I’ve been texting with this guy for about a week. I was out of town, and when I got back, we planned to meet for coffee, but he had to cancel last minute. He gave me a valid explanation, and I had other plans that night anyway. Later that night, around 12:30 a.m., he texted me asking to meet up, but I said no, obviously.
The next day, he apologized and told me he was leaving town but really wanted to see me when he got back. We scheduled a date for yesterday. He mentioned he needed to do a quick favor for a friend — just pick up a phone — and asked if I was okay with it. I said it was fine. (I live a third world country)
But when we got there, things didn’t go as planned. The person with the phone needed help with a translation, and we ended up sitting there with four people at the table, waiting for over an hour and a half. It wasn’t his fault, and he did apologize, but we barely got to enjoy the date.
I don’t know how to feel about it. I know he didn’t mean for it to go that way, but it also felt like my time wasn’t valued.
