Not a good start...

I was doing my usual multi-tasking, IMing one boy, when a second boy called. The second boy has sent great, informative e-mails, and I feel like I have gotten to know him as much as I can through e-mail. The IMing boy never says much in his e-mails and is still very much a mystery.

Phone-boy could hear me typing, and I wasn't paying as much attention to our conversation as I needed to, so I told IM-boy that I was on the phone with someone long distance (which is true. Phone-boy lives across the river in Illinois!)

IM-boy said that was cool, and waited patiently. Occasionally I would type, "Sorry you are waiting." "I should be off shortly," (because we are setting a date right now).

Well, after awhile, he got a little snippy and said I wasn't talking to him any way. I apologized, but said I haven't talked to this person in forever (again, true).

He then did apologize and say he didn't know I was still on the phone. He asked if we could talk in an hour (through IM). I said, "Sure". I made it a point to get off the phone, and I am now waiting for him to sign back on.

I just didn't like him being snippy with me. He apologized, but I don't like the idea that he would do that without really knowing me.

But y'all know me...I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until he proves me wrong completely!
