The Worst Typo You Can Make
Before going on a date, please, double-check before you press “send”.

It’s the first Saturday after another endless lockdown.
A Halloween party starts at 6 pm.
It’s 6.05.
The guy is late.
I took out my phone.
“Hey, are you still coming?” I type quickly.
Beep.
“Yeah, I took an Uber, already on my way!”
I start typing the reply, but unfortunately, my slender finger slips without me noticing.
The message was sent. Without double-checking what I wrote.
The next 5 minutes are gone.
No answer.
I read the message again and laughter mixed with “oh, fuck!” fly out of my mouth.
Trust me, when you aim to ask “Oh cool! How far are you?” but instead you ask “Oh cool! How fat are you?”, that’s really not the best start of the night.
