Well, for the second time, stupid shit ruined a meetup. My phone died, the place was permanently closed and I waited in the hot sun for an hour after just managing to have enough battery to call her and let her know about a Starbucks across the street. She got lost because my terrible directions compounded the situation and now everything is ****ed up.

No it's not... just ask her to reschedule, and let her choose the place this time. Laugh about what happened with her (with self-irony, NOT self-deprecation), it's actually a good bonding experience - negative experiences always are, when you share them with someone.

She hung up on me after I tried to call her once I got home. I really, really, REALLY needed this one to pull through.

I decided to wait until tomorrow/later. Got drunk and pondered if this might have been another blown chance and if 4 times is asking too much of life..

Oh yeah. It's THAT simple. Although I do have 2 meetups within the next 4 days...one is purely platonic, sadly.

Doesn't anyone have a sense of reserve anymore? I mean, you post *anonymously* on this site to get help for your problems. Why? Because you don't want your issues publicly aired, right?
My SO and I shared a lot about each other after meeting online, but only b/c we really connected. We certainly didn't e-vomit on each other in our profiles before we even met. Beware those who overshare. There is a fine line between 'honestly' and 'drama', IMO.Second thoughts can generally be amended with judicious action; injudicious actions can seldom be recovered with second thoughts.

I had guys who I didn't connect with. One was rather aggressive on the phone (DJMan for those who know) but I simply thanked him for his time and ended the conversation respectfully for both of us. I would never hang up unless someone was abusing me.Last edited by IndiReloaded; 24-06-13 at 01:54 AM.

She was so cute. And she gave me a CHANCE! 99.99% of girls wouldn't and won't! The stars aligned for this to nearly happen and then they completely split to just completely **** me over.

You get too invested in girls you don't even know. Hell, you should be more upset if your LF moms here told you to stuff it, but I don't think you would be.
Why is that?
You gave HER a chance, YC. Flip your thinking, doll.
Ah well, my lazy Sunday morning has elapsed. Cooking for the week done, must raise the teenager out of his cave to meet the day. Get some exercise. Ciao, young man. Go forth and ask another girl out, okay?Second thoughts can generally be amended with judicious action; injudicious actions can seldom be recovered with second thoughts.

It's hard not to when landing a date would be akin to getting a cushy job during the height of The Great Depression.
Well, it'll be a few months before I get another chance to **** up. I'll keep trying and failing."1,2,3,4.....The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power-drive!"

First meet failed horribly. Other dating-oriented girl might have flaked. All that remains is meeting Platonic Girl today.
