Stood up for the first time

March 07 2013

There we sat ,just the two of us.Sipping our drinks and waiting.Checked the watch again,half hour late already.We could handle that but the babysitter might start and get a bit tired if we come home too late.Next thing the waitress comes up to us and informs us we need to get our meals ordered as the kitchen will be closing soon. What to do! We have shared a few messages with this coupleThey seem genuine..We have met validated friends of theirs in the flesh at drinks nights so we know they are real.Maybe they are just running extra late as the are coming from quite some distance for a conference the following day.We had exchanged messages just the night before,arranged babysitters,showered,shaved and plucked everything that needed to be done and yet here we sit all on our own.A bit disapointed as we don't get much free time and babysitters are quite hard for us to arrange. We finally decide to text and see how far away they are only to be told they are sitting at home and it is the following night we are meant to be meeting. No that can't be!! When we do get home we go through the messages and its all there in black and white-we stuffed up. In the end everything worked out well (very well actually-lol) the following night but they must have thought we were raving mad when we messaged asking how long before they were arriving. Which gets us to the question. What mistakes has anyone made or simply gotten their wires crossed when meeting others for the first time? Mr Luvsilver.

You had me going for a minute... For gods sake, I thought, who would stand these guys up? Lol! I'm always messing these things up. I often accidentally double book myself and have to back out and re-schedule. It's embarrassing!

I was going to post a mea culpa the other day (under title above), but thought it self-indulgent as an OP. This one is much better, hilarious! I was recently *that guy*. I showed some interest, then went quiet, like some phantom. Poor girl had to text to find out if I was dead. She was very polite about it... I was *sure* I'd sent a message saying I can't call for a couple of days. But appears I hadn't. Lazy, bad mannered and so very shit head man. We hadn't even met and I'd screwed it!- Posted from rhpmobile

As one of my long time favourite couple profiles, I would have told you to wait right there ' Im on my way.. lol.. but I understand its harder for a couple to do the same when they probally need time to get prepared , manicuring etc.Must of been frustrating sitting waiting waiting' then the added pressure to order dinner and nothing happening.. Never been in that position before' but I can imagine.. Least there was a good reason and it all finallycame togetherI was feeling bad for you guys up until you said you got it all sorted out and seemingly had a good time. Anyway' all's good that ends good.. Jay..

Nooooo, we never thought you were loopy, we just felt so BAD for you knowing firsthand how hard it can be to organise meets. Oh well, all's well that ends very well ;)

My ex and I once made a similar mistake. I was doing the grocery shopping and we agreed he would collect me at a certain time to go to an open house, in another suburb well known to us. We agreed he'd pick me up outside the Commonwealth Bank. After 20 minutes of waiting I called, asking where he was. His response: Across the street from the bank, in front of the butcher, next to the bottle shop. I searched, but couldn't find him anywhere. Another 10 minutes later we finally figured out we were waiting for each other in different suburbs. With the same shops, in an almost identical layout. Cue big fight...
