guy friends, laughing at jokes I didn’t get about people I had never heard of . . .
    Yeah. I lasted about 5 minutes at the show and then it occurred to me, you know what, Madeline? If this isn’t even a DATE, there’s nothing rude about me faking a work emergency and getting out of here. Not that we’re bf/gf, but if Elliot doesn’t have to—or even want to :(—make me a priority, I can fake a recipe emergency.
    I’m peeved. I don’t even know why. I feel like if I was a more chill human I wouldn’t even be mad? or would I be?

    Oh. My. Lord. One day (not today, mind you), you’ll look back on this and lauuugh and lauuugh.
    Sounds like something got sacrificed last night and it wasn’t a pig . . . it was Elliot’s chances with you. We knew he was a flightypants from day 1 though, right?
    Can’t believe he hasn’t called. Please hold, calling u as soon as I get my students to the lunchroom. x

    Hey Madeline,
    Remember me? It’s Elliot. We met at a restaurant, went out, made out a couple times. Not that anyone’s counting.
    Anyway. Not sure if you got my text (well, let’s be real: has anyone in human history ever “not” actually gotten the text? As much as I’d like to think that some yet-biologically-unclassified Text Monster came in and ate my message before you read it, I’m pretty sure that’s not the case), but in case you didn’t, just wanted to say I’d love to hang out again. I thought last week was pretty great, so I guess I’m a little confused by your radio silence?
    Obviously, if you didn’t have fun/you’re no longer into this/you met the man of your dreams and are getting married in Tahiti next weekend, that’s cool too.
    Actually, if you did meet the man of your dreams, just make up something more palatable. Like, you decided you’re into chicks now. Can’t argue with that.
    â€”Elliot

    But very psyched to hear from him.

    awww. we like him again. I think you just want men to be smarter than they are, in which case yeah, he has a point: you should date women.

    Ha. I tried that for a day in college. But yeah . . . okay, i think i need to be more chill and less stringent and expand my horizons. Maybe i can start by not actively waiting for guys to
