Ever Been Stood Up?@!

Ladies I really need your opinion.....So thought I met a great guy on Match. We chatted back and forth a bit online, he quickly suggested meeting, and I supplied my number to set things up. He called and we made plans to meet on Friday, but he called on Thursday to cancel because of work obligations. Yeah, I thought it was lame too, but he sounded sincere when he said he really wanted to meet me. So, I go out of town for a bit, return, and call him on Tuesday to "see what's up". He suggests we go out on Friday to catch his friend in a play. He says he'll call with the show time. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday afternoon, and Friday evening rolls around and still no call. Despite my pride and instinct, I text "are we still on on?" at 6:30pm, hoping Mr. Hansom will spontaneously recover and call. He didn't. I can't figure it out? He seemed interested, and I was too. If he changed his mind, or something better came along, WHY NOT CALL?! Has this happened to anyone else?

Oh, yeah, and I'm sure it will happen again, unfortunately!

All you can do is shake your head and say "next"...it's very frustrating, but trying to figure out why these guys do what they do is just going to give you grey hairs ;-).

I guess he just wasnt that interested or extremely busy and fogot?? He should have at least called.

Uh oh, I have a confession. I got a wakeup call after I read your post. There is this guy I talked to on the phone last week. We agreed *tentatively* to go out tonight (sunday). I told him work was so hectic and I am not sure if I will be up to it honestly, nothing personal on him, but we'd touch base on it again during the week. Well, he did try to contact me a couple times this week. I ignored him as I was in the midst of some stressful stuff..I guess I was selective with my attention. Today is the day, sunday....eeeeekkk. I have seriously been extremely busy, not laid back this week. I guess I should call him!! I feel bad. I really would like to meet him at some point, just not today. I feel terrible now.

Be thankful to this guy. He has done you a huge favor by showing you that he is an unreliable flake before you wasted a single moment of your time with him. Shake your head, delete his emails, block him, and move on.
