A 22-year-old woman posts on Am I Overreacting after what she described as an amazing first date ends with her date accidentally sending her a text meant for a friend. The text rates her appearance using crude slang, gives her an '11 out of 10,' and describes an involuntary physical reaction to their kiss.
