Or was my date really rude?

[gillteed]

Went on a date yesterday.
We met in a village half way between us.
It was a hour train for me and 45 mins for him.
My train home was 5pm and his was 5.05 pm.
I checked my app and seen my 5pm train was cancelled (if anyone is in north you will know northern still use the horrible 2 carriage pacer trains ) anyway the 4pm train was running 7 mins late so we rushed down for that.
I missed it by 2 mins.
His train came in at about ten past 4 and he jumped on and said bye leaving me alone till 6pm for the next train.
This is a train station without a coffee shop,any train staff,no vending machine and no toilets.
20 mins walk back into the village and I didn't really know the way.
Aibu to think he could have stayed as he wasn't going anywhere just home.
So I sat till 6 pm and I got home for 7.30 pm and he was home and 5pm !

I’d say no to a second date, it’s a bit off, maybe not rude as such but surely he could have chatted ? And maybe even just stayed until his next train?

Sounds like he wasn't interested in you.
If he was, and the date had gone well, he'd have waited until at least his planned 5:05 train. Delete and move on.

Yeah that’s a bit crap! I wouldn’t be impressed if someone left me sitting myself for 2 hours. Unless he had to be somewhere urgently, but you said he didn’t.

Have you heard from him since? Based on his actions I would have to assume he wasn’t interested in a second date, or severely lacking any sort of social skills!

Just don’t see him again. Yes shown you what he is like

He should have offered to stay and walk back to the village with you.

This was actually our 4th date

That's pretty mean. Think it shows his true colours!

I wouldn't see him again.

Don't go for number 5!

Has he been in touch since?

Also when I got there (5 mins after ) thinking he was meeting at station he text saying he had walked to the pub up the road and he would meet me inside.
Couldn't even be bothered to wait 5 mins

He text saying he was home and asked if I was still at the station

Wouldn’t be seeing him again. That’s terrible form.

Not a keeper. Nice to realise it early on.

If it was me then that date would likely be our last. It's the lack of thought in the early stages of a relationship than would upset me.

But presumably the date was not enjoyable for you either? Otherwise I would have wanted to take a later train, not an earlier one!

He should of waited with you. Not very gentlemanly.

YANBU arsehole!!!!

Definitely knock it on the head, I'd also explain why.

Definitely rude, I would have stayed with you until at least my planned train and probably the one after you left.

@crispysausagerolls I had to get back and the train after the cancelled one was going to get me back too late.

Never popular on this forum, but old fashioned courtesy goes a long way. I wouldn't see him again.

If we had been getting on really well and conversation was easy and interesting then I might have stayed. But an extra hour of awkward conversation with a stranger just to pass time - I'd have jumped on that train too. Having said that, he did originally say he'd get the 5.05 so in your shoes I'd feel resentful of him. I would chalk it down to a duff date, delete his number and try someone else.

He left you to wait 2 hours for a train? Why didn't you suggest going back to the pub?

He sounds bloody thoughtless?

4th date? That's pretty shit behaviour. Either way I wouldn't see him again.
