Quick - would you get ready for this old or assume I'm stood up ?

[stillvicarinatutu]

Been talking to a guy for a few days - arranged to meet tonight in a restaurant near me .
Heard nothing all day . Not replied to any messages or answered calls.
Table booked for 8.30.
He'd need to set off at 7 realistically to pick me up - he said he would but hasn't asked my address.
I've text asking if I should get ready or not or cancel and nothing .
This happened to me last weekend too with a different guy and I was stood up .
Do I assume he isn't coming .
Cancel and get pjs on ?
Or get ready and feel like a pillock when he doesn't show ?

Assume he isn’t coming.

Please don't give out your address to strangers. I know he hasn't asked but never do this and arrange to meet somewhere safe.

Jeez why are you still texting and calling someone that’s ignored you?! 🤦🏻

Aren't you a copper? Why would you giving your address to randoms off the internet?

And no, he's not coming. Sorry. It's horrible and rude but it's them,not you.

Who suggested the date? You or him?

Assume he's not coming.

That's one more loser you can cross off your list, anyway.

If he'd changed his mind, fair enough, but not letting you know is shit.

Giving him your address?? Are you mad. Also dinner for first date is overkill. Try a coffee first in a public area.

PJs & Telly tonight - sorry.

And I second other PPs - never give out your address.

A quick 'coffee date' is enough to start.

And don't call him anymore !

I haven't given my address obviously!

I'd have met him somewhere near as he had offered to pick me up .

He hasn't t been in touch - I had a missed call at 8.30 am then nothing all day and he'd need to be setting off around now .

I really don't need safety advice 😂.

My address is under wraps trust me .

Well tbh getting into a strangers car isn’t exactly wise is it?

If you turn up and he does happen to be there, you're clearly indicating to him that you've set your bar pretty low with regards to his communication (lack of) and behaviour.

Fuck him off. Block him.

OK, I'm pleased he doesn't have your address but it's not safe getting into a strangers car.

Dodged a bullet OP. Hope you enjoy a chilled night in

Nope, he's not coming. And I'd say at this point, even if he rang, how desperate do you want to look?

But, henceforth, arrange to meet somewhere, instead of being collected. Don't put yourself "at their mercy" for transport.

Done thanks guys .
Jesus this old thing is just an absolute cattle market. Never been stood up before then Twice in two weeks !

I could have got myself there no issue - and I had t given my address- but I'd expected some co formation he was coming - he's offered to collect me doesn't mean I'd have taken him up on that but the bigger issue is zero contact to say he was coming.we were meant to meet for coffee yesterday then he said he'd left his bank card in a pay at pump petrol station - had to go back - said he could either meet for half an hour yesterday due to that or meet for a bite to eat tonight which sounded reasonable enough. Clearly bullshit now but hey ho.
Dunno . He looked a lot older in person (we had FaceTimed ) than his profile anyway .

Next . 🤷🏻‍♀️

Exactly

Don't get into a car with someone you've never met. For fucks sake woman.

He ain't coming!

So it's basically a repeat of yesterday then?

Enjoy putting your feet up this evening. Old is just something else these days.

You don't need safety advice (😂), but were planning on getting in a stranger's car?
I think you probably do. Don't get in strangers cars.
And regards to OLD, if they don't show up to first date for 'insert whatever reason' they're not going to show up to the second date either.

Sounds like an absolute waster.
Block him and on to the next.

I have no idea why I need to clarify this again but I had t arranged for him to pick me up given him my address or was going to get into his car .

He had offered and I hadn't said yes to any of that - he hadn't been in touch to clarify ANY arrangements other than the booking .
The point was no contact today . The day we were meeting.

It's a repeat of last weekend not last night !
I've only ever been stood up twice in 2 years of old but weirdly one was last weekend and then tonight .

Just been on his WhatsApp to block and he changed his status to can't be bothered to speak to anyone who can't be bothered to speak to me
I'd missed a call at 8.30 am - but he had missed mine last night ?
So he's ignored me and stood me up cos I missed one call ?
Jesus . This old thing has changed a bit !

Lucky escape then OP.

Updating his status 😂
