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?

Wouldn’t even bother replying.

Who's this is your reply...
Then block.

The pissed off part of me wants to say "so you couldn't take 30 seconds to text me at the time. Don't bother asking me out again" sort of thing

@mintich

I'd write "no worries" too and never answer anything else again. It'll throw him off that you arent that bothered. What an arse!

I like this.

Oh I wouldn't bother replying, he told you he was 10mins away and then blocked you. That's a big huge red flag to not engage with him ever again

I wouldn't give him the time of day.

Block. Delete and move on. Never happened.

The scrub couldn't even come up with a realistic emergency that he had to attend to! Just 'something came up'. I can't believe he still expects you to engage with him after that little charade

I wouldn't justify it with a reply. What a creep. Just ignore and block.

Wow 3rd date and he blocked you and now has the cheek to message you? That's unkind. I would just reply "You won't be wasting my time again" then block him and move on.

No No no, don’t text that... he will think you care!

The laughing emoji is perfect

Or nothing!

I wouldn't reply at all.

He knows he's stuffed up and is trying to see if he's still in there.

I think a non response sends a clear message.

Don't reply, it will have him wondering and scratching his head more than any response. Then block!

I'm a few minutes away from giving zero fucks.Cheery bye.

Don’t worry about it, I had a fabulous time without you

Or the very passive aggressive "k". He's so insignificant, he doesn't even merit the "o".

It’s fine. I met someone really nice while I was waiting for you.

I like that. Better still, keep it vague: "No worries, it all worked out for the best! 😊 Hope you find someone eventually."

I’d be inclined to just send a laughing emoji

Ok (laughing emoji)

Then don't reply to anything else

'Oh I'm so happy to hear from you, let's meet xyz place ❤️'.

Then stand him up .

I'd go for don't worry about it, I had a fabulous time without you.
I wouldn't block because I'd be curious about a response, but I wouldn't communicate any further.
But you should probably block and ignore.

You snooze, you lose. Do better with your next date.

I like the "No worries" response. Or "Funnily enough it worked out really well for me that you couldn't make it", and no further information.

Send the thumbs up emoji and ignore forever.

Dick head.
