No email. In person.
I know this is true, but like Vortex says, I'm pretty sure that if I decide to wait until I can call her (she's at work all day) then I'll wuss out. I have serious phone fear. I need to do SOME sort of committed move NOW that can't be taken back, or I'm afraid things will get worse.
We're being invaded by snot monsters. This can't be good.
As long as you follow up with a phone call, I think it's fine.
Sorry-- should have said "No email or phone", since I don't count the phone as in person either, and Vortex definitely has a good point about the phone fear issue.
If you think that would still carry over to in person discussion (
eta
or feel you shouldn't wait -- I got delayed in posting), then email is the best bet, but I still think face to face is generally better.
I don't know, I think at this stage in the game I'd rather be emailed, because damn, I would hate being on the receiving end of that conversation, and I'd run a giant chance of crying and hating myself and whatnot. Email is kind of cold, but, whatever, I can forward the email to my friends and mock the dude forever. Or until I feel better. I don't think F2F is required. Follow up is OK, I personally would shun it if attempted. But life goes on. Good to know sooner rather than later.
Gris, if email is the only way you have the conviction to do this a.s.a.p., then send the email.
I have to say, though, if I were the girl, I don't know if I'd want that followup phone call after the break-up email.
YAY RAQ!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEBET!!!
While I am kinda curious about how Emeline got her very own firetruck,
Em's new thing is "fire truck! fire truck!" whenever a big truck goes past our house or she sees one. Not always a fire truck, but if it's a big truck, it's a fire truck.
We have a gas station catty corner from us. They got a deliver of Bud Light yesterday around 4:00 and when the truck was leaving, he misjudged his angle and knocked over the fire hydrant. HUGE geyser of water for about an hour. After it was all over, the (very hawt) firemen were packing up their truck to go, and I asked if I could bring her over to see the truck. Naturally, they said yes and then said she could sit inside (I didn't even ask) but she was SO EXCITED. "Ooooh! Ooooh! FIRE TRUCK!!!"
She's so funny.
I think after one date, and meeting online in the first place, email is fine in this case. I know I'd rather get an email than a phone call, and being asked out on a second date just to hear it's over? No fun for anyone.
That's how I was conceived.
I have to say, though, if I were the girl, I don't know if I'd want that followup phone call after the break-up email.
true, but that's what caller ID is for :)
