Lose her number? Are you kidding?

We’re living in the 21st century, are we not?

So the question on deck this week is, “How does a guy lose your number let alone even have to ask for it in the first place? In this day and age, is that even possible?

With an alphabet of social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, LinkedIn, Instagram, Skype and Google Plus, it’s not too much of a strain to make contact and get it back. So we can agree this excuse is completely outdated.

Do the legwork, buddy, and you can find just about everything you wish to know about your prospective girlfriend and vise versa, not to mention old photos, new addresses and if they’ve robbed any banks lately.

It’s especially if you just sent a message on Facebook; I mean, it’s laughable, and my girlfriends and I just recently had one – a really good laugh, that is.

Let’s go to AskMen.com and see what this dude has to say on the subject:

“Yeah, no I would be careful with the I lost your number line. With today’s technology it’s not hard to find the phone number again of someone you were truly interested in, or just look at the phone bill.”

And to take it a step further, AskMen writer Jeffrey Lowes gives his “Top 10 Relationship Excuses,” beginning with“He who said the truth will set you free probably wasn’t in a relationship.”

He steps up further to describe his relationships as “minefields of potential disasters.”

Number 10: Does this dress make me look fat? His answer: “You look great in everything you wear.” (Heard that one)

Number 9: Checking out girls while you’re with your significant other is next to tightrope walking or bomb disposal: one wrong move and you’re toast. His answer: “I was just looking at what a slut she is.” (And this is what they think?)

Number 8: Valentine’s Day comes and goes and we need to remember so much stuff like sports stats, pin numbers and Simpsons quotes we just forget. Blame the commercialization of these days. His answer: “I don’t need a holiday to remind me how special you are!” (Oh please, I remember that pre-marriage days.)

Number 7: Out late with the boys or neglecting to call can lead to some major sleeping on the couch misadventures and an earful of trouble this does have a grain of truth. His answer: “I didn’t want to wake you up!”

Number 6: The girls are very body-conscious (newsflash!); so you’re out together and are faced with a mountainous pair of boobs pouring out of a low-cut shirt, voice it as a shameless display. His answer: “I’m not a breasts-guy anyways.”

Number 5: Spending time in a mall around Christmas can be as unpleasant as a shiatsu massage from a lonely sumo wrestler, so get it later for the post-holiday sale. His answer: “I didn’t want to buy you something you didn’t want.” (Gee, thanks, how inventive.)

Number 4: Use your friend your girlfriend hates as leverage. His answer: “It wasn’t my fault, (insert name) made me late.” (Is he seriously twisted?)

Number 3: Use a friend she likes as leverage. You want to break plans and spend time with the boys. His answer: “(Insert name of friend she likes) just got dumped.” (Wow, he’s good…)

Number 2: Bless her heart, she really tries to cook but the grey, gooey sludge she makes is disgusting. His answer: “I’m just a really picky eater.” (I’ve never faced that one.)

Number 1: Nothing should stand between a man and his livelihood so this little gem will get you out of just about anything. His answer: “I’ve got work to do.”

Truthfully, when reading these lame excuses – even though Mr. Lowes may think he’s fooling our flower like hearts, he’s delusional because we all can just smell these excuses and although they seem rotten, why do we even still let him think he’s a rose?

Ciao Bella
