DBOWMAN: Sorry you got stood up Dru. As others have said his loss. I got stood up a couple of weeks ago, sent a total of 3 texts the final 1 ending in Goodbye and I had tried ringing but the phone just went straight to voicemail. I've picked myself up and moved on and for the past few days have been mailing another guy from another site, so far so good and we've started off with complete and utter honesty. He knows what I will and won't tolerate and he's still interested. There is someone out there for you and sooner or later you will meet. Never give up. Good things come to good people.
Thank you, DB. I'm sorry that it happened to you recently. Personally, his loss as well. And good for you for the upfront list of dos and don'ts. I won't go that far.
But I do believe that what's meant to be will be. I'm not in a hurry, nor actively seeking, but I have the doors open, and I respond to what comes my way. When it's meant to be, it will be.

Captain, should that turn out to be the case, I will come back in here and bump it to update. There is the extremely slim possibility that something could have happened to one of his parents...though he was online last night when I was expecting a confirmation call or email, so I doubt it. One never knows, though. Weirder things have happened in my world.

druidess6308: Now, that is most likely how I'll respond if he does text me or email me again.

I'm a stubborn cuss that way, I guess. I though of it...but pride got in my way. I was the last to mention it, so his turn.Nope, I'm figuring from what I've seen over the past week that he found someone more interesting. I also know that an old love of his found him on FB. That was the last email I got from him. Since that one, he's only been texting. And he has two female "friends" on the other dating site that happen to be female and live closer to him, and I've seen him online on there, but not reading emails from me lately, and he doesn't post in the forums there. As I said, I've seen it coming...just little things that have added up. No surprise...just amusement.

Hi
If I make a decision to go out, I'm going with or without anyone. I look great and feel good about myself. The effort we put into getting ready, should never be wasted. I will leave the house and my cell so I have no idea if and when he calls. I will shop, stop for a drink and I will have lunch or dinner alone. It will give me time to develope my social skills.

It will give me time to develope my social skills. druidess6308: Right now I'm in the process of being stood up for a date. I am finding that my reaction to this is to laugh, and to be thankful that I'm seeing this man's true colors so early, before my heart got involved.
His text message yesterday indicated we were still on for today. Then no further contact to confirm time and location. It was supposed to be for lunch today, and it's now noon here. Obviously, he's rude and disrespectful, which means he's not worth any more of my thought or emotional energy.
So, how do you react when someone stands you up for a date? Do you let it get you down? Mope and cry about it? Or when you set up a first date, do you have other plans made just in case s/he doesn't show? Do you laugh it off or cry it out? Have you ever stood anyone up for a date? If so, why? (And no, I haven't.)

Time hadn't been set, actually. Just a general mention of meeting for lunch. Place was set, but I don't know if he'd google it or not. I prefer to get directions to such places from the person I'm meeting.------ This thread is Archived ------

You're right. That's the first thing I would do if I was in a coma.

That would be the type of accident I'm thinking happened.

Well, I see nothing wrong with your question and worries. I simply find it fantastic that yet again, loads of people advice to send the bloke to hell, whilst they have no clue what he's up to, what the reason really is, or who he is.
If it turned out to be a long thread about what it feels like to be stood up on a date, people to share that sort of thing more, that would have been brilliant, but now it's like another posse from Mordor.

Sweetie, you're speculating. Please put your mind at ease and call him. Don't text him, call him.

Ah, see, when he didn't call, text, or email last night, nor read my last email from two days ago yet, but was online even after midnight...well, I didn't bother getting dressed up to go out. I made contingency plans for today to just relax and hang out here at home, and garden if the weather permits. It would have only taken a moment to change clothes and get ready had he called this morning.
Had I already gotten ready to go and he was supposed to pick me up and no-showed, or had he confirmed and then not shown when I was already there, I would have treated myself to lunch, and done some shopping on the way home.

he has the right to be in a coma,if hes set the same time to go on a date with 2 women without knowing.------ This thread is Archived ------

*sigh* That's what I wanted it to be. I wanted others to share their stories, and how they've reacted...which I've gotten some of, and that's been appreciated.
I wasn't trying to hang the guy. I have no worries about him, I'm sure he's just fine. You're the one who has suggested that he might be in a coma.
