I Can't Believe This!!!

I know--what the heck am I doing home on a Saturday night. In fact, if you could see me through this computer screen, you'd say, "Why are you made-up, with gorgeous hair and a bit of cleavage showing and sitting in front of the computer on a Saturday night?"

Well, ladies and gentlemen, for the first time in my online dating career (and it does feel like a second job, quite often), I have been stood up.

Here's the weird thing, when I was getting ready to walk out the door, he calls and asks what I am doing.

"Getting ready to walk out the door to meet you. Why?"

"Well, I'm already here."

"OH! Did I say we'd meet at 6:30? I thought I said 7:00!"

"No. You said 7:00."

"Well, I am walking out the door as we speak, and I'll be there in about 20 minutes."

So, we were meeting in front of a rock climbing wall at a sports store, so I thought, maybe he is just browsing. He is, after all, a boy loose in a sports store!

I called his cell and left a message that I was there.
I waited.
A half hour later, I called again, and said I was getting strange looks, so I was going to walk around a bit, call when he gets to the wall. Finally at 7:45, I walked around the wall one more time, called him, left a message that I was leaving, and assumed I was stood up and that I would just talk to him later...Maybe.

Okay, there could be a good reason, but unless there was a blood transfusion needed, or he is hailed as a hero on the 10 o'clock news for saving the life of a child who was about to be abducted, I'm not interested.

It is bad enough to have them not call after you meet, but another altogether to not show up!

And why do I have a feeling he saw me and just thought, "I am NOT going out in public with her!" and scrammed?

I have a date lined up for tomorrow--wish me luck! And hope that he shows up!
