So, I rushed on home from work... I pulled 9+ hours today, and somehow,y my boss didn't pay anyone, so I was already kind of off... Then, I had to stay an extra 45 minutes at work... Every one I was counting... I didn't want to be late for my first date with Mr SJP... I practically ran home, and changed. Called my friend over ((I decided to bring her with me.. for safety... She wouldn't be sitting with us, but just around--inconspicuously))...
I called, and spoke to Mr SJP the night before, to confirm, and he simply told me to call him an hour before I left to meet him... The meeting time was 8pm...
Not only was it ridiculously humid, but, somehow, torrential rains came down to wash the earth... I sucked it up, grabbed a HUGE umbrella and ran out in my mini skirt...
I nearly fell into a swimming pool of nasty NYC sewage water, and finally got on the train, to head to the city to him...
I called..... ...... ...... No answer... I shrugged it off.... Maybe he was just on his way...
I called, again... ... ... Still, no answer... Hmm... I thought... Hmmm...
I called, 5 more times.... .... .... and got no answer from him.
No text message, no voicemail... Suddenly, this Mr SJP was a figment of my imagination.
My train got delayed a few minutes, and I ended up being 26 minutes late. When I got to the coffee shop, there was no one there that fit his description... I sat, and waited... and called, and hung up, and waited...
Eventually, I gave up hope, defeated, and embarrassed... Mr SJP had stood me up... Or maybe, he didn't like late-comers... I was so confused... and defeated... and embarrassed... I was so excited to meet him...
I left the coffee shop, now in the city, with no plans, and a friend who'd witnessed my epic fail... We went to a deli, and ordered some food... And I thought... "Hmmm... let's try..."
I called another pot SD, that I knew worked nearby, and he picked up almost immediately. I asked him if he was free, and he was so excited to be meeting me... I admit, I put him on the spot, but I was feeling the burn from the first guy... He told me to "hang out for 30 min or so and he'd come to get me..."...
So, i waited... and ate... and sighed... and called Mr SJP again... to no prevail... And I sighed, and waited... The time somehow passed from 9-~10 pm... How did 30 minutes turn into never...???
Fact is, I got stood up... twice, in one night... by two pot SDs, that I'd never met before... Around 1am, when I was nearing my home on the train, I got a message from this pot SD... He apologized for not following through, and blamed it on a dead phone...
Ladies... *sigh*
I know this better be the worst it gets... I am s bummed about tonight...

First off it is called "Fashionably Late," and all men should come to expect that. Hey, you cannot create perfection in 5 mins or less. LoL:-)
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, having flakes is what can happen in the Sugar World. You will learn how to do a couple of things to minimize or not have to deal with that period. But let me first say you are NOT the first and unfortunately not the last to deal with a flake:-( Sorry about that, especially having to deal with that horrible sounding weather.
1. Touch base with the Pot before you meetup in whatever way you feel comfy ie. email, text, phone call, smoke signals, etc. same day or within a couple of hours before meeting. I let it be known if I don't hear anything from the Pot the day of, I will assume something came up, and the plans have changed.
2. Your screening process and listening to how serious this dude really is after dealing with dummies gets much better. Some guys will promise you the sun, the moon, and ALL the stars before you've ever met face-to-face. Why anyone would get a "thrill" out of wasting time talking with someone and setting up a date...yet having no intentions on meeting is beyond me.
Side note: A mini skirt, girl?! Where were you meeting, the club? LoL:-)
lol... It was a body con skirt... It was cute, and I had on a long boyfriend blazer to kind of make it more casual...
ReplyDeleteBut thanks... The weather was HORRIFIC!!!! But I still made it out... He didn't respond to any messages today, so I'm putting him away in files... If he ever comes back up, there'll have to be major make ups for this...

Oh you poor thing. Well don't feel bad. I've had a flake too already. Luckily I did what Butterfly said, try to get in contact with him before the date. Yup all of my calls and texts ignored...so I just assumed that he'd be no show loser like he is. We had an amazing dialog prior...so why he fell off the face of the earth...who knows? Just think, that for every two losers, there's a winner, so keep looking, and keep your chin up :)
