mortensorchid Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 I was supposed to have an internet date tonight. I texted him earlier today to ask what time we were to meet. He responded saying he was about to text me that he had to cancel. He got called to do his side job tonight - refereeing for high school football games. I said "alright, no worries". He said back "I really want to meet you". So I am going to wait on him to respond after this. I feel down just because.
Happy Lemming Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Since it was "he" who cancelled (because of work), I'm curious did he suggest an alternate date & time?? 45 minutes ago, mortensorchid said: He said back "I really want to meet you". 1

I know how referees' work schedules are limited to during the sports season. The red flag for me with your situation is that he could have easily compromised by scheduling a quick video date with you this week, knowing he picked up a high school football game to ref at. Those games are preset at the beginning of the school year and refs have access to those school schedules ahead of the games. I'd just write him off as 'not interested' and move on to the next guy. 1

We were supposed to meet face to face. He did not suggest a raincheck. I am not holding my breath on this. Personally I think anyone who would find an excuse to not see someone isn't worth one's time. If it was a true work emergency? I suppose so but there was one time years ago I was to see someone and after an hour of waiting for him I called him. He answered and said "I f***** up I am out at a bar with friends." I said he can call me to reschedule, he never did. Next.

Ruby Slippers Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 That sucks. I admire your tenacity. I think you'll meet someone good eventually.

I agree with Ruby Slippers, I admire your tenacity. Online dating seems pretty awful from what I've heard about it.

I don't blame you. I understand he may have needed the $$ & may genuinely love being a ref. If he was worth your time he could have offered to meet you after the game, for breakfast this morning or depending on the Covid restrictions by you, he could have offered you a ticket to the game & to share a post game tail gate style beverage. His choice to do nothing tells you everything. I'm sorry this happened. 4

I said he can call me to reschedule, he never did. Next. That depends. Is the person I'm supposed to meet, a father, a mother, a brother, a sister, a friend I've been close with for the last 30 years? A long-term girlfriend? Someone I met online and have never spent any quality time with? Then no, I'm not exactly going to risk meeting that person in the middle of a world-wide health crisis, possibly catching a virus that can make me lose all of what I've worked so far to acquire(nearly perfect health) just because I feel lonely. If I was that guy, I'd have that internet date with you, but I wouldn't meet you face mask to face mask for the next 6 months to 1 year at the very least. Now, this guy, if he meets up with his friends in a bar which are hotspots for the spreading of a virus, then I'd say he doesn't really care much about his physical health, which means the reason why he didn't meet up with you face to face is because he's not really all that into you. Give up on this guy and tak to other men.
