Being stood up

[Spode]

I have walked out of a meeting that was running late, for a project worth an obscene amount of money, to make it to a scheduled date.



We closed the deal at the next meeting. Deals can wait. Ladies shouldn't have to.

Not that I have ever stood anyone up for a date or anything, but I would have to politely disagree with you on this one for a number of reasons. First of all if he did have work to do, than he better come up with a very nice apology for you Karma. And by that I mean shoot the moon on whatever your heart desires. That is if he is into you, and did have loads of work.

But on the other hand, if you are self employed you can afford to take the gamble of delaying a deal. But if you work as part of a company getting that work done at this time of year, (quarter end plus clean up day) than many people depend on what you accomplish in order to make a good living. Your superiors, subordinates may make a few extra hundred or thousands of dollars in one month or lose it all together if it lagged a day. I know that this is not the romantic version of reality, but sometime the tougher thing to do is give up on the girl and the fun and do the shitty thing and fulfill your commitments. I say trust your instincts. How did he sound when he told you of his problem? Was he a nice guy and this was his first infraction? You did say he was an ass in one of your replys, so is he?

personal or professional date??? um i guess personal.Sup @ me be so cynical

 

[goodtime]

You're not alone.

He's just in that into her.... isn't that something Dr. Phil or Oprah said?? or am i totally off???
I think my ego's just slightly bruised and i'm a little cyinical and jaded about dating... i alway seem to pick someone who's more of an asshole than i am. LOL THIS is why i haven't gone on a date in MONTHS AND MONTHS

Some people are dogs and don't appreciate others. Be patient, you will meet that special guy. It takes time. He will require to have some balls, in order to date an attractive girl like you.

If you're seeing someone all the time and you have to cancel once in a while, then it's cool to phone and cancel. But if the guy hasn't seen you six months and he's still not going out of his mind for another chance, he's obviously way too into his own thing to be worth your patience.

If there was such important work to be done, he would have said "now is not a good time to get together - maybe in a couple of weeks" and not make the commitment in the first place.

BTW, I wish I had quarter for all the times I overheard a guy selling that work story over the cell phone, while his buddies wait to see if he'd be free to go drinking or meet some other girls with them.

You must really like this guy to post the incident on the board. If that is the case, I assume you have already planning to give him a second to work things out. Believe it or not, there are a lot of uncontrollable events at work even you hold a senior position. Good luck to both of you. Hope things work out at the end.

It's obvious. He did he right thing. He stood you up and now you want to know why and try to understand him.

Congratulations, he's already got you.

Standing up women, it works every time.

haha he hasn't "got me". "we want what we can't have" it's true in most cases, but in this case, i'm gonna have to say screw it. Into me or not, i just dont care that much. The day it happened i was pissed off but now thats old news.
As for his job being demanding, he's an investment banker...i have no idea how demanding that kind of thing is.
If by personal or professional you mean did i meet up at a SC, the answer is no. I've actually known him for years. meh i guess we were more chillin as friends

When I was 16 yrs old I arranged a rendezvous with a girl in my brother's class at her house on a Sunday afternoon (she was 15). As the time approached for our get together I became more and more fearful. I had no idea what to expect or how to act. I did not show up nor did I call. I just chickened out.....I hear that you can by a time machine on the internet...anyone have any experience with that?

 

[torex]

what an arse it is!
karma's awsome arse

Karma,where you dancing again? LOL

 

[Karma]

haha that just made me think of the time machine in Napolean Dynamite!!


I'm working at the midway once in a while

I hoped someone would get that. I loved Npapolean Dynamite.

In conclusion i've decided being stood up ISN'T an enjoyable experience and having a date alone isn't nearly as fun if there aren't 2 people.

Wow, arent you the smart one. As for being stood up...deal with it.
