To make my bf wait hours for his blind date

Ok so I've not been on here for years ...... but I'm raging. My bf has been behaving suspiciously so I checked online and right enough the wanker has a POF profile!

So I catfished him and we're meeting today at 12:30 ..... well he thinks we are ... I'm not turning up. Want to see how long I can make him wait!

If you're in Swindon feel free to give him a wave!!

Am I being unreasonable to make him wait a couple of hours. Will I be able to drag it out that long .....

I'd confront!!

Newtothis2017 · 04/01/2018 12:20

I think that is brilliant

RedTartanLass · 04/01/2018 12:21

Too far away to confront ..... plus he'd deny it!! I knew it was you darling .....

Send someone who is nearby to observe?

OhCalamity · 04/01/2018 12:22

I'd go in to 'bump' into him shortly before his date is due to arrive and get great delight at his flustered panicking trying to get rid of you.

WORKWORKWORKWORKWORKWORK · 04/01/2018 12:23

I’d leave him waiting then turn up sit down!

Joinourclub · 04/01/2018 12:23

I'd make him wait. And send a message at 12:45 ish, "I'm on my way" , so he doesn't give up too soon. 1:15 ish "sorry nearly there" .

Carbohol78 · 04/01/2018 12:24

I’d coincidentally turn up at the same time! Watch him squirm and nervously look at the door.

You could say “I’ve an idea, let’s pretend we’ve just met in this bar for the first time, you can call me ....” (and give him the name of the girl he thought he was meeting) see how long till he breaks

RedTartanLass · 04/01/2018 12:25

Ok so have sent him a message from "her"

Can you believe it the bus has broken down. Just waiting for another to come. So I'm running late, shall we meet inside? Save you getting cold. Would you be able to get me a cappuccino please. I'll get the next one. So sorry, can't believe this. :(

Better yet, you should have arranged with a place to hand him the menu while he's waiting but instead of the food choices on each course it lists his messages on Tinder to 'her' and at the end, for dessert the option is "you are dumped, fuckwit"

endofacentury · 04/01/2018 12:25

Yes pretend you are there as a coincidence! And message him saying nearly there... sorry op what a wanker

Carbohol78 · 04/01/2018 12:25

Where we meeting him then?! Grin I don’t live in Swindon, but I know it quite well Grin

Allthetuppences · 04/01/2018 12:26

Where in Swindon then?

BulletFox · 04/01/2018 12:26

Omg just imagine an MN flashmob turning up for his 'date'.

IrkThePurist · 04/01/2018 12:27

Turn up all cheerful and say you got his message telling you to meet him there...

Carbohol78 · 04/01/2018 12:27

Oh! It’s happening now?! Wow, what’s he replied (I actually hate him! Angry I met my DH through Match, people just looking for an unfaithful shag should stick to Tinder (and hopefully get syphillis)

pictish · 04/01/2018 12:29

Ohh ha ha I so hope this is for real (sorry OP but so much on here is bullshit). Has he responded yet? The rat.

RedTartanLass · 04/01/2018 12:29

He's replied -

Ok how long approx

Doesn't sound happy!!

He's in Boswells

Allthetuppences · 04/01/2018 12:30

Wouldn't even need to be rude. Imagine how disconcerting it would be to have only 2 or 3 strangers saying "hi, waiting for your date are you?"

Allthetuppences · 04/01/2018 12:30

I wish i was nearer!

Justbreathing · 04/01/2018 12:31

I hope this is real too

Afreshnewyearplease · 04/01/2018 12:31

I think some mners should go take pictures for the op

MissionItsPossible · 04/01/2018 12:31

Get him to take a pic of himself siting in the restaurant. Then if he tries to deny it you can show him the pic.

RedTartanLass · 04/01/2018 12:31

I swear on my life it's real!! I've been a member since forever and haven't been on for years!! But thought here was the best place for support from this wanker!!

Is he getting you the coffee though?
