This evening i thought i was going to dinner with a friend of mine.So i got all dressed up and put on my smell good and what not.He comes ringing my door bell dressed in his worked clothes like he been working on the railroad or something.I was speechless.He was like "whats wrong with you".I had a serious attitude and i still have one with him.I made him leave and now he is calling from his cell in my parking lot blowing my phone up like he is gone crazy.Dont pay me any mind mylot members i just had to start this discussion since it just happened.Ever been stood up before? Should i let him in.He is still outside sitting in the car looking crazy.Left a voice mail asking "what did he do"

Gee, have a heart, disvachic! Let the poor guy in. You know that guys are notorious for being forgetful, LOL. If it was anything else he probably wouldn't have shown up at all. Be nice.

I agree. Guys are forgetful. At least he showed up at your place. You could have gone the whole evening wondering where the heck he was. That would get you more steamed. Let the guy in and tell him what he did wrong. He obviously doesn't know and he's not going to if you don't tell him.

I am a little confused, if he is not your man, then why would you be so upset. I would have wrote him off when I opened the door and saw him dressed like that.
If he is playing games like that, you don't need him. When he asked you out, knowing he had no money, was he expecting you to pay. If he was, then he is just too funny. I try to keep up, but I don't think I am THAT liberated.

i was upset for the simple fact i got all dressed up to sit around the house. true friends dont do this type of thing to each other if you feel me.i dont know what he was thinking because he set the date up this morning and now he is saying he has no money.I dont know what is going through his head but i dont have time for it and then he wonders why he's not my man.

I say teach his dumm A$$ a lesson. Let him sit out there and wonder. He asked to take you out and then comes over to sit in his work clothes. He should have said that in the first place. You have every right to be peed off with him. I bet he doesn't ever make that mistake again. Men have to be trained and sometimes it takes a long time. I read where you said he is just a friend, even if he is, he still has to be trained. Men can be stupid sometimes, hehehehe. Good luck.

Well, maybe his idea of a Date and your idea of a date could be something different, and maybe he is one that does not dress up.
Since this is a month old now, did you work out your differences with this guy, or are you dating someone else or what?

it sounds to me like he did seriously forget your date. Yes, I would let him in and talk it over. I dated a man that was forever doing stuff like this. He didn't mean to...he just would sometimes forget. ONce he asked me to cook him a home-cooked meal. I invited him over for dinner and spent the day purchasing and preparing the meal. He rolled in about 10pm and was not at all hungry. He'd eaten at mcdonalds! Mad? oh yes. He felt terrible. Stay mad? no...I forget things too. I say ...forgive him.

oops...i just read thru...he did not forget. No money? Well that is valid but does not excuse the fact that he did not call and let you know that plans were off. he should have at least done that. He needs to learn to respect your feelings and time which are equally as valuable as his are. ok so if he did not forget, then he should have called so you did not waste your time! I know if it were me, I'd be upset too. Does he do this often?

I know I'm very late in this one, but I just wanna say that you were right on your actions, and just forget about him. I know he is not your man, cause i read all of the thread and i was having long time ago same issues with one of my male friends and i haven't seen him for years. This kind of behavior is disrespectful. I just let him go in whatever direction he wanted to go. Btw, you react just like I do to things, so I gave you plus on all of your comments, and posted a friend request. Hope you'll approve me, tnx :)

Men. What is it with them and wearing work clothes that look like they have been worn by railroad workers? My boyfriend is likely to do just that as well. I think it is really embarrasing. I think people should try to look their best from time to time. It is pleasing both to themselves and others. he thinks it is completely unnessesary. Comfort is number one at all times. It is a mystery to me how it can feel comfortable to be vearing dirty clothes.

You're being wise. Don't pick up that phone. We teach people how to treat us. If you pick it up after ten or twenty or fifty calls, you've taught him that he can talk to you after ten or twenty or fifty calls. Can you put him on call block?
If this guy respected you, he wouldn't have created this situation at all. If he respected you, he wouldn't harass you. He'd do the right thing, accept responsibility for his poor decisions and -- most important of all -- accept that you have the right to decide who's in your life and who isn't -- whether he likes your decision or not.

for him to want to be my man this is a crazy move he pulled.If he knew he had no money he could've asked to relax at my spot and watch a movie instead of dinner.

You did good. Guys know what they do and what they're doing. We have to stop letting them hand us the "I'm too dumb to understand" excuses. If they're that dumb, they don't deserve us. When we refuse to explain, they usually fess up once they see the "dumb" act doesn't work, which means they knew all along. Isn't that exactly what he did?
He knew and tried to scam you. When you didn't fall for it, he fessed up: well, I was broke. He knew that in the morning when he asked you out or should have known it. He either had money in the morning or not. If he did, he should have held onto it out of respect for you. If he didn't, he knew he was wasting your time with a lie.
As to calling you so many times, that's obsessive and meant to dominate. It is what abusers and stalkers do. He figured if he harassed you enough, you'd give in and do what he wanted (hence the domination tag). It also kept you from being able to enjoy your evening without him, especially with another man. He made sure you knew he was sitting right down stairs and would create a scene if you called another man who wouldn't waste your time and energy.
You followed your instincts and should be proud. Women in general are taught to put up with disrespect and to respond to abusive men by being nice. Nice doesn't get it. Standing up for yourself will drive the abuser away long before he goes to pounding on your head. He wants a soft target, not a strong woman.
We owe it to ourselves to require respect from every person we associate with. If we don't look out for ourselves, no one will.
