He stood me up, now he's texted. Gather round ladies

[WhosThatGirl89]

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

Not sure how to link my other thread. Basically, had a 3rd date lined up, booked a table. 10 mins after we were supposed to meet I called him, he said he was a few mins away. Then he didn't turn up and blocked me

Wow I think you should just block him. There’s so many red flags here not sure it’s even worth you explaining to him. How can you come back from something like this? Get rid OP he did you a favour!!

I'd really just reply: 'ok, too bad you didn't tell me at the time'.
Then just ignore him. Don't block. Though it doesn't sound like he is going to get in touch again anyway. Be cool, aloof, but you let him know that he let you down in one sentence.

If you can't cope with a few cock ups in life with men, you are better off alone.
I read your other post, and I did say,that there could be limitless reasons why things went a bit caput.

I personally can't not have the last word.

So I would respond...

"Hmmm. Sounds legit. "

Who writes " things came to a climax" in a message to their stood up date? Weird grin

^. That's what I thought! climax is only for one thing

If he was climaxing whilst you were sitting at the booked table waiting for him, I'm surprised you're even contemplating engaging with him further

Does anyone have the link to the 3 year relationship no text reply thread?

@WhosThatGirl89 Hold on he actually blocked you before he stood you up, then unblocked you and sent you that message?

That's unbelivebly rude, do you even want a relationship with him after this?

Well you're not gonna see him again, so why not vent your rage? Don't see the point in trying to play it cool or make someone you're never gonna see again jealous, makes it seem like you still give a shot about him I'd just say 'yes you really pissed me off when you wasted my time, you're an immature, idiotic, asshole, don't bother texting me again, bye". Job done.

Well after the first message I'd have absolutely wanted to know why he said he was on his way but his next messages have answered that. He has already shown himself to be a liar so I'd feel good about not replying.

No matter how many texts he sends or what their content is; absolutely 100% do not respond ever.

Enjoy his texts that show you’re living rent free in his head but don’t make the mistake of engaging with him at all, you will just get humiliated twice if you do x

I'd not be able to say nothing. Just 'Fuck off, you lying sack of shit. Goodbye.' and block.

“Oh do stop messaging. You’ve already made yourself look like a twat, no need to expand on it!”

(Everything I’m suggesting is for amusement- as he’s already proving, silence is the most annoying reply!)

I think life's too short not to have a bit of fun with this.

I'd text him "Yes I was sorry you didn't come, apart from anything else I was feeling a bit frisky that day and wearing my favourite stockings... Let's try again next week?"

And then obviously don't go, but answer your phone with I'm literally just round the corner parking.

And then block him.

I think the subsequent messages have been over normal text, not WhatsApp

I had a guy do something similar, stood me up, blocked me then later that evening text me with a vague sorry about that WhatsApp.

I replied similar to below, not world for word because I don't have the WhatsApp anymore

"Well if it isn't the scarlet pimpernel, what came up? Did you pop over to France to rescue a few aristocratic toffs from the ineffectual clutches of some malnourished, whinging lefties, taking the opportunity while there, no doubt, to pick up some really cheap wine and some of their marvellous fruit flans?!"

Followed by a Blackadder gif.

I'd probably just send this gif.

He doesn't get your anger, he's not worth that headspace and obviously thinks more of himself by saying that. Keep ignoring (and updating us as he slowly goes mad). Well done OP x

I wouldn't reply at all. Far more powerful a message than trying to send something witty.

I want to know why he stood you up - I think reply with something like: "awww babe, must have been really hard. What things?"

Are you taking the piss?

So because she doesn't want to be stood up and lied to she's better off alone? You may not think you deserve better than that, but that's not to say anyone else should.

The man's a cunt and more than likely married and it's better the OP had found out now, before things progressed any further. Why the hell should people settle for shit relationships with shit people?

Excellent work OP. Do not reply. DO NOT REPLY.

Morning OP! Hope you’re still going down the dignified silence route.

You’ve completely flipped this situation on it’s head. He’s now WAITING ON YOU/your messages.

You’re in control. But the second you respond, you’ve lost it. Stay strong, don’t engage and watch his descent into madness 💪

at the mysterious matters ‘coming to a climax’ that day!

Yeah, ignore!
