For those who followed my thread from yesterday about being stood up. Well guess what? He's just texted. Note its not on WhatsApp. Heres what he said "sorry I couldn't make lunch the other day (yesterday!) Something came up I couldn't get out of. If I could've made it I would have"

Classic. Any witty replies?

@WhosThatGirl89

I'm not going to reply. It will be interesting to see if he messages again though as he was the one who kept asking me out.
Great! I was typing too slow and didn’t see your reply!
Lottapianos · 26/07/2020 22:06

Enjoy a good laugh at all the suggested responses, but you're doing the right thing by not replying. What a loser he is

CandidaAlbicans2 · 26/07/2020 22:06

What a git.
Glad you're going to ignore him, OP, as it's far worse being ignored than anything you could reply with. Not knowing what's happening with someone is a real mind fuck, so let him experience it, it'll serve him right.

Excellent choice, OP.

Strengthen your resolve, stick to your game plan. I bet my house he’ll text you again.

There was a cracking one on here a while ago in a similar vein - she pretended to be someone else on Tinder, typical hotnhorny etc, arranged to meet him. Then she text him as the 'girlfriend' 'oh can you meet on Tuesday at 2pm or whatever '. To which he said he was helping his aging granny out or whatever, and so couldn't. Then she never turned up (obviously) as hot n horny girl but spied on him from a distance, no doubt laughing her ass off. THEN she blocked him as both girlfriend and hot n horny.

Score

Here we go, he's just messaged again.

"I am really sorry. I had a few things going on that were getting in the way of me coming and they all came to a climax that morning. I couldn't go into details when you called so I had to lie. I'll make it up to you if you ever want to go out again"

😂 I had to lie?! Ffs

Well done silence got a second text. Sit it out

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 26/07/2020 22:12

I guessing you have 1 more message coming your way, something along the lines of “I get the message, but it really couldn’t be helped”

Nat6999 · 26/07/2020 22:12

Is this.....( a different name)

Russellbrandshair · 26/07/2020 22:12

Bwahahahaha! The silence is driving him mad! He literally can’t understand why you aren’t replying 😆

ReturnofSaturn · 26/07/2020 22:12

Do not be dragged back in OP! He's testing you.

katy1213 · 26/07/2020 22:12

No worries. Assumed your wife caught you leaving the house. When I see her, I'll tell her it was only lunch.

No worries. Got chatting to guy at the next table who bought me a drink. He's really nice so you did me a favour.

No worries. Always best to get bad manners out there sooner rather than later. Bye.

No worries. Assume the cat ate your homework.

MoonBabysMagicalKalimba · 26/07/2020 22:13

He’s married, 100%

It is giving me a lovely satisfied feeling knowing he's thinking about me. I don't know if he can see that I've read them. I've got a Samsung, I think he's got an i phone

Get a friend to send him a message saying 'why are you texting my girlfriend' 🤣🤣🤣

FiveFootTwoEyesOfBlue · 26/07/2020 22:15

He is 100% in a relationship or married. Twat.

Viviennemary · 26/07/2020 22:15

Text I'd love to see you again

Wait ten minutes

Then no I wouldn't. Sorry I had to lie.

Smallsteps88 · 26/07/2020 22:15

OH I would definitely agree to go out again. The cinema, tell you’ll meet him there and he should go ahead and get the tickets and snacks and then you just don’t turn up.

Countrysidelife54 · 26/07/2020 22:16

Don't text back, he is no good for you, total game player, don't waste your time.

katy1213 · 26/07/2020 22:16

But actually, probably best to ignore! He had his chance and he blew it.

user1294625849274 · 26/07/2020 22:16

Ah, so he is a spy on an important mission. That's fair enough really, op, isn't it?

WhattheHhashappened · 26/07/2020 22:17

Wow OP! ‘Had to lie*
Not sure how to reply to that!

Dancingonmylonesome · 26/07/2020 22:18

Hes a drama llama

Staplemaple · 26/07/2020 22:18

They usually do when you remind silent, it drives them wild! Don't ever reply back to him though, the weasel.
