Can I Get Your Number?

Yea, he tweeted me....

After reading one of my male friends blogs, A Bachelor’s Pad (You should check it out.), it made me think about one of my many flaws… Communicating via electronic communication (phone, email, text, social networking, etc.). Ever since I was a little girl I was not one for talking on the phone. Most of my friends had fights with their siblings on sharing the phone (pre-everybody having a cell phone and social networking). Some of my friends even had their own lines. I on the other hand, never fought with my sister over the phone. She could talk whenever she wanted. If I was on the phone and she wanted to talk, all she really had to do was ask and it was hers. Fast forward to modern day, people who are close to me have grown to accept the fact that I’m the WORST. LOL I take weeks to respond to text messages, I don’t check my voicemail so that is always full, and I probably WILL NOT answer the phone. They usually know to text me and tell me the reason for me to call them… or just wait to chat with me on G-chat, BBM, twitter DMs, etc. LOL

Where does this leave me in my pursuit? The men I meet always ask for my #. With that question, I know from jump he’s screwed, but I do hit him with the disclaimer that I am not a phone person. I won’t answer the phone when he calls. I don’t want to sit on the phone and “chitchat” with him for hours. His response is usually so how will I get to know you? Which I haven’t quite figured out the answer, but if I actually want to get to know him, it usually works its self out. LOL I’m an in-person type of communicator; most communication is non-verbal and I feel that’s “hanging out” is how we will get to know one another.

I will admit, eventually I get to the point where I will answer his phone calls and even call him. If he makes it to that point, he can tell Charlie Sheen what #winning means LOL. Men who understand my issue or even have this issue themselves (Mr. LT, I think is worse than I am. LOL) tend to stick around for a while…

To really know me is to accept me and ALL my issues.
