OMG, this is unbelievable. I'm almost thinking you're not going to believe I'm telling the truth because it's just too ridiculous.
So guy #1 and I had been trying to make a date for a few weeks now. I was traveling and he was busy so we kept missing each other. He cancelled on me once. I knew at that point in my gut I should just move on, but he sent me a really apologetic email the next day so I decided to give him another chance.
In the meantime, guy #2 is from out of town. Drops me a note end of last week saying he was going to be in LA tonight and did I have time to grab a drink. I said I had plans early that evening but could maybe meet him later. Yes, I was going to try to do two dates in one evening. Insane. Anyway, we spoke on Sunday to confirm.
This AM I get a call from guy #2. Family member (aunt I think?) is very ill and he decided to not come to LA afterall. I say "Uh huh, okay, well hope all goes well. Buh-bye."
Guy #1 calls shortly thereafter and we set a time and place. I'm at home getting ready and my phone rings 2 minutes before I'm going to leave. It's guy #1. "Uh, I have bad news. My uncle just died earlier today and I'm going to have to drive down to San Diego with mybrother." I'm speechless at this point. He says "I'm so sorry, uh, are you available next week?" I burst out in hysterical laughter and say "that's priceless. um, no, I'm pretty much tied up for the rest of my life" and hung up.
So i'm sitting here stunned beyond belief. Now in all my OLD days, I've never had a guy cancel. Now I've had 2 in the same night cancel from family member's deaths or near deaths. At LEAST come up with an original excuse will ya!

The problem with email/posts, is that sometimes the story unfolds,
so to speak.
I now better understand the situation.
I also understand your frustration on 2 last minute cancellations.
I would not say what you did was cruel, just a human reaction to
being cancelled on twice, for the same reason.
Just keep doin the best you can, that's all anyone can do really.
And again, you are the only one that has a real feel for whether
he was or was not telling the truth. I still say go with yer gut.
