There was a guy from this site that I was talking to a couple of years ago. He would call me every day, several times, and we would talk and talk and talk. It was almost too much really. He would call me from his car on the way to work, call me during lunch, call me at night. Anyway, I did kind of like him, but I thought the constant attention he was giving me was a red flag and it seemed like he was too desperate to have this work out....like putting the cart before the horse before we have even met. I started to get the feeling that he was a man on the rebound who just wanted to hook up and have someone to move on with. At any rate, I wanted to see it through, and after 2 weeks we made plans to meet. I was all dressed up and spiffed out and went to the restaurant where we were scheduled to meet..it was inside of a hotel. I waited in the lobby...and waited....and waited, and he never showed up. It was the most humiliating experience of my life. The hotel staff behind the desk saw me calling him from my cell over and over. I thought maybe he had been in an accident or something. No answer every 10 minutes. I was so bummed out, and after about 45 minutes or so, I was pretty certain that I had been officially stood up. When I got home I called his house and a female answered the phone. The kicker in all of this was when I was waiting for him in the lobby and I decided to step outside to have a smoke. A guy who had been sitting at the bar inside the restaurant came outside a minute or two later and also lit up a cigarette. He introduced himself to me, he was divorced, lived locally, was nice looking, and was a great conversationalist. I told him that I was waiting on someone that I think was standing me up. He finished smoking, and before he went back in he told me that if the guy doesn't show up I should come into the bar and he'd buy me a drink. I considered it, but I felt so down mentally, that I just couldn't bare the thought of socializing. At that moment I didn't see it as the silver lining that it could have been. I really regret that I didn't take him up on the offer. I left the hotel and went to the grocery store and bought a fucking cannoli cake instead. lmaooo. Stupid bitch
