stenciil Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Okay so I had a blind date tonight. I was supposed to meet someone at a restaurant at 6:30. I arrived at 6:15, parked out back and waited in my car because I wasn't even sure if he was going to show up. When I had messaged him Saturday saying 6:30 was a good time he never said anything back. I waited til 7 and when I didn't see any car pull in with a lone person in it I figured he didn't show and I left. I arrived home and he had messaged me around 8 saying: "Well I don't want to jump to conclusions since I hope nothing bad happened but I think I'm owed an explanation of why you didn't show up tonight" So I said" "I went and I waited for a half hour. I wasn't sure if we were going to meet inside or outside so I waited in my car so I could watch for when you came. Unless you got there before 6:15 or you parked out front I didn't see you. I guess we should have traded cellphone numbers. I'm really sorry that you drove all that way for nothing. I feel horrible, I should have checked inside before I left." And he replied: "Well I guess that's as good an answer as I could have hoped for. Yeah I did park out front since that's where my GPS led me. I didn't know there was a parking lot. Don't worry I'm not mad. " Do you think he still wants to talk to me? Should I say anything back to that. I don't know what to say. I feel so bad. If you have any questions or need any more information let me know.
collegekid491 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 S*** happens, fact of life. He's probably agitated, I mean getting stood up is never any fun (obviously you didn't but working with point of view here). The fact he replied to your answer shows he's still interested, although he may expect you to take the initiative for the next date. But again, if he wasn't satisfied with your answer, he either would not have responded or done so negatively.
SoulSearch_CO Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Yeah, it sounds to me like he'd still like to talk to you. I'd suggest a make-up dinner, your treat, and reschedule.
