On Wednesday last week, I scrolled through my phone to find the guy I had gone home with the night of NYC Pride. I saw a 917 number that I had called at 10:43 and 11:57, both cancelled. . o O (I would have been at XES by 11:57, so it must be Pride Boy’s number (since the only other unidentified call from that night was a 718 number… ew!). But just in case it’s not, I’ll play it a little ambiguously.)
Me: Hey, it’s Kareem… From Pride. Remember me? ;-)
I hate emoticons, but I feel like it softens the we-hooked-up-and-I-haven’t-texted-you-a-week-and-a-half blow.
Him: Nah I don’t but whaddup?
. o O (Whaddup? That doesn’t quite sound like Pride Boy)
Me: Ha! This is Pride Boy, right?
Him: No, not Pride Boy my name is adam..
. o O (Shit! Wrong number. But Adam def sounds familiar.)
Me: Oh my. This is awkward. Did you meet a tall black guy with dreds in a ponytail on Pride Sunday? I dialed your number.
Him: D. Kareem [last name]?
Me: That’d be I. I do remember meeting an Adam. How exactly did we meet? I tend to forget things after the 8th drink.
Him: Yes, I’m Adam Benjamin Irby, the blogger. Lol
Him: I thought it was some booty call. Lol
Me: That makes SO much more sense! Haha!
I really don't remember getting his number... or telling him my last name, but whatevs.
So where the fuck was Pride Boy’s number?! Well, I remembered him saying he promoted for a party (that I’d never been to... in fact, I think it's straight), so I figured his name would be on the website.
I emailed him: Hey, sorry to be uber-creepy (i.e., finding you on Facebook), but I couldn’t find your number, and your google-ability is quite high. Anyway, I’d definitely like to get together again. I’m heading out of town for the weekend, but maybe next week?
An hour: no response. 2 hours: no response. In the morning: no response. But around 5:30 the next day, he finally wrote: Of course I remember you. I lost my phone two days later and with it your number. Give me a call when you get back. Would love to hang out as well.
