Wow…you just have the worst luck with dating in NYC! I don’t know if it’s the women in the places you’re meeting them or what! I’m sure all women in NY are not like the ones you’re coming across. Good luck on your dating scene. Be careful. Seems like you’re running into some interesting women.

How does someone make plans and then stand ur date up? LOL. It sounds like that girl was into playing games. Cuz the excuses she came up with sounds typical of a person playing games. The easiest way to do that it to let ur date know that you either dont want to go out or you dont want to see them anymore. Why play games with peoples feelings? Im glad that you werent too phased by that. Stay strong brutha

she should have updated u on the situation. for that, she was wrong. * well it also seems u never asked her if she was involved.! becuz u can’t automatically think that she was single.

Getting Stood up is a good thing and a bad thing. I must say, we all have stood someone up and have been stood up by someone else, so why complain. Reading your story she’s doesn’t have an excuse unless, for example; she’s married and she couldn’t get away from the house. So, techniqually she didn’t stood you up, she lied to you and she really wanted to attend on the date and maybe her husband found out about it (I dont know why she stood u up, im judt giving u an example). You really don’t need our advice/comments on your situations. Only God would provide for you, only God will answer your prayers. God will send you Ms. Right and when he do you’ll know.

Wow I must say I am impressed by your writing style. That was a geat story is it true or just for entertainment? Nonetheless punctuality does count on all occasions especially when courting. Although I am a subsciber of CPT I do inform others if I have plans. I do not think its cool to leave someone hanging. Wow … TB

That is super bogus! Sistagirl should have at least called and made up an excuse! But, yeah punctuality is very important in all aspects of life especially during the ‘ship’ part of the courtship. I tend to think that if a person isn’t on time or has the courtesy enough to call me and let me know that they are running late, I am not that important to them. Those are the people that get deleted from my phone!

So after reading that I can understand how you feel. It sucks when someone stands you up for no reason. I just want the answer why not just call and cancel or saying Im running late. I hate people like that I just say oh well to them. I think when your first start dating yeah you should be on time maybe even early. I feel if your late and dont call then Im not imporant enough and our date didnt matter to you. She lost out on what seem to have been a cool date!

its always good to be on time but if your not text or call to let them know u running late or cancelling, its the least u can do.

First off Im so sorry that happened to you, I do understand what it feels like to think you hit it off with someone and then out of know where they are gone. But thats life and it does go on, just think of it as God is moving all the flops out of the way for your Woman to get through.

This didnt have anything to do with punctuality. This had something to do with a change of mind. After the phone conversation shawty replayed every sentence and word spoken. Just like you did. Yours replayed good vibes. Hers replayed . Hell naw. Shawty should of told when you called her. Hey Ive had a change of heart. In the dating game honesty should be the best policy. So many times we rather lie and get caught up, than tell the true and deal with it than. Anyway back to the question punctuality does count , If your on time that means to me Im your number one priority at that time. Now I live in Atlanta and i know traffic can cause a person to be late, but a cell phone call away is all it takes to ease my mine.

Now I must say that punctuality is important…however being considerate is another thing…girlie knew she had missed the mark (the set time)…but to add insult to injury she’s tell you she washing her dog???. and you still have to wait on her…It’s all good because it’s obvious that she had no home training anyway…it actually saved you future aggravation…

Life is like a drama to those who feel it and a comedy to those who think it…Alwayz TRUE

Mom always said “either your 5 minutes early or you just dont care!” I understand things come up, life is as unpredictable as love. But situations like this are unacceptable. Something was up… You will find your Princess and have a Cinderella Story of your very own. I am sure you are a true Prince Charming! xoxo

I am not sure what to say about her or her rudeness, not to mention she was the one chasing, however in answer to your question punctuality is important to me in or out of a relationship, wasting time is something I have learned not to do once gone it can’t be gotten back, so enjoy every moment as is if were your last.

Sorry you got stood up, but if it had been me I wouldn’t have stood you up. I guess she had second thought about the date and wasn’t women enough to tell you. I don’t think punctuality should be and issue with the type of life you live. “BUSY”

There’s never an excuse for being inconsiderate. A simple phone call with “there’s been a change in plans…” does wonders and leaves what’s left of the chemistry you thought you shared in tack. For those who lack common courtesy…”F@$% em!”

Sooo this neva eva happens again. If someone is late give them one call, and in the case of I overslept give em time to get it together and catch up with you. When it comes to a Weekend time waits for no one… Go with your day, kick it with visit family do you! And if u hear back from them great if not u still had a great day… Always be considerate but consider yourself at the same time. Ya dig?

She is probably in a relationship and felt guilty about hooking up with you or something. Other than that I dont see any reason 4 any1 to stand your fine ass up ;)

maybe she just wasnt interested and instead her being real and telling you upfront ,she just stood up

Well I think that was a funny little story, but everything has reasons 4 happening take it as, U didn’t lose out on nothing, & maybe she had someone else or she just known 4 playing game, & don’t know how 2 B real..

Well in this day and age I have found also being single in the city. It hurts to be stood up but the best part is she really was not worth your time. I am sure she did you a favor.

By: onlygrrl

onlygrrl — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 20:58:26 +0000

That was plain rude, and she was probably too simple to realize that she did you a huge favor…wouldn’t want your Woody and her Jessie to mingle to awfully long anyway…you’re better off she probably had little beyond the initial conversations to offer…

Punctuality is very important. As some other mentioned, you are lucky she showed her true colors right away. She was a coward for not calling you and explaining why she no longer wanted to take you with her. i’m sorry that you had to experience what most women experience more then once in their lives. I’ll never understand why people have to lie and tell you what they think you want to hear instead of the truth.

Good luck being Single anywhere these days.

hmmm… punctuality does count while courting, but only when dating the emotionally and mentally mature. the female you write of appears to either suffer from an insecure need to feel desired or simply thrives on gameplay. perhaps she wanted you to “chase” her? or better yet, maybe our “universe” sought to throw a monkey wrench in otherwise “unbalanced” plans.

this is the quickest way to get written off…FOREVER. i don’t care what “came up”. this early in the game you don’t even have to tell me what it is but please have the common courtesy to let me know you can’t make it. i get very mad when i waste my time…cosmetics and expensive perfume (AKA wasted product) the someone doesn’t show. i don’t have time or patience for games and that is probably why i am single…i like grow folks who can be real and those people seem to be few and far between. she was crazy for standing you up. you are a cutie pie :)

I say consider yourself blessed and fortunate that she showed her true colors right away. Sometimes, after we have become attached to someone, we tend to overlook what are obvious character flaws. Life is short and there is no time for games. I find it even more of an insult because she initiated the date. Keep looking and don’t settle for someone who does not share your values.
