Friend had stood me up, what do I do?

Friend asked to come over to mine an hour ago and to get a takeaway.

Since then I've heard nothing. Called and goes straight to voicemail.

I'm starving and want to cook some dinner

I would be worried about her. Can you go round to her house?

Cook something and if she comes when it's cooked put it in the fridge for tomorrow? Or if she comes after you've eaten it tell her to order something for herself you've already eaten!

That is rude but it's still pretty early?

She's moved back in with her dad so I only know the area and not street or number.

I'm not worried about her .. not in a cruel way but she's had form for doing shit like this to me before.

Fuck it, I've started cooking now.

Felt like a right muppet just sat there waiting for her.

Did she say WHEN? You don't mention that, which is odd when it makes all the difference.

Did she say she was leaving immediately? How far away is she from your house? Could she be waiting on a bus or stuck in traffic?

It's still pretty early, didn't she mean when the kids were in bed? I'd be expecting someone around 8...

Beforethelastpetalfalls · 21/04/2017 19:46

why would she mean when the kids are in bed? She doesn't have children.

You didn't answer the question

It's only ten to eight on a Friday evening, maybe she's on her way and doesn't realise you're hungry? Have a snack and give her half an hour?

Did she definitely say 6pm?

Seems early for takeaway

Hope she's ok!

Screwinthetuna · 21/04/2017 20:08

Don't you have kids though? If one of my friends were coming round for a takeaway, they would always come later when kids were in bed and with a bottle of wine, etc

Beforethelastpetalfalls · 21/04/2017 21:56

No. Why does one of us have to have children?

Although there's a lot of non-parents on here it's still presumed as the name is MUMSnet.

Which could mean mother to teens, people in their twenties etc.

Umm... you're very rude aren't you? I didn't realise you had to have children to post on here. I thought everyone was welcome. Obviously not.

Starting to see why your friend might not be too bothered coming over

What's your problem, your being very aggressive! I get your obviously pissed off at your friend but there's no need to be so rude to people.

You don't need to have children but most people assume that so take that into account when asking.

All you needed to say was no neither of us have children so that's not a factor.
