I spent New Year’s Eve with girl friends cooking and drinking champagne. We were having a blast catching up and reflecting on 2019. We talked about current and past relationships and what we were going to do differently in 2020. Midnight was quickly approaching and two of us wondered which of our mature guys would text us and who we should text…
Julie: You help me with what I’m going to write to Jim and I’ll help you with what you are going to write to Keith.Amy: It’s almost midnight, what are going to write? Maybe I won’t text him.Laura: I wouldn’t waste my time.
We’re watching Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rocking Eve, the ball drops in Times Square and we shout “Happy New Year!”
Julie: *Busy texting.*Amy: Watching the people screaming in Times Square.Laura: Let’s toast!
Julie: Looking down at her phone. Okay, Jim has vindicated himself.Amy: You are not going to believe who text’d me… he misspelled my name. *Hands her phone to Julie.*Julie: Who’s George?Amy: You know. I haven’t heard from him since we broke up in June.
Julie: *Texting Jim. Bonus points considering there’s a 3 hour time difference.*Amy: *Returning George’s text greeting.*Laura: Starts talking about the three men she has loved.
Julie: I think it’s time you start dating again.Amy: I didn’t get a text from Mark. *She’s been on six dates with him.*Laura: Talking about her last relationship.
Amy: I didn’t get a text from Keith. I’m not texting him.Laura: Good.
Amy: Why in the world would George text me?Laura: He’s lonely.
