I get called middle of the week by a gal who was given my name and number. We talk - things seem possible - and we set a date to meet this morning at a museum in her town, and exchange cell phone numbers. She request dress up for the first date (instead of casual). No problem - slacks, dress shoes, coat and tie.
Traffic was bad so I call and leave a message on her cell phone about 10 minutes prior to 10 to inform that I was running a bit late but should be there by quarter after (I''m driving over an hour to get to her town, and usually the drive takes about 50 minutes). I get there 10 after - and am the museums first customer of the day....
She never shows. I call about 40 minutes later after wandering through the museum and leave a message of concern (did something go wrong?) or that perhaps there was a mistake on my part on the time - and give me a call.
After that, I head off to help my parents (about 2 hours further away).
My mom loved the rose assortment I gave her, and I did tell her about the date that went astray as the source of the roses... (and she loved them anyway).
Got home at 8 PM tonight, and no message on my home phone either. I never recieved any calls on my cell phone.
Now maybe something happened and she could not make it. But, I''ve had similar "first date" experiences before.... where the gal never showed up and never talked to me again.
It makes a guy wonder why.... even though I developed a tough skin on the issue.
I here so many gals talk that they can''t find a decent guy. Hmmmm is all I can think to say.
At least the roses found a good home and are appreciated.
