mortensorchid Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 I was chatting with this guy on Facebook yesterday. He wanted to get together that day and I declined. I didn't want to just rush into something, and he is, after all, a stranger. I suggested the next day (today - Wednesday), and he said okay so we made a plan to meet this evening at 8. He texted me this morning saying good morning, I said I was in the middle of running a few errands and I would talk to him in a few. At 4PM he sent me an IM saying he had double booked for tonight and he had to reschedule. I just sent a message back saying "ok". He said "I'll make it up to you". So … I should wait until he reaches out again? He said he'll make it up to me.
alphamale Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 you should probably move on mortensorchid congrats on reaching 5000 posts 1 1
d0nnivain Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 It's a pretty flimsy excuse. I'd see what he does. If he reaches out again & you have nothing better to do, go. See what happens. But for now do not hold out hope. 1
central Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 I give people one more chance, if I have any interest. It's easy to make a mistake, or forget an appointment - just don't let it happen a second time. 1
hippychick3 Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 I’d move on without saying a word. I think what he did was very rude. I wouldn’t bother. Next.
Simple Logic Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 I was chatting with this guy on Facebook yesterday. He wanted to get together that day and I declined.

Lisa_Lisa Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 If you want to let him make it up to you, go ahead. Maybe it might be a nice evening with a enjoyable company, but I'd take everything he says with a grain of salt. I had someone do this to me recently and now he's DM'ing me asking what he did wrong, he wants to see me, babe, please, I want to take you out. Too little, too late. I gave him many chances and he blew them all.
Happy Lemming Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 I’d move on without saying a word. I think what he did was very rude. I wouldn’t bother. Next. ^^^^ 100% Agree. I'm not buying the "double book" excuse. In my opinion, here is what happened... someone (who he thinks is better) gave him a "yes" to meet that night and he threw you on the back burner. He didn't "double book", in this age of calendars on our phone/computer/tablet, it is almost impossible to "double book". NEXT!!
Author mortensorchid Posted March 28, 2019 Author Posted March 28, 2019 I'll just sit tight and see if he reaches out again. Otherwise I am not holding my breath.
Author mortensorchid Posted March 28, 2019 Author Posted March 28, 2019 But I agree it was very rude of him to do so. I would have kept the appointment.
dangerous Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Waiting is subservient. take control, decide to move on.
