last night. It really hurt my feelings. Why do people do this? Why do people think it is okay to intentionally hurt other people?

first off find out the reason why! because i was made at this guy for the longest time because i thought he stood me up at the movies when actually we both went to the wrong theater because when we set up the date i thought he meant showplace 16 when he thought i mean movies 14.. but other than that if it was intentionally then people are just plain mean!

I don't know why he stood me up. I suppose I should find out first. But I would like to think that if he had stood me up for a good reason, he would've at least called me.

I hate when that happens, especially for a date. Does the other person not realize that you went to some trouble to prepare, what to wear? etc.? I think it's just plain ignorant to stand someone up. Understandably things happen, but would it hurt to call and say so. The way I see it if someone stands me up for a date, odds are they aren't the kind of person I want to date anyway and it's best to find out at the start instead of once you are attached. If it were me I would call the person and ask them your question, Why do they think it's okay to intentionally hurt other people? and put them on the spot. I'd love to know how this turns out for you.

You make an excellent point. If he is someone who would stand me up, why would I want to date him anyways? I think I will call him up. Any bets as to whether he answers his phone?

let me say that if he stood you up and on top of that did not call you, guess what thank him the next time because he just showed you he is not the one, because that is the wrong way to start any kind of relationship..If you ask me you can do better find some one who will atleast call...

Standing someone up is like the worst move in dating (other than cheating) if you didn't want the date in the first place, don't make it ya know. Have the guts to go through with it and not hurt me in the process. So sorry the jerk stood you up. Even if his excuse is good, he should have called.

he may have been just a jerk or scared. thats my best guess on why people get stood up, they get scared and can't go through with it. but of course most people do it by accident. either they forgot or they get held up by work and arrive late, after you've left. i don't like to think people hurt people intentionally, but it does happen. don't think too much into it. its NOT your fault. it was all him.
