The following is a group chat between Carly and her friends the day after the date.
Lauren [11:18am]: What’s the plan tonight party people? *several confetti emojis*
Carly [11:20am]: Uuugh it’s not even noon. I’m just trying to get through this hungover Friday without anyone calling me out on wearing the same clothes as last night.
Britt [11:21am]: Wait, last night’s clothes? You think you’re going to sneak that in there and not talk about it? Sooo I guess the date went well *wink emoji, eggplant emoji*
Michelle [11:21am]: lol slut.
Carly [11:24am]: @michelle WOW ruuuude. But also not untrue. I may have spent the night at that guys house last night *monkey covering its mouth emoji*
Lauren [11:27am]: DETAILS NOW. How’d it go? (besides obviously well enough). What’s he like? Cute? Nice? Douchey? Spill, work is so boring today.
Carly [11:32am]: Haha fiiine. So basically, it went well. He was super nervous at first and like shook my hand which was weird but it was kinda cute? But we had a few margs. On top of the two glasses of wine I had before lol. So it’s kinda blurry but he loosened up and it ended up being a pretty good time.
Michelle [11:33am]: So like, what does he do, what is he like, let’s got some actual details biiiish.
Britt [11:35am]: This is the Bumble guy, right? Or is this the guy you met at Derby last weekend?
Carly: [11:36am]: Jeez Meesh, ok, ok. He works for a tech company I’ve never heard of and I think he’s in…sales? Maybe? Those margs weren’t playing around lol. I mayy have glanced at the check and it was like $140ish and he paid like a gentleman so he’s at least not broke like Spencer.
Carly [11: 36am]: And nooo the Derby guy turned into a real creep and was texting me asking for nudes, like, before we even set up a date. Idk why guys are so rushed, like, take me on a couple dates and you’ll probably see my tits. Don’t just ask for nudes like a weirdo loool.
Britt [11:37am]: Hahahahaha. You’re the wooorst.
Lauren [11:38am]: Hahaha.
Lauren [11:38am]: Ugh fucking Spencer. Thank god you’re done with that asshole. Like, how do you sell coke for a living and are still poor? And damn $140 isn’t bad for a first date. Now we know why you went home with him lollll jk.
Morgan [11:44am]: Group chat poppinnnn today. Just finally got caught up, I’ve been in back to back meetings alllll day. *skull emoji* Glad the date went well Carls! And since no one’s asked it yet, how was the night? Was he good? *smirk emoji, monkey emoji*
Carly [11:52am]: LOL Morgan you would ask that! It was like normal first date good? Tbh, I was pretty shwasty at that point buuut it was good enough, ya know? He went down on me and didn’t have whiskey dick, so definitely good enough to do it again.
Michelle [11:53am]: Get it get it.
Lauren [11:53am]: Well that’s good! Sooo you’re already planning on seeing him again??
Carly [1:24pm]: Whoops sorry! Just saw this. Uhh I’m not sure. He seemed nice, but he’s already texted me twice today which is kinda weirding me out.
Britt [1:32pm]: Eric’s thirstyyy. Lol that is a lot though…what did he say?
Carly [1:39pm]: He texted this morning with the standard “I had a great time last night” which I didn’t respond to right away because I was busy filling you bitches in on every second of my night…but then like an hour ago he texted again with a picture of a beer saying something about him getting a lunch beer to help his hangover. Like is that weird or am I just in a cranky mood because I’m hungover? Like what do I even respond?
Morgan [1:44pm]: Hmmmm it’s kinda weird but also not. Like either one of those texts would be fine on their own, but two back to back seems clingy. Maybe just say something about you being hungover too and say you had a good time as well? Idk.
*Britt, Michelle, and Lauren have liked “hmmmm it’s kinda weird but also not. Like either….”*
Carly [4:11pm]: Ewww UPDATE. So I texted him like y’all said saying “Haha so jealous. My hangover is rough today. I had a good time too! Thanks so much for dinner!” AND LOOK WHAT HE TEXTED BACK.
Carly [4:11pm]: “Of course, thank you for the great company. And for everything after 😉 My friends and I are going out to the Saddle Rack tonight, you should come with me and we have another good night together…”
Carly [4:12pm]: Like what the fuck is that?? He’s saying he wants me to meet his friends the day after our first date? That’s really clingy right? And why does he sound like a creepy uncle talking about another good night together?
