That was awkward

The other day I made a phone call, and got an automated message. The voice asked me to enter the phone number I was trying to contact. I began to enter the number and accidentally misdialed. I pushed # thinking that would perhaps allow me to start over. Instead, the voice said "thank you."

I think I inadvertently flirted with the automated voice.

I mean, we've crossed paths a few times and she sounds nice and everything, but I barely know her. I hope she didn't get the wrong impression. I'm afraid I'm sending mixed signals.

It's not her, it's me. I'm just not ready for that kind of commitment, and I'd rather keep the relationship professional. That's reasonable, isn't it?

I hope she takes it well. She's always been so polite.

Next time I'll try the * key.
