Posted: 10/1/2006 5:31:02 PM | So, here we go, can people of different sexes truly be friends?
Absolutely people of the opposite sex can truly be friends. My best friend is a guy and we have been best friends for 15 years. To answer all those predictable questions...no we never slept together, yes he is very attractive and no he isn't gay. I love that I can get his male perspective about anything and I know he will tell me what I need to hear, not always what I want to hear. | |

Posted: 10/1/2006 5:59:27 PM | Thank you for all of your input. Every one of you made very good points. Sometimes when I am close to a situation, I can't for the life of me see what it is I need to do. I guess when it comes down to it, he needs a friend who would put up with his shenanagans. Honestly, the last thing he said was, "I'll call you on Sunday." No, I will not give him another chance. What is that saying? Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
So, anyhow, like I said I appreciate you taking time to write all the cool stuff that you did. I, totally, feel good about just saying hi and keep on going. Bravo to all of you. | |

Posted: 10/1/2006 6:13:43 PM | Mustangsally, if his last words to you were "I'll call you on Sunday" then he definitely does not deserve another chance.
He made a promise to call and he went back on that. That's bad.
Unless of course there was some sort of emergency, then maybe it's understandable. But, I expect the odds of that are quite small. | |

Posted: 10/1/2006 6:38:08 PM | I agree with terminal on this one...if he is alive and well on Monday then there is no excuse for him not to have called you. If passengers on the airplanes whose lives were in grave danger were able to sneak in a final call home during the 911 hijackings, I highly doubt that he didn't have a 30 second window of opportunity to call and not leave you hanging like that---it's common courtesy!  | |

Posted: 10/1/2006 6:41:12 PM | Hi, I saw this post probably too late. You could forgive him if his car crashed and burned on the way to your date. Some guys told me to think this way after I was stood up the same way years ago. Turned out they were right. The guy who stood me up was divorced but still living with his ex-wife.
You sound like me when I first became single after marriage. I met so many that wanted to play with my emotions. It was because they saw I had problems. I was a magnet for people who wanted to play.
I'm finding this out years later now that I'm with a needy son. Really every con artist in neighborhood is trying to befriend me to get something out of my yard that they want.
I must say that you look a very young 50. So either you have a sense of humor in your profile or you kept yourself young in other ways. naive perhaps?
take care | |

Posted: 10/1/2006 6:59:39 PM | | Even if he has a good reason, there is no excuse for not calling you and letting you know he could not make it... nobody deserves to be stood up. If he has a good reason,and ask you out again, tell him you undertand that things happen, and you would love to go out with him, but if he cann't make it, that you would appreciate a phone call. | |

Posted: 10/1/2006 7:12:22 PM | I hope you did not waste the whole day waiting for that call.
I would have gone out . Then you would have an excuse when he accidentially bumps into you on Monday
If he says " I sorry I got caught up"
Simply say:.
"No problem I waited till 12 and then I made other plans" And walk away like the woman you are

Posted: 10/1/2006 9:43:13 PM | Here's a fun little trick you can do... Next time you see him you can say:
"Oh! Some old friends from out of town came around my place and we ended up going out. Sorry I couldn't go out with you on Sunday."
He'll be squirming on the inside. There is a chance he will probably ask you out again, to which you can reply "Sorry, i've got to go floss my cat". | |

Posted: 10/2/2006 4:52:01 AM | Once again, people not reading....
They are not CO-WORKERS. They both work in the same large building. Very different from working 3 cubes over and two down.
And confrontation would be letting him know it bothered you.
The bottom line is that if he is this unreliable, you really want to date him anyway?
"Getting the last word" doesn't mean anything. In fact it shows a bad side of you. You were right to let it go.
What I like is when a guy suggests "Let's get together and do something sometime" and women see that as him asking for her a date. This was apparently a little more pointed since a specific day was mentioned, but that other thing happens WAY too much. | |

Posted: 10/2/2006 7:35:01 AM | | don't let his poor judgement get the better of you. Act as if nothing happened. If something really did come up that warrants not being able to have the courtesy to call and cancel, then maybe give him another chance. But don't seek out answers for this time. | |

Posted: 10/2/2006 3:16:08 PM | That is indeed a real burger, and it is at Denny's Beer Barrel Pub in Clearfield PA.
They have a web site showing their burgers. That isn't even the big one. 
That one is 6 pounds of meat, a total just under 11 pounds.
Did NOT finish, but Google Kate Stelnick and you will be shocked at what you see. | |

Posted: 10/2/2006 5:46:14 PM | Just say a polite hi and ignore him. Let him come to you, and if he doesn't, then no loss!
I ran into a guy I met a couple years ago earlier today...said 'Hi' to him, he said hi back and I left it at that...walked away...no harm, no foul.

Posted: 10/2/2006 7:30:56 PM | | It was inconsiderate but I agree with some of the others that it is best not to get hostile or to burn your bridges. Maybe he will apoligize. Otherwise, when you see him, just say hi and try not to think about it. If he asks you again decline and tell him maybe another time. If he is very persistant you might give him one more change but don't wait around for his call. | |

Posted: 10/4/2006 5:19:02 PM | I agree with everyone who has said one way or another...when/if you see him,say hi and walk on like nothing happened...absolutely,DO NOT bring it up first...he started it,it's up to him to make it right.
I also agree with all those who said..NEVER date anyone at work..or even in the same bld. | |

Posted: 10/4/2006 6:59:04 PM | he just simply changed his mine isnt he allowed?? 
Of course he's allowed: everybody has the right to change one's mind, but that's not the point.
He owed her the basic courtesy of a call to say he couldn't make it, even if after the fact when he could get to it (assuming something came up and he had no way to phone in time to cancel). He wasted her time, not to mention insulting her by blowing her off without a word. Whether or not he had changed his mind is no excuse for being inconsiderate. | |
