HoeTip: Always have a car charger with you

It's 11pmish, already two hours later than the time I told Nice Guy R that I could hangout. I pull up the correct apartments, am in front of the correct building, and my phone dies. Fine. But, dammit, I don't remember the damn unit number!

I end up knocking on four different doors, cross-faded and looking a mess mind you, two of which I get young Arabian men who answer. None of them have heard of R so what can a girl do? I head back home. 40 minutes away. He is upset when I get home and plug my phone in, only to tell him I will not be seeing him.

I really didn't mean to blow this kid off. I had only met him once, he's younger than me, and we have one mutual friend (a former coworker). Super sweet though, so I meet up with him the next night. You what's great about drinking with light weight virgins? You save your booze and your personal comfort level!

This boy has never kissed a girl, looking around at his OCD clean apartment (actual OCD, diagnosed and medicated) and the protein powder on his counter top, I decide to act. Kissing has never been a big deal to me, a moral query that has landed me in a little trouble. So I kiss him. Good, lingering kisses, to make sure his learning is off to a good start. And then I leave.

My phone dies again when I get in my car.
