The horrors of cell phone dating

Technology sure can mess up your life. Like cell phones. Mine totally screwed up my plans for the school dance on Friday!
What happened is that I wanted to ask my friend Alex to the dance. But I’m kinda shy about stuff like that — even though Alex is just a friend — so I sent him a text message asking if he wanted to go. That’s way easier than asking F2F in case you get turned down. It doesn’t feel so bad. But I’ve got this fancy next-gen phone that my dad brought home to review. And I like don’t really know how to use it that well.
So what do I do but text the wrong person by accident! Turns out that my older friend Zander got the message and he thinks I asked him out. And he texted back and said yes!
Me going out with an older guy. Yikes! Well I guess I have to go huh? But I’ve got to keep it secret from my parents. I hope Zander doesn’t think it’s a “date”. This is bad at so many levels. But I want to go to the dance.
Have you ever done something tech-stupid like that?
Sorry Alex!! Would you have said yes? 
The question is.....would you WANT to read a comic book that featured a female superhero that was beautiful, tough, funny....and ...

So I guess I should report on my “accidental date” with Zander. I told him the truth about really meaning to text Alex, and Zander said it must’ve been a “Freudian slip” — which means that I really did want to go to the dance with him! Sorry Z! You’re more like my uncle than a potential boyfriend.
But it was cool. We had a nice time at the dance until he dumped me for some hottie he met getting drinks. So I hung out with Alex after all.