Michelle [4:15pm]: EWWW. Yeah that’s super weird.
Morgan [4:16pm]: NOPE. He sounds like that guy I “dated” who tried to introduce me to his parents after like three weeks. Not a good look.
Lauren [4:16pm]: I mean, it’s not like scary creepy, but it is sad creepy. Like he just went through a breakup and is trying to move to fast.
Carly [4:42pm]: Yeahhhh. I basically just told him that I had a good time, but I’m not looking for anything more right now. Which, like, I’m totally not after wasting three years of my life with Spencer. I just want to see what’s out there and not get dragged into a relationship right away. He responded with something douchey about “me just coming over tonight then” and I didn’t respond. Oh well, at least I got laid hahaha. Pregame at my place tonight? I just got some new vino you lushes.
Britt [4:50pm]: Carly the heartbreaker strikes again hahaha.
Lauren [4:52pm]: Hahah oh well, see ya Bumble man.
Michelle [4:56pm]: Fuck that guy. VINOOOOOO. .

idk, if a guy is dropping that kind of money AND going down on me, I wouldn’t be so quick to let that go…
Sup
Throw in a full head of hair and I’m sold.
I enjoy both the previously mentioned activities and I’ve been growing my hair out so my flow is pretty ferocious
good to finally figure out the trifecta of what women are looking for these days
The bar really isn’t that high when you consider how many terrible options women have to choose from.
How full are we talking here? Is shoulder length too much?
*vigorously raises hand* Allow me to introduce myself
Sup bih
yeeeeeah pretty much the dream situation right there
Ah, Eric. The classic back in the game rookie move of unintentionally coming off clingy. Congrats on the sex, champ, but better luck next time.
As a man, this gave me anxiety
What about as a quail?
Maybe it’s just me and this being Friday but this comment had me laughing so hard I had to close my office door.
Yeah, not blaming Carly on this one, Eric air-balled that three.
Sounds like he air balled a lay-up.
Nah he ran the break like a vet and nailed the tomahawk dunk, then tried to show off the next play and bricked the three
While the double text is weird, the text pic over a snapchat is psycho, Carly needs to relax with the flattering of herself. I’d call this more of a dude trying to get laid two nights in a row rather than trying to introduce someone to his friends.

In this situation I’d chalk this up as dude got with this girl last night and is trying to get her and friends to hang out with him and his friends at a bar on a Friday
I think that was the case. Perhaps if he had waited until later on in the evening when they were all out in the same part of town and she had initiated a ‘sup’ it would’ve played better
How is the marriage mailbag coming?
Still no questions. While my spirits are low, I’m taking it as a good sign for all PGP marriages. Or maybe no one wants advice from someone who’s been married 3 months….
Good mark for marriage there
Give us a teaser advice article so we can see what kind of advice you’re throwing out there.
I’ve got a marriage question.
How do I find a girl who’ll marry me?
do people add each other on snapchat that quickly? as in before a first date? text pic might be only way to go.
What scares me the most is that conversations like this happen all the time.
Makes me absolutely terrified to meet up with a girl from Bumble this weekend.
Since Carly also just broke up with Spencer, I’m kind of hoping she becomes another protagonist in this story.
I just don’t get why what Eric did was wrong. Granted I’m a relatively newly single female but two people interested in each other should freely communicate without having to worry about being clingy or maintaining this BS “I don’t care” persona everyone tries to have now.
I have never agreed with anything more. Preach it, Cube.
She’s just not that into him, that’s all.
I totally get that but being tured off because he seems too into her is just bizarre to me.
That’s like the number one thing that turns women off. It’s a careful game of showing interest, but not too much interest, because everyone wants what they can’t have. That’s why “the game” exists.
Sup?
Maybe I’m the weirdo here, but I don’t think that is clingy. He isn’t asking you to move in with him, just out for some drinks with a group. Why is this bad?
Exactly. I had to evaluate whether I was clingy or desperate cause I wouldn’t find this weird at all if a guy I was interested in did this…Now if I didn’t want to see the guy again I would say it’s creepy.
Idk I agree. I think it seems more like he’s just trying to get drunk and hook up again. And it’s a group invite so that’s more chill
Poor guy. Sheesh!
