To think I've been catfished?

Name changed for this one, but penis beaker etc!

So I met a guy online after being single for a while. He seemed nice, attractive, we chatted for ages etc and eventually agreed to meet last week. I drove to his town (20 mins away) and waited at the coffee shop we agreed to meet at. After 15 mins or so and he didn't show up, I messaged him on FB asking where he was. No reply and did the same thing after about 30 mins had passed.

I hung around for about an hour (large shopping centre) but he never showed so I gave up and went home.

Later that night he messaged me on FB all apologetic, really sorry I had car troubles and my phone had died so I couldn't make it etc. I was still a bit miffed but he sounded sincere enough so carried on talking to him.

We have been having chats all week until this morning he messaged me out of the blue asking if I wanted to meet tonight at 5pm at the same place as he would be in town.

Its currently twenty past five and he isn't here! I've been stood up haven't I? :(

Yep.

He’s an absolute dick. Go home. Block him.

Wow, what an arsehole. I’d never have forgiven it the first time but this time you should’ve waited five minutes then gone home and blocked him.

Do that now OP, don’t even give the twat a second thought.

He’s possibly very shy? But he wouldn’t be getting another chance from me after this.

Thanks everyone, its true I shouldn't have given him this second chance! Why are men so annoying :( :( I have the best chocolate cake I have ever eaten though, so can't complain too much!

Ouch, sorry OP. Cut your loses and go home. He's rubbish!

Don’t even block him. Let him think YOU didn’t turn up either.

What an arsewipe.

Step away lass.

I wouldn't have waited 45 minutes the first time.

And no second chance.

Rats are easy to smell.

What a prick! Glad you had some nice cake though.

Just call him a weasel cunt and block him.

Ok so just finished my cake, getting ready to leave and hes text me saying "Really sorry babe I am on my way oh by the way it is OK if my friend Rob tags along cos I just ran into him" (not verbatim) what sort of twat brings his mate along on a first date???

Hes just messing with me isnt he lol

I'd message back 'sorry I forgot about the date, still at home'.

You sure he isn’t the cafe owner looking to up his sales ? Joking aside though what an arse, I’d walk away.

Turn your phone off and go home.

I had an experience like this once. Arranged to meet a man in starbucks and I sent him my location on whatsapp when I arrived (to show I'd arrived) and then about 15 minutes later he wasn't there. I texted ''are you going to be late?''. I left the coffee shop to ring him, and he answered to phone angrily to tell me that HE'D been there but I hadn't been. He Told me that I'd taken one look at him and decided he was ugly and left!! omg, there ARE some proper fuckwits out there.

Leave!! How rude.

'Babe'? 'BABE'?!?!?

You really don't want to date this twat anyway.

Just leave and block.

He must lead a very sad life if he has the time and energy to deliberately mess people around op. What a dick.

You didn't show up TWICE did you!?!?!

So he was a no show twice?

I think the message about bringing a friend is to make you say 'ofgs just leave it'

Don't respond, ever.

At least you had a nice bit of cake.

Lol @Ginorchoc! Yeah I sent him a two word reply and left it at that. Am quite tempted to hang around somewhere well hidden and see if friend Rob does really make an appearance...

I think he's always going to mess you around if this is his first date behaviour, he's clearly got no respect for you.

Glad the cake was good

Is that being catfished or stood up?

I think you've been stood up again. He just wants to put ball in your court, so he can say he was going to be there- when he comes sniffing round online again. Because he'll try.
