SIGH.... Well...

I was stood up, blown off or whatever you want to call it yet again. I figured as much come Thursday and I didn't hear from the guy. He hadn't called since Monday evening and although I wasn't that excited about the date, atleast it was a date. I'm starting to think there is something seriously wrong with me. Maybe I'm just too old to date. I don't know what it is.
Sounds like lots of other people had a good weekend.

I'm sorry you were stood up. But, it probably means he wasn't right for you, anyhow. So, in the end you saved yourself some time getting to know him.
I was starting to think there was something wrong with me, too. I think after a certain amount of time dating, or trying to date, we all go through that- the "why can't I find a wonderful person if everyone else can and I'm nice and smart and funny and attractive and it isn't fair that my mean neighbor across the street has a man and I don't want her man but it just doesn't make any sense since I can't find one and I think I'm going to buy a couple of cats since obviously I should just give up on dating and men altogether" but it is just a phase, and when you DO find the one for you you'll be more appreciative than you would have been otherwise.
Hang in there, as this too will pass. It's just not your time yet, but that doesn't mean that you should give up or stop dating. Certainly, give it a break if you'd like, but remember that even Cinderella had to leave her comfort zone in order to find Prince Charming.
In order to truly enjoy the sweet, we have to experience the sour.

Don't feel bad, the musician I just met dissappered on me too. I just meet another single dad, but thus far he has yet to impress me or really make any great efforts for us to get together, so I'm not too optomistic there either.
No, your'e not too old to date! It just gets harder at our stage in life as the pool is really small and we get pickier.
I'm just going to do my own thing and if someone nice comes along-great if not, I'm ok with it to. Who needs the agrivation anyway!
Hugs and remember tomorrow's another day!
Oh MY this sounds so much like me its scary............... I am not on one of those dating services.... just from people finding me on here or getting fixed up with friends but never fails seems like I either get stood up or they are just absolutely horrible guys..... I too am ready to stop looking and put everyone else on "ignore" on my yahoo....lol
I have been singal for 10 years now but I am almost to the point that I would rather be alone then have to deal with being stood up... it does make you feel like there is something wrong with me.
That is a crazy thing for sure. But you never know - maybe he forgot or something came up. Being stood up is not fun for sure - that is so disappointing. But I doubt if it has anything to do with you.
The thing is that guys have special wires to be tripped - they are either into you or they are not. You cannot control how they perceive you or what they want - it has nothing to do with you really - you just have to wait for the right guy.
It only takes one guy. But a bucket load of patience to find him.
Good luck and keep us posted, okay?
I'm sorry you are having to deal with this! But please don't let it be a reflection on you or your worth. The "standing up" is a reflection on HIM because HE didn't call to cancel if he needed to cancel. It's not because of something you did.
And if he is going to be THIS WAY... then be glad that you might not hear from him again. You deserve to have a date/partner who will treat you with respect. And who will treat you and your time like it's something worthwhile to have, and not just chuck it out the window by doing a 'stand up'. He treats you this way, then he is no longer worth YOUR time or energy! Forget him! Next!
Hang in there... like the others have said- all it takes is ONE man to step up and be a right fit. And don't settle for 'just good enough' if they can't be a REAL MAN and act like one.

Thanks to everyone for your feed back. It just gets old getting stood up or having men just dissapear on you all the time. I really didn't have much interest in him to start with so I don't know why it even bothered me. I guess it would just be nice to find someone with some manners. So far that has been a little hard to come by. Oh well live and learn.
