I've been stood up!

[battleroyal]

Just that & I am very angry and upset!

Back story, been dating the guy for the last 2 months, going out around twice a week but message every day etc. All was going well (or so I thought)
Tonight we were going to stay in, get a takeaway & watch a film but that was supposed to be at 7 and it's now 845!

He messaged me this morning, chatted a bit as usual & he said that he was meeting his friend for lunch & drinks but would be ready to see me at 7...

I have not heard from him since 4pm, i asked if he was coming here or me to his, no response.
I've messaged 3 times 😢

It’s not just the laughing about it, he should of been genuinely gutted he’d missed the chance to spend an evening with you!

Yes people can laugh initially from nerves (I do that a lot myself!), but it’s accompanied by remorse as well. The OP said he seemed to find it generally quite funny.

People also laugh when they’re lying - they can’t keep the nonsense of it in.

Just the sort of thing dh would do, particularly in the early days of our relationship.
He is very disorganised and his timekeeping is appalling but he had so many other amazing qualities, I hardly notice it anymore!
I'm glad I didn't give up on him. We've been together for over a decade now and I couldn't imagine life without him.
In your shoes I'd give him another chance but I'm a fairly laid back, forgiving person (dh is eternally grateful for this!)

He has not let me down before.

He hasn't let me down in the past 5 years, fair enough.

He hasn't let me down in the past 2 months=8 weeks = a very low bar. And he lied and BSd = no words! Bin off.

He sounds very immature. I wouldn't care about the age gap but he sounds young for his age. Its bad enough he got drunk and fell asleep when he had plans with you, but to laugh it off?
If you let him off with this he will think its ok to do it again. I would bin him off.
