. But Twitter.. thats what its made for!
Mid date we got into a discussion about Facebook, Twitter, etc. After Cheeky confessed his slight obsession with the site, I admitted I too indulged in the site occasionally. BIG MISTAKE. As he pulled out his phone to 'follow' me, I got a flash of my latest tweet. "Totally not in the mood for a first date right now. Im exhausted and would much rather go home and sleep." Panicked, I realized there was no going back. He was in and was going to see it. I giggled with embarrassment and explained what he was about to see. And made sure he knew that I was having a fabulous time and was happy I came. He laughed and seem to take it well. We were a few drinks in by now.
Well Twitter ended up backfiring. Its bad enough trying to get a guy to actually call you on the phone and not just text or email. And I'll give Cheeky credit, he did call to set up the date. However, basically all of our communication after the date was on Twitter. Really? This is what the world has come to? So sad that I am even writing about this right now. Anyway, the night was full of laughs. But the only action I got after that was a couple tweets @cheeese. I guess you never know. I had a really great time, but couldn't compete with the Twitterverse!
