First date in 6 months

Dec 29, 2016 8:47 AM

When crush texts me out of the blue and asks to make me dinner one day this week

He wants to make me homemade pasta with the pasta maker he got for christmas! Aw yeah!

After some sexy innuendo about slurping noodles and saving room to have something in me aside from pasta we agreed that it was on for Wednesday night and he'd shoot me a text then

Tonight's the night. I start primping right after work. Bath and shower. Exfoliated everywhere. Shaved everything. For once my hair, makeup and outfit come together without stressing me out.

It's almost 7pm and I haven't heard from him. Send him a casual text... "hey what's up?" And now we wait...

And wait...
nerves are getting the best of me.
It's been an hour since I texted him...

The reality that I'm being stood up is setting in. I'm sitting at the kitchen island all dressed up and waiting for him to text when roommate comes home and tells me I look beautiful.

8:15pm. I text him again and inquire as to whether he "bitched out" and informed him that seeing as it's getting late I've elected to find my own dinner.

He finally texts back at 9:04pm. "Oh shit. Completely forgot."

Did not dignify that with a response. Waited for a follow up... an apology maybe, but nothing more came. It's now 12:44am and I'm still stewing but don't want to give this man any more of my attention. Just needed to vent.

Hey, you looked gorgeous. There's *nothing* like that feeling when it all comes together. This was a practice run for a real guy next time.

What a shit excuse, he didn't forget. What guy forgets about a date with a pretty lady? No, he just didn't care enough. Good riddance.

I hope you no longer have a crush on him. He played you and will do it again given a chance. Move your heart away as fast as you can.

I had a dude do this. I had known him for years and he just got out of a relationship. He wasn't ready to date, despite him instigating.

Anyone who would do this isn't worth the time. But I'm sorry you had to go through that; it still sucks.

That doesn't seem very fair. I mean people forget stuff. Doesn't mean he's a bad person. I've got a shitty memory. It messes up my plans 1/2

My bf forgets stuff all the time and it's nbd, but he always apologizes. Especially if it was important to me. This guy doesn't seem to care
