mrrnice2 157005 Report post Posted May 15, 2014 The other night I had a date - well, sort of a date, well, I think it was a date. It was not a paid date or paid social time. And I was a little bit nervous. My personal adviser told me to iron my shirt. I ironed my shirt. I was told to wear presentable pants and shoes. I wore presentable pants and shoes. My adviser told me to get her flowers. I got her a lovely bouquet. I had tickets for a special event at the theater and because she and I live on opposite sides of Charlottetown she suggested that we just meet a half hour ahead of the show near the box office, so that was fine and I was there of course fifteen minutes before the appointed time. I received a text from her saying that she was delayed and would be late but that she would get there when she could find a parking place. I quickly texted back saying that when you park, let me know and I will meet you. A few minutes later there was no response so I looked at my text. Fuck. Auto-correct at work. What I actually wrote her was, "When you oral, let me know and I will meet you." Lovely!!!! Oh, shit, So I really quickly wrote back and said, "Oops. That was supposed to say, I REALLY mean park." Push send. Oh shit, what went was, "I REALLY mean oral." Oh fuck. Very slowly, I typed one letter at a time. I told her to stop laughing. We had a good time, and she liked the flowers. :) There was no oral. 23 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest **cely***r***ne Report post Posted May 17, 2014 This is wonderful news! What a lovely thing to read, it put a smile on my face for sure! Auto correct can definitely be a great ice breaker though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boomer 33202 Report post Posted May 17, 2014 Yea, Some of these smart devices have a nasty habit of learning from your earlier use. With an inadvertent error like that you either get a slap in the face or lucky. Good luck with the dating. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katherine of Halifax 113932 Report post Posted May 17, 2014 Now that is just a lovely tale of what could be a good start to a great friendship . It also sounds like you did everything just right . That advisor you have sounds smart . Just remember most women love flowers and hate wrenches and you will be fine . I'd say have her over often to see all your beautiful flowers . Dinner in your dining room surrounded by beauty . MN2 it may not take long to show her the walk in closet ! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
