For the first time in a long time, I have a woman asking me if I want to meet for a coffee.

I'd love to, but some fucking moron decided to dig without calling first and busted open a water main for the whole neighborhood and now I can't even take a shower. I am about to go to the store to buy a bunch of jugs of water just so I can flush the toilet.

No timeline on when it's going to be fixed, either.

Sometimes it really feels like the universe just likes to spit in my fucking face and then laugh at me.

Already did that, and didn't get a response. ๐Ÿ™„

Honestly, that's what I'm thinking since I got no response.

Honestly, it's a huge unexpected step from "meet for coffee" to "come shower in my apartment." Or depending how you worded it, you could sound like you're just trying to bail on getting together. Just because you're not lying it's not necessarily believable, especially in a dating context. Maybe try again when you're done dealing with this and clean again.

I mean, I definitely didn't jump to "let me shower in your apartment" like some suggested, that's absurd. The whole reason for starting with a coffee date is because it's low-stakes and in public so either party can bail easily if it's not a match. Women especially shouldn't be giving out their home address to strangers and letting them in as a first-time-meeting. I am also a cancer patient with limited income so driving 20 minutes to the nearest truckstop or trying to buy a daypass at a local gym were both unrealistic as well.

I just asked to reschedule and was ghosted, but yeah, I get that people usually think that's someone trying to flake out. It just sucks when you have a legitimate reason and that gets assumed.

Anyway, waters back on now.

Great! If you haven't already, shower and text her you're clean and available, although of course you understand if she's busy right now.

Hey, can't go have coffee with you because the water's been cut and I can't shower after the big dump I took. No flushing either =D.

(that's how it went in my mind)

I don't know, can you??

...and other great 90s teacher questions!

Not until you say I can!

If you're going to make people ask, don't be a dick when they do.
