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?

@DannyGlickWindowTapping

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

This is perfect 👌

Oh sorry? Did we have plans?

Either 'fuck off'
or
make another arrangement to meet, then stand him up,

or tell him you met someone nicer at the date.

He is an absolute arse. So perhaps stony silence would be best? What a dick.

I'd go with 'Who dis?'

Arrange to meet and stand him up!

Or go on the arranged date, order copious amounts of food and wine, pretend you’re going to the loo and leave

Whatever you reply won’t make any difference because he’s a complete dick.

I’m feeling so grumpy this evening that I wish there was a way to reply that would make him realise what a prize knobhead he is but alas I think any effort would be wasted on him. He clearly gives no fucks about others.

Silence is best

Yes the thumbs up emoji. It tells him nothing.
I wouldn't block but reply no further after that.

The laughing emoji is such a good idea...what a twat.

Either don’t reply or thumbs up and leave it

I'd be tempted to repay him in kind. Send some suggestive pics and really ham it up, only to block him when you're supposed to rendezvous. But then I'm a bitch like that.

Don't dignify it with a response.

I like the idea of arranging to meet then standing him up or ordering loads of stuff then leaving

I would either not respond or just send a thumbs up but I suspect you want to reply?

I would not say “ don’t worry “ or “no worries”. Don’t give him permission to be not worried. He’s not worried, he doesn’t care. Say nothing at all. Or send him a thumbs up emoji.

"It was funny, I ended up eating lunch with someone who turned out to know you. That was a really enlightening conversation (laughing emoji)" then block.

To some randomer you’ve had 2 dates with? Just walk away

Foxtrot Oscar 🖕

He blocked you! He deserves no response.

I haven't replied. Part of me wants to just to see if he'll come up with any specific excuses as to "what came up"

I absolutely wouldn't send a response. He'll be waiting for one so by not sending one you have the eternal upper hand...

Don't bother with him - sounds a complete idiot !! Plenty more nice men out there !!

Oh you have GOT to stand him up. That would be amazing.

What he did was so rude and non-caring that I wouldn’t bother responding.

I like ‘no worries’ too as it implies you’re not bitter or angry, you just don’t give a fuck. I think that would be harder for his ego to take. I would never block a man it suggests you care.
