When a person says they will call or show up and dosen't...........

In any relationship where someone says that they will call you back or you make plans and they stand you up. I have had someone do this to me a few times all he said was well I was at work late( ok I understand that area) But than the last time I got stood up it was because he was out drinking with his roomate. I only seen him about once a week. I am wondering if it is worth even continuing the realationship. ( hard2forgetlady's friend)

I think you know the answer to your question, but if you don't it is simple. If you like to be with someone that lies to you, fine keep seeing him. If you don't, then stop seeing him.

Well, I have had this same thing happen to me. From this point it got progressively worse. Althought my now ex did agree that the more time we spent apart the less obligated she felt to spend time with me. In the end it was her who broke up with me. Its not worth putting yourself through the worrying and the thinking. So therefore id say its not worth continuing it. First though I think you should get an explaination from this person as to where he thinks this relationship is going. Just remember to not put words in that persons mouth. Doing that only leads to that person telling you what you want to hear.

You want validation that this guy is a dork....he is a dork...don't be so desperate that you HAVE to accept this dude as THE ONE AND ONLY..

common excuses...working/working late/I had a flat tire/I ran out of gas/I had to mow the lawn/I locked my keys in the car/I was standing in line at the bank and they got robbed.. ?he was out drinking with his roomate????RIIIIGHHHHHTTTTT

I do the three strikes your out ....disrespectful dorks

It's all a matter of tit for tat.
Treat people right who treat you right.
I know, with a lot of people actually living up to what they say is really a coin flip.
Maby they will, maby they won't.
If they can't do what they say they will, and have so little respect for you, or anybody else, just let them go.
They're getting what they deserve.

There's is no point holding on to someone that hasn't shown you the respect and commitment that you've tried to communicate to him. I have a close friend that is going through a similar things, and honestly, I would tell her the same thing (but I know she won't listen...I guess she's afraid of heartbreak). Hopefully things work out for the best.

if once a week is enough, then continue, if once a week is not enough, then you got a problem

It's amazing to me the things that have become so typical. Why is it
that this is the norm, and not the exception? I'll tell you why, lol...it's
because this is a friggin dating buffet! As long as there's something
more to sample, the insanity will continue.


I've never been stood up, and a missed call or two doesn't bug me.
However, I did have a recent experience in which he managed to do
both, in a round about way. We were chatting via phone a couple days
ago about our upcoming date and I mentioned that I'd started my period.
At the end of the conversation, he told me he'd call me as usual once I
got home from work...he always calls within minutes of my walking in the door.
However, he didn't call and I fell asleep. When I woke up, in my state of being half asleep, I did something I don't normally do---I called him. I got his voicemail, so I told him I was going online (which meant my phone would be busy and he wouldn't be able to get through) and that I'd talk to him some other time. When I got online, I realized he'd sent me an email at the exact time I was supposed to get home from work. Hmmm....
The email said he was off to see his mom and that he'd call me later. He didn't.
Though I've sent him two emails telling him of my observations and deductions, I haven't heard a word from him.

It seems having my period made me less "worth" meeting.

Hi Hard2forgetlady!

Sorry to hear about the empty promises.....there are people like that.....what will it be like when you marry this guy? hmmmmmm

You are young, beautiful, and I believe intelligent enough to answer this question yourself... Might be nice for you to turn to some of the activities you enjoy and getout and quit waiting around for a person that has distanced themselves -go camping , fishing , hiking, dirt biking, quading and to the beach for volley ball.

I believe many feel a relationship is based on two people who care and love each other....and yes they do want to be around each other.

I wish you all the best.....

No way. If a guy stands me up he'll need a notarized note from the Emergency Room doctor proving he had a life threatening accident.....annnnnnndddddd all phone service was out.

Funny Girl,

If your analysis of the events is correct, then this Fukker simply wanted a one-night stand. It sounded like this was a first meeting (right?) and finding out about your period disappointed this jackass. Don't let him get to you as this IS PLENTYOFFISH.

Right. But not EVERYONE is like this. Certainly, alot are and we become jaded from all this BS.

OP, I don't care if the relationship is gf/bf, friends, family, etc...if someone says they'll call, be there, do something, etc., then they should do it...and if they can't, then the minimum they should do is call to say they can't. Standing someone up, without an adequate reason and/or without letting them know, is rude, inconsiderate, and simply unacceptable behavior. In today’s' world with cell phones, there's really no excuse for not calling someone if the need to cancel arises. And when it comes to a relationship, continually being stood up can only happen to you if *you* let it happen. And once you let it happen more than one time, he knows he can do it anytime he wants and you'll still be there. You're already asking yourself if it's worth it...now ask yourself - aren't you worth more than that? Yes, you are. Best of luck to you.

if someone says they are gonna call, they should call
if they say they are gonna visit, they should visit
i don't take very kindly to being stood up, or any such bs
being stood up hurts,
i dont give people a chance to do it twice
screw that

Your answer in a few words: ditch, reject, dump, cast away, jettison, fling, crap, lose, scrap.
Choose your favorite and move along. It's not worth it. I know, I know, he all seemed so lovely and carrying and
the... right one, but alas it wasn't. Move along, move along, there is only indifference here left to linger and suffocate the air...
