RonSwanson Posted November 23, 2017 Posted November 23, 2017 Hey forum, would appreciate some advice on this one. This would've be the 5th date tonight but she cancelled this morning at the start of her work shift and her text was: "I ****ed up with work - double booked myself and have to work the night shift tonight. So that cancels our plans, sorry!". I replied with: "Ohh damn, would you like to try for tomorrow night instead?" What are my chances here? It seems other advice suggests to play it cool and let her reschedule another time.

If you are in another part of the world, I got nothing. I really would not worry about it. If she had to work, then she may have had to work. Incidentally I have to work tonight and I'd rather not but I drew the short straw. So it is not out of the realm of possibility.

Thanks She's from Canada, but we're in NZ so I suggested we make pumpkin pie for our date tonight as she has fond childhood memories of it. Thought it would be a killer date idea.
CautiouslyOptimistic Posted November 23, 2017 Posted November 23, 2017 I'm not sure why you don't just believe her? 2
smackie9 Posted November 23, 2017 Posted November 23, 2017 I'm not sure why you don't just believe her? I know, eh..... Too many Woody Alans on this site.
Author RonSwanson Posted November 23, 2017 Author Posted November 23, 2017 I know, eh..... Too many Woody Alans on this site. I do believe here. My concern is if she was interested would she not offer another time? (My dating game is quite rusty and i do like this one). Woody Alan..?? 1
Highndry Posted November 23, 2017 Posted November 23, 2017 I do believe here. My concern is if she was interested would she not offer another time? (My dating game is quite rusty and i do like this one). Woody Alan..?? Yeah, Woody Allen? That's cold.

Author RonSwanson Posted November 23, 2017 Author Posted November 23, 2017 She came back and said "Sure :)" then Asked If I wanted to go to Cirque du Soleil with her. So all is well. Just me getting in my head too much Something I'm working on. Appreciate your help though 1
Author RonSwanson Posted November 23, 2017 Author Posted November 23, 2017 Well, is she still working? What does she do? Yeah, shes working today and works at the hospital. Be ended up rescheduling for tomorrow. 2
Author RonSwanson Posted November 23, 2017 Author Posted November 23, 2017 Yeah, Woody Allen? That's cold. I don't get the comparison..?

gimlynick Posted November 23, 2017 Posted November 23, 2017 No worries, if she is a nurse or doctor this will happen more than you think. Go for it and trust her. Oh, and don't let her go, nurses are amazing people who deserve a lot of love and respect ! 1
Author RonSwanson Posted November 23, 2017 Author Posted November 23, 2017 Angsty? Haha, there is probably some truth to that. I work 80+ hour weeks and feel it when my free time is jeopardized. 1

Oh, and don't let her go, nurses are amazing people who deserve a lot of love and respect ! Not everyone who works in a hospital is a nurse or doctor, I work in a hospital and I'm neither....but I do still do shift work and believe I deserve respect too. People who work in healthcare generally do it because they want to help others. OP- I wonder if she works at the same hospital as me? I'm in NZ too not far from Swanson. ;-) Hope the date goes well, enjoy!
mortensorchid Posted November 24, 2017 Posted November 24, 2017 Those who work in caregiving jobs don't get holidays off. Last year I was working at a group home for the developmentally disabled as a caregiver and I had to work on Thanksgiving Day. I would have worked Christmas Eve and Christmas Day if I didn't quit the job first. Let her reach out and reschedule.
