  • yeah.

    Or you could just admit your true feelings.
    Or not get drunk.

    yes_ | 15 May '07, 23:36 | X
    • warning: the preceding post contains Crazy Talk.

      guntrip @yes_ | 16 May '07, 00:27 | X
      • Is that like crazy taxi?

        yes_ @guntrip | 16 May '07, 01:30 | X
        • whats crazy taxi?

          guntrip is right though.

          'admit your true feelings'/'not get drunk'

          i thought people only did that kind of thing on neighbours?

          dukebox @yes_ | 16 May '07, 02:00 | X
          • Crazy Taxi is a game at ATP and other video arcades

            and presumably consoles too.

            You must attempt to drive fares over some hot city in the US as quickly as possible to get as much money as possible before the time runs out.

            TheoGB @dukebox | 16 May '07, 12:24 | X
  • yes

    it must be done from time to time, i used to text my ex...really inappropriate things.

    dagsdieinhotcars | 15 May '07, 23:37 | X
    • yes , unless..

      You recently text them and your phone saves your recently used numbers. If thats the case delete those too

      the-other-staunchino @dagsdieinhotcars | 15 May '07, 23:39 | X
  • is it an ex?

    or a mate? or some random cute girl?

    dagsdieinhotcars | 15 May '07, 23:41 | X
    • Just some girl I met

      She's pretty hot, and I 'played it cool' for too long, and now she's met somebody else. Which is fine, but it kinda just makes me want her more

      So the number has been deleted, and hopefully any possibility of embarrassment has been averted

      This lesson was learnt from the benefits of deleting my ex-girlfriends number way back when. Man, that saved me a whole load of Sunday morning apologies

      dove_from_above @dagsdieinhotcars | 15 May '07, 23:44 | X
      • maybe if you bide

        your time you will have another chance? is she going out with this other person?

        dagsdieinhotcars @dove_from_above | 15 May '07, 23:47 | X
        • Not sure really

          She was just like "this is really shitty but since we met somebody else has told me they like me, and I'm not the kind of girl to string somebody along"

          As I said, this is all fine. I didn't really know her that well anyway. And besides, Martbowski said she had shit hair. And without his blessing, I'm not sure I could've ever been comfortable in the relationship

          dove_from_above @dagsdieinhotcars | 15 May '07, 23:49 | X
          • haha

            did she have shit hair? i bet she doesn't straighten.

            dagsdieinhotcars @dove_from_above | 15 May '07, 23:51 | X
            • I quite liked it

              Brunette (which I like) with a short fringe. But she's a fashion student, so that might begin to paint a better picture. I'm assuming she straightens it

              Describing her is starting to make me regret deleting her number...

              dove_from_above @dagsdieinhotcars | 15 May '07, 23:54 | X
  • aahahahah

    ive just done this. about an hour ago. its good (y)

    sarahhh | 15 May '07, 23:41 | X
  • I've done this

    about 10 times, for the same person. Doesn't quite work when you know the number off by heart. But yeah, generally a good move ;)

    bunique | 15 May '07, 23:42 | X
    • the memorising number thing

      is usually my problem too. :(

      howmuchivelied @bunique | 15 May '07, 23:50 | X
  • s'never been a problem for me

    for some reason.

    alcxxk | 15 May '07, 23:44 | X
    • Yes, but some of us aren't prepared to resort to violence

      to resolve our issues with girls

      OH YES I DID SISTA!!!!

      dove_from_above @alcxxk | 15 May '07, 23:46 | X
      • That'll be the one

        dove_from_above @Martbowski | 16 May '07, 00:20 | X
        • You're not making this any easier

          dove_from_above @Martbowski | 16 May '07, 00:23 | X
          • Sure, go for it*

            She even gave me one of those 'complimentary rejections' that girls do

            *Lie - I can't think of anything I'd rather you didn't do

            dove_from_above @Martbowski | 16 May '07, 00:25 | X
            • Or, alternatively

              you could find out who this new man is (myspace investigation, eavesdropping etc) and then begin an effective smear campaign to blacken his name

              dove_from_above @Martbowski | 16 May '07, 00:32 | X
              • Martbowski

                really is the best person on DiS!

                • Done

                  Another idea: Target a girl in her class for me to woo and I'll act like this amazing person who is thoughtful and attentive and all that bullshit and then fringe girl will see how amazing I am and then BANG she'll be mine

                  • Ah, Clarissa

                    • I don't actually want you to do this

                      (but you can find her if you just go on my myspace friends)

                      dove_from_above @Martbowski | 16 May '07, 00:41 | X

                        • I had to do this

                          then a button which was key to deleting anything off my phone got broke, so I threw it away. Extreme measures!

                          breadfan | 16 May '07, 00:24 | X
                        • If you don't have any willpower, for sure

                          But you might need the number again one day...

                          dionisio | 16 May '07, 01:07 | X
                          • ...

                            I usually lie in bed after getting pissed and type out the message of my choice, imagining how it would be taken by the recipient.

                            Then I delete it without sending. I have a safety valve.

                              saved them in drafts. I read them the next morning and sigh with relief.

                          • I had to do this a few years ago

                            and then a few months later regretted it, and couldn't get it back. It was probably a good thing.

                          • I fancy a boy lots

                            and decided to call him when drunk last night. We chatted for ages, twas nice, apart from he lives in DENMARK and it probably cost me £43574390587.

                            Think maybe I should delete his number and stick to emails.

                            all the time. Now there are no numbers on my phone that will get me into trouble if I ring them drunkenly, so its all good.

                              Where's the fun in not having to do the fearful check of sent messages the morning after.

                              • True

                                but my blood pressure is a lot lower now, so I think I done a good thing.

                                I did ring my girlfriend at 1:30 on tuesday morning. She was giving a presentation that day. I was in the doghouse for a bit.

                                • My phone's too old and crap to save sent messages

                                  The other day I had to text someone to ask them if I'd texted them. That was a bad night. It turned out I hadn't, which made my sheepishly grovelling text seem even weirder. She now thinks I'm a maniac, and with good reason.

                            but I've never done it and don't think I would.

                            My ex's number is located between my sister's and best mates on my phone (all names start with the same letter) so there is a chance I could mistakenly ring her.

                            looking at the sent messages box the morning after defines a good or bad night.... o i had my nipple torn off, lost my tooth and pretty sure i pulled a tranny but heh at least (insert name here) didnt recieve any embarrasing texts... good night!
