Yep. So many young dudes ruin an opportunity by assuming the worst.
Texting is a great way and a horrible way to communicate.
I had a similar thing happen with an escort in Barcelona. I was
trying to explain that I was boarding a plane for an overnight
transatlantic trip to his town and I would text him again as
soon as I landed so we could set something up.
Somehow that got translated as I was a flake and blowing him off.
I tried to politely apologize if we misunderstood each other, but
it was too late. Not a huge loss for either of us, and in those situations
I tend to think I dodged a bullet.
It only upsets me when it’s someone I’ve heard good things about
and really wanted to meet. Even then though, it’s best to just move on,
