( sms >> unknown ) Hey, don’t worry about it. ( sms >> unknown ) And yeah. I’m Eric. This is… Blaine? Trent told me about you. ( sms >> unknown ) Trust me, I know how hard it can be to get a date when you’re gay at all. Don’t be too hard on yourself. 😊
( mssg » eric | sent ) He did? What did he say? I warn you, Trent can over-exaggerate a little. By “a little”, I mean not “a little” at all. Like a ton. ( mssg » eric | sent ) I heard you were a great guy and I’ve been being crazy for not texting you when I told him I would for two weeks. I guess better than never? ( mssg » eric | sent ) You know? I didn’t mean that how rereading that made it sound in my head. ( mssg » eric | sent ) I think it’s even harder when I’m not “putting myself out there” as I’ve been told on repeat. But, thank you, I’ll try not to be. 😊
( sms >> unknown ) It’s not like being an eccentric, lonely old guy who collects cats and smells funny is the WORST thing a guy can be. ( sms >> unknown ) Also, don’t freak out but I think you might have the wrong number ?? ( sms >> unknown ) If it’s any consolation, I’m sure you’re definitely date material. Whoever Trent’s trying to get you to text seems like a lucky guy.
( mssg » wrong # | sent ) Oh no. ( mssg » wrong # | sent ) Um. Hey. Hi. ( mssg » wrong # | sent ) I’m sorry. Is this Eric? ( mssg » wrong # | sent ) Before you answer that? It was sweet of you to try to make me feel better about the crazy old cat guy comment. Unfortunately, Trent is probably right but I’m not going to let him get away with saying it outloud. Anyone who thinks I might be date material after that certainly deserves a huge thanks.
( mssg » wrong # | sent ) I appreciate the work you’re doing playing Cupid, Trent. It’s very sweet and I know you’re trying to help. ( mssg » wrong # | sent ) Texting a random stranger though? What am I supposed to say? “Hey? My friend Trent says you and I would look good together and might have some things in common? Plus, it’s been forever since I’ve been on a date. He’s worried I might end up becoming some eccentric, lonely old guy who collects cats and smells funny if I don’t soon?” ( mssg » wrong # | sent ) Which, by the way, was extremely rude. You’re lucky I like you.
