mortensorchid Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 I went on Bumble and I met this guy. Divorced, 40, one child age 5. I talked to him on the phone last week, he seemed alright. I arranged to meet him tonight (Sunday). On Saturday night he texted me and said hey can we get together tonight? I was driving for Postmates and making money, I said we had already agreed to Sunday so no. He texted back "I'm not looking for a hook up". I texted this morning we were to meet tonight at 6 PM. He texted back ok. I asked when and where earlier that he wanted to meet, he said he didn't care I can pick. I show up at the place and wait in the waiting area of the restaurant. I texted him "I am here". Nothing. 20 minutes later he texts me "Oh sorry I fell asleep we were going to meet tonight?" I hit the panic button and bailed out. I had a bad feeling about this and decided to cut my loss before getting further into it. I left and went grocery shopping. Home now with macaroni and cheese eating g my feelings. No word. Next.
preraph Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 I hate people who can't plan stuff and stick with the plan. 1
Sunlight72 Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 Lame a** and weak, weak..... spppbbbb Sorry to hear you found such a schlub Mortensorchid. Funny, wouldn't have thought of it otherwise, but I am glad you went grocery shopping before going home. A good way to remember the world is bigger than that dufus 1
carhill Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 To get back in the groove select a bit below cream of the crop. Doesn't have to be a permanent change, just a confidence builder. Guys who really look forward to meeting up with you. Also, spoil yourself a bit. Mac/cheese is something old fart live alone guy like me eats, though I had leftover turkey and fixings tonight. Treat yourself at home.
Happy Lemming Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 Also, spoil yourself a bit. Mac/cheese is something old fart live alone guy like me eats... ^^^^ Same here... It was on sale for 2 for $1, so I stocked up!! Mortensorchid... sorry your date didn't turn out. I agree with "Pregraph". It is unacceptable to make plans and try to change them for a first date. Even worse to fall asleep before a first date. I always got excited about dating someone new, I doubt I'd be able to nap right before a date. NEXT!! 1
carhill Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 I find the Knorr broccoli cheese rice sides @ .98 on Amazon to be superior to mac/cheese though used to be a big fan. Tonight I added real broccoli and some bacon bits for flavor. Turkey and cranberry sauce for the main. I remember sending a picture of my 'trailer trash dinner' to a MW last week; DiGiorno three meat frozen pizza, 1.5l Absolute vodka and tonic water; I'm getting into the trailer trash lifestyle. Nice getting away from all the pretentious big house stuff I had for many decades. Simple. Same with dating OP. Keep it simple. I remember one lunch date where I showed up and the lady was nowhere to be seen. It was at an old Mexi hangout of mine so I ordered a couple margaritas from the owner and sat down to wait (no cell phones back then) 10 minutes, then 20, then 30 go by. Meanwhile I'd had both margaritas. Finally the lady showed up. My comment? 'You're late!". I married her 1
nospam99 Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 I went on Bumble and I met this guy. OP, I'm sorry to hear about 'yet another' OLD disappointment for you. Our generation and gender are different but we're both 'searching' (or hunting or fishing as the euphemisms go). I can at least say that I have yet to be 'stood up' the way this guy did you. I think you already know that OLD is a numbers game. Because it's worked best for me among the several sites I've tried and unless you've already tried it, I suggest giving match.com a shot. Best wishes
diddilybop Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 ugh, i’m so sorry that happened to you. good thing you decided to move on, you haven’t even met up yet and he’s already causing trouble. next indeed, you deserve WAY more!
Wallysbears Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 I went on Bumble and I met this guy. Divorced, 40, one child age 5. I talked to him on the phone last week, he seemed alright.

I had a bad feeling about this and decided to cut my loss before getting further into it. I left and went grocery shopping. Home now with macaroni and cheese eating g my feelings. No word. Next. So my advice? YOU don't EVER arrange a date. The guy does. And, never accept a date for a weekend after a Wednesday. You have a life and you are busy. If he asks on a Thursday, tell him "oh, gosh, I'm sorry, I'd love to but...I already have plans this weekend." and then STOP talking. Let him suggest the next time/date. And don't text. He's 40. He knows better than to text to ask a woman on a date and you deserve better than that. If he can't call and ask you out, he's lazy and you don't need him. NEXT and move on. This isn't the advice I'd give to a younger person - but anyone over the age of 35 knows better when it comes to dating and is being lazy if they're doing the nonsense this guy did. Don't even waste your time.
