I got stood up!

I was supposed to have a date last night with my "first love"...we had reconnected via mySpace a couple of months ago. We had been talking just about every night, and had made plans for him to come to see me after dropping his son off at his mom's about an hour and a half away. He had even called me as he was leaving, to say that he would be dropping his son off at 5, and would call me from there to give me an ETA at my house. He never called, he never showed up.

Now, normally, I'd give someone the benefit of the doubt, and be worrying about him, but...sadly, he has a history of doing things like this. I had told him from the get go, if he flaked out on this date, to never bother calling again...so I guess that's it.

Couple that with the first date I was supposed to go on 2 weeks ago, but the guy's brother died suddenly, so obviously we cancelled...I'm batting a thousand in the dating world. Which is nothing new...

I totally agree.

Especially in this day and age with practically every tom, dick and harry having a cell phone, email, text message etc. there is just no excuse to stand someone up you have many modes of communication to cancel the date.

It's inexcusable in my opinion and I wouldn't give someone another chance. Sorry. It's rude.

I'm really sorry to hear this. There is no excuse for this and hopefully you'll be taking him off of your friends list.
