I have a younger sister who is recently back into the dating scene...she was supposed to have her second date with someone last night...it didn't happen...

He was watching the football game with his brother and some buddies and i guess it got out of hand...and well as a result, he woke up with a hangover this morning calling and begging her to forgive him...

I said to her, tell him his apology is accepted but you are not interested in dating someone who could not even pick up the phone out of sheer decency to tell you plans had changed...AND if he could pull a stunt like that on your second date...well what have you got to look forward to in six months....

My older sister disagrees...she thinks he's apologized...he's admitted he made a BIG mistake and that he was inconsiderate...and that she should give him another chance...

What do you all think?

(I told them i would be asking you all for your opinion...)

I agree with you wikked...Sure he apologized and admitted he made a big mistake...until the next time!!!!!!

I say..see ya...he obviously is more interested in his own activities rather than seriously dating anyone!!!!!!!!

Sounds to me like hanging with the boys and getting drunk were more important to him than your sister was.

I believe that if you could put yourself in a similar situation and the outcome be similar then by all means forgive. If you can look at yourself honestly and think that would never happen to you, then it is appropriate to say, moving on maybe the best bet.

We never know what fate holds for us.

Best of luck to you and your sisters!!!

Personally I would avoid giving advise.
Could confuse her more hearing both her
sisters giving different opinions. I have been
the one to give advise to my brothers in the
past. In the end they were mad at me for trying
to help. Always a little touchy when it comes to
matters of the heart. Nice to see you, Wikked.
Hope all turns out for the best.

Seeing as how they've only been out once, there's no real reason to expect much from each other.

That being said... if it were me, I'd watch to see if this was the beginning of a trend.

I agree completely with you, Wikked.thumbs up "Got out of hand" has to be one the lamest excuses ever. If it happened later in their relationship, that's one thing, but on the second date? Unacceptable.reindeer

I agree with you too, wikkid. If he had made the phone before the date then maybe it could be excused but it shows he would rather be out with his buddies, drinking, watching the game than with her. He knew he had the date with her so he should have shown more consideration. If i had a date that night, i wouldnt have gone drinking with my buddies that day. I never drink during the day anyway but he could have at least stayed sober and watched the game and then taken her out that night. You don't have to get drunk to have fun!

I'm with the majority of the women on this. If drinking with his buddies is more important than a second date...well, it only goes downhill from there!

Thanks everyone!hug

It's only there second date, and i know she really cares for this person, but i say get out of it before you're so immersed in it that you'll forgive anything, and it becomes a vicious cycle...

She was a "sports widow" to her ex-husband, i don't want to see her do that again...sports is one thing, but not at the expense of your relationship....

Well he should have rang to let her know. Chances are he might do this again if he feels she was so understanding last time. He should be dumped on the curb. I like my sport as much as any man but if a date clashes with it I try to reschedule for later in the evening and if that cant be done I go ahead with the date.

Hope she makes the right decision.

ohhhhh, this is just my personal opinion ...

In a world where quick communication is like .5 seconds away, there is little excuse for not calling.... and far less excuse for doing it 12 hours fter the fact. ... waste 12 hours of my life will ya ...very mad

Second chance ... ya I think thats reasonable, but if they do again, the words good fricken riddance come to mind. Maybe he had a brain cramp but if I knew I had a date, ignored that knowledge and being considerate enough to make a simple phone call ... well I'd expect hellfire and deserve it.

Why is people are on time, even early for doctor appointments, but when it comes to treating others time with respect they they ignore it?

Why ... they need the doctor for themselves ...its also the reason they choose themselves when making a decison to do what they want and to ignore that you're waitin for them ...frustrated selfish ...if your daughter let's this go then she is askin for it to happen again. Second chance, sure, I'm like that ... cos maybe he/she had a brain cramp ... but twice, if it happens again, well they are a brain cramp.

.......Until he gets Drunk on another occasion,errr...... I mean things get out of hand?
A 'NormalDrinker' does not get drunk with his Buddies when he promised to be on a Date with a Lady.
Best thing for her is to run and pray:"Feet don't Fail Me Now"!wave
