Craig and I have been flirting quite a bit over the past week, and in true teenager style it's all been done via text messages. Oh yes, romance is well and truly alive. Well, as long as it's within 160 characters. Craig is definitely putting a big fat smile on my face, and a bit of gentle flirting is just what I need.
However...
I can’t help but be put off by the way he writes his messages.
Argh. Please don't hate me for saying this.
Craig’s use of spelling and grammar (or, the lack of it) does worry me slightly. I wouldn’t go as far as saying that I’m a grammar nazi, but I just don't understand why ppl feel da nd 2 tlk in txt spk. Am I being too picky? Maybe it’s because he’s a bit younger than me? Or maybe the English language was never his strong point?
I've discovered that Craig works with his Dad in the family painting a decorating business, and from the casual Google stalking I’ve done today it looks to be very successful business too. Maybe this means he didn’t try too hard at school? I almost feel a bit shallow in being put off by grammatical errors, especially as Craig is only meant to be a bit of fun. I thought that kissing him on a night out would be the start and the end of our little liaison, but as we're now starting to get to know each other I fear that I'm looking into things too much and I’m skipping along ten steps at a time. I’ve got to calm down. We are only texting each other and this is only a bit of fun....
Is it?
