Why does this keep happening to me!

Aibu in thinking I will never ever meet somebody. I’m a single parent, my daughter is 2. I’ve not had any luck in dating or meeting somebody, which tbh I would like to, have a feeling it’s never going to happen though.

The reason I’m posting this is I’ve been speaking to somebody for a little while and we planned a date today, 6pm. This was planned on Thursday so enough time to let me know if anything changed. Just casual at the pub for food. Arranged for my mum to have DD for the night. I Was looking forward to it. I was having to drive about half an hour to get there and because I hadn’t heard from him for a few hours I text to see what was happening. He said ‘can just meet there at 5 or 6pm’ which isn’t helpful in itself. Got ready anyway and I said let me know when you’re going to set off and be there. Heard nothing. Tried calling him no answer. I thought I’m not wasting my time going in case he doesn’t turn up but gave him more than enough time to let me know either way, anyway it got to 6:30pm and he text me saying ‘can just meet another day next week if you’re not busy’ I really don’t understand! I’m glad I didn’t just turn up to be stood up

@rawhidebone

Why do people think she was being vague? She wasn't? She asked what time and then when he was vague she said let me know, so that she could set off. And then he binned it.

OP, I understand exactly how you are feeling. It is so frustrating arranging precious child care for no reason.
