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

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?

Something came up that required him to block you?

He must think you are desperate and lacking a brain!

DifficultPifcultLemonDifficult · 27/07/2020 10:01

Well done op. I know how tempting it is to reply, you're doing great.

You're worth far more than this knobhead has to offer you.

Mummyoflittledragon · 27/07/2020 10:06

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading this thread. In fact I’m going to add it to my watch list so that I can show it to my dd when she’s older. You’ve done a sterling job. 👏👏

Penguins1 · 27/07/2020 10:11

What a jerk, he blocked you? (How do you know that). I'd ignore him. Or send a 'Who is this?', then ignore!

Something came up that required him to block you?

OP spoke to him just before he blocked her so my guess is his wife heard the conversation, confronted him and ‘things came to a climax’ for the adulterous pig.

Penguins1 · 27/07/2020 10:14

By the way, just read all the messages you posted and well done, OP!!

Camphillgirl · 27/07/2020 10:15

You have had a lucky escape

hellsbellsmelons · 27/07/2020 10:32

Wow - nicely ignored OP.
Don't block - we need more updates as his messages get more desperate!
Dignity - head high - you've got this!

Silentfrog · 27/07/2020 10:50

So impressed. Laughing at him too. Well done @WhosThatGirl89

WhosThatGirl89 · 27/07/2020 10:51

Thanks everyone. I know in the grand scheme its not that big a deal. But I've been single for 5 years and getting to a 3rd date is rare for me.

Thumbs up or ignore.

What a fuckwit

WinnieLowCo · 27/07/2020 11:29

Yes, something came up that made him need to block you 🤔🤦‍♀️

Either married or a complete fuckboy. Both.

BlingLoving · 27/07/2020 11:29

I have been following all along. Originally I thought you should send him a "hahahahahaha" post. But ignoring him is clearly driving him absolutely batshit so keep it up OP!!

Lottapianos · 27/07/2020 11:36

Very well done OP. Some of the suggested replies on here are very funny, but carry on not responding. Its obviously driving him crackers. What an absolute sad case he is. There will be more texts - please keep us posted!

Grobagsforever · 27/07/2020 11:49

GREAT JOB OP

That was my first thought too.
AtLeastThreeDrinks · 27/07/2020 12:01

I'd ignore, but I'd also reverse-image search him to see if anything came up. My friend did this with one of her dates who seemed a bit sketchy and his (recent) wedding photos came up on his public FB profile!

Thisismytimetoshine · 27/07/2020 12:11

How do you reverse search?

SpookyNoise · 27/07/2020 12:19

I can’t believe he texted again! He is incredibly cheeky. Keep ignoring him.

ScrapThatThen · 27/07/2020 12:20

Might be worth blocking now in case he gets abusive when he realises you are not biting

EmbarrassedUser · 27/07/2020 12:21

I like ‘who is this?’ Or just ignore.

CremeEggThief · 27/07/2020 12:23

Definitely block him now. Otherwise he's just going to carry on popping up from time to time and you won't be able to forget him.

Queenest · 27/07/2020 12:29

Ha ha it works every time doesn’t it. You now hold all the power. For ever!

Well done for not replying.

Upstartcrones · 27/07/2020 12:33

he's married that's why he blocked you. he was obviously with his wife/kids and was terrified a message would pop up on his phone that they would see. would also explain the last minute change as his family needed him for something.

dodged a bullet there OP!

AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet · 27/07/2020 12:38

I bet he has already blocked and deleted the OP. His ego will be feeling very bruised because she didn't respond to his final desperate plea
