One of lives great mysteries!

Why do people stand other people up? I mean really is it as buttercup says that peoples fear consume them to a point that they just can’t imagine going on the date? Or is it that people are just rude, flakes and disrespectful? I mean if you are so fearful why date at all or here’s a concept why not cancel the date? I just don’t understand.

So I was supposed to have a date last night with Matt. Matt’s the Italian from New York, motorcycle rider, operation manager, the one that pretty much asked me out right after replying to my ad. Anyhow we were supposed to go out last Saturday and it didn’t happen for work reasons on his part. I understood and said we could reschedule. He asked me out for Tuesday and then I don’t hear from him again until Tuesday morning despite the step up, I need more attention text on Monday.

I had pretty much written him off on Monday as I hadn’t heard from him, till Tuesday morning he texts me pretty much apologizing and begging me to go out with him. I relented (hey I was intrigued) so we were to meet at 6:30 for sushi in MM. Despite having a pounding headache that has since turned into a migraine I showed up. 10 minutes before our date I get a text from him stating he got a flat and was running late. I said okay I’d get us a table.

So at this point I’m thinking how long do you wait? 10 minutes pass, 15 20, I text him asking how long he will be. I text buttercup who says wait 30 minutes. So I wait, I order an appetizer and ice tea. 40 minutes past I text stating that it appears he is standing me up I’m going to order. I order have AN AWESOME sushi dinner ALONE L and leave.

The old me would have called him up leaving a nasty angry phone call, text and blew up his phone. The new approach was to just delete him from the phone and move on.  I mean really what is the point in getting upset over his actions? I had a great dinner, caught up on some texts and emails and was home before 830.

So ultimately he weeded himself out of the garden, because my awesomeness is just too great for some to handle. And he obviously couldn’t handle it!

I’ll admit though there is still a lingering question in the back of my head of what happened. Why would he do that? Alas there are plenty of mysteries of the world that I’ll never have answers to and this is obviously one of them; well not a big mystery, but one nether less a head scratcher.
