I have mentioned that I’m bad at technology, but for some reason I have been particularly and painfully bad with technology when it comes to Him #1. For some reason, all of my faux pas with technology have happened with him recently… just adding to the fun. Anyways, here is the exhaustive and chronological list:
Not realizing that I purchased the wrong upgrade on the dating app and visiting his profile thinking that he couldn’t see it when he really could. Background: A lot of the dating apps are free, but you can pay for upgrades. The one I prefer will notify someone if you looked at their profile and vice-versa. You can turn it off, but then you don’t see who visits you. Alternatively, you can upgrade your account and then you can control when you want to notify someone who you visited.
I vaguely remember purchasing the upgrade, but I didn’t really look at what it did. You see, we had to reschedule the second date and I was drinking at a friend’s house. I wanted to look at his profile, but I knew that was not really appropriate. So perfect! I got this upgrade and now I can look without him knowing! Took me two weeks to realize he could see me visiting his page.
Sending him the screenshot of the break-it-off text. I took a screenshot of the break-it-off text to send another friend instead of explaining how it ended. In my haste, I… sent it to him. It was one of those moments, like forgetting an attachment on an email, where you realize your mistake immediately after you hit send. Watching the little send bar move across the screen was torture.
