Oh my god, why am I the most awkward, awkward person on the entire face of the planet?

So that girl Chelsea gave me her number last night and told me to call her today so we could work out plans to hang out, because she's going to be in the vicinity of my place tonight, and so I called her earlier, blah blah blah. Anyway, she just called me to say she'll be free in about an hour, and what do I say?

I thanked her for calling me back.

(And then immediately followed up with, "Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I don't know why I'm making things unnecessarily awkward. Wow," because I am just that smooth. Augh.)

Why. Why why why. Oh my god I don't know why I open my mouth sometimes. Watch, she'll leave tonight and I'll probably frigging thank her for making out with me, too.

Aww, I don't think it's awkward. I think it's charming. I've definitely thanked people for calling me back before, so don't even sweat it.

I agree, and call center habits die hard.

YES! This exactly. I am always so grateful when people pick up the phone at work. (Stupid outbound calls.) I have to suppress the urge to thank my boyfriend for his time when I say goodbye now.

Also, I'm throwing in another vote for charming. Don't worry!

lol, if it was that big of a deal you wouldn't be getting the chance to make out with her later now, would you?

I'm still prone to answering the phone with, "Hello, this is Layla Aldousany - how may I help you?" so I agree - it's hard to break phone-rituals.

That said, I think folks should thank one another for make-outs. I think it would be funny. And kinda charming.
