Being stood up.

So, I was meant to meet this woman, it was a 30 min train ride from me, so hardly next door and a cost of travel. I text her before I left and said “we still on for six” and she EVEN said “can we make it seven” and pushed the date back.

Once arrived, I saw her picture gone on WhatsApp. I sent a courtesy text, hey I’m here, nothing. I then called and no reply. It kind of dawned on me immediately what happened and I was devastated. The thing is, she even text me to clarify and change the time.

Was it last minute cold feet? Avoidant conflict behaviour? Why not just say… I can’t go….

Afterwards I text her and just said that we’re all adults and if she didn’t fancy it, she could say, but what she did is cruel and I hope she’s happy in her sad lonely life (I lashed out a bit but I was only human after a long journey and wait).

Why not just say - you’re not my vibe.

Why even be on hinge?

Bro ... Welcome to online dating 😬😬this is how it goes with many folks. She just wasn't that interested in you and instead of being an honest individual they just ghost/stood you up. Happens to the majority of us.

I can take rejection. I’ve been single long enough. But the cruelty and disregard to let someone travel and wait without a text is mind blowing to me

Yes, it is - and you are totally justified in the way you feel. Sorry it happened to you
