A Breakdown Of What Happens When The Dude-You've-Been-Texting Cancels Last Minute (via Text)

You've already told everyone at work about your date. You're already dressed and 90% of your make-up is done. You've only had two sips of wine. Then, you hear your phone vibrate..."Hey, I'm sorry, but [insert something about work(ing late)], reschedule?" The following ensues ...

1. Curse

or at least pretend to

2. Down that glass of wine

3. Take bra/underwear/socks off

4. Text your top three best friends

(with an image of the text and many angry/frustrated/sad face emojis)

5. Pour another glass of wine and browse seamless

Obviously, since someone cancelled dinner (cocktails with olives count)!

6. Stare at the text and contemplate how honest you feel like being

Who are you kidding, you know you're just going to reply with something polite

7. The delivery man arrives with your sushi, plop down on the couch and turn on Sex and the City

8. Nod your head in agreement with Carrie--Forget you know my name!

At this point, you're about half way done with that bottle and contemplating moving to Paris (except, we all know how well that goes...)

9. Consider all the advice your friends have given you

10. Type "Sure." and hit SEND

Pat yourself on the back. What a polite, professional, mature, and sufficiently passive aggressive response!!
