A Friend I Have Yet To Meet

Phone rang. Picked up phone. Looked at number. Never heard of number. Opened phone anyway.
Me: Hello?
Them: Hello?
Me: (*No, I just said that, you can't repeat what I say, I say hello because I don't know who you are and I am waiting for you to introduce yourself. You can't repeat what I just said like your unsure of who you're talking to. You called me. Idiot.*)
Pause.
Them: Hello?
Me: (*You already said that.*)
Me: Hello?
Them: Um, who is this?
Me: (*No, you called me, I'm suppose to be the one asking that question.*)
Me: (*Recited name?*)
Me: (*Like I'm not sure if that's what it is. Idiot.*)
Them: Oh, I think I have the wrong number.
Me: Who are you?
Them: Is Dave there?
Me: No, who are you?
Pause.
Me: (*I'm waaaiiitttiiiinnnnggg.*)
Phone: (*goes dead*)
Me: (*redials number*)
Phone: (*rings*)
Them: Hello?
Me: This is Dave.
Them: Um . . . Dave?
Me: Yup.
Them: Dave -------
Me: Yup.
Them: Who would you like to speak with?
Me: You.
Them: I think you have the wrong number.
Me: Nope.
Phone: (*goes dead*)
Me: (*giggle*)
Me: (*redials number*)
Phone: (*rings*)
Phone: (*continues ringing*)
Answering Machine: Leave a message!
Me: Hey, this is Dave. I just wanted to let you know that I think it would be better if we were just friends. K? Sorry to have to tell you this over the phone. Call me.
Me: (*giggle, feeling like a total creeper*)
