My raging thoughts on being stood up... twice.

Now really, this topic can be summed up in one word, "WHY?"

Why do dudes do this? The last guy, *Dan stood me up a week ago, called & said his son dropped his phone in the toilet and he had to get his online bill to get my #. Sounds plausible. Also sounds like bullshit, so what do you do? The sad thing is, women (and yes, I mean me) believe this shit sometimes because well, it COULD happen, but the bottom line is, these excuses come up more than the ones I give my personal trainer (not really, but it's a good place to give an excuse). Anyway, I give him another chance, make a date for last night, text the night before and he says we're still on. Friday comes around and... NOTHING. The douchebag stood me up. I figure he is stage 4 (see previous post on douchebagitis).

Had I been in my 20's I might have let it go, but I've had a rough week and my anger went thru the roof so I made the phone call. It went like this, "Dan, this is Regina. I would never call, but I think you really should know that you are a douchebag doing this to me, especially knowing about the rough week I had. I just wanted to tell you what a complete cocksucker you are, so you know your true identity." I think it might sound psycho now, but DAMN that felt good!

So here I am today and I have another date and now this guy calls and says some bullshit about how he got called into work for an emergency. If that really happened, why wouldn't he have called me earlier when he GOT called in? Why text at like 5pm?? I think the guy is full of shit and wants to go out with his friends. Well fuckhead, don't make plans with me?

My anger level with guys is thru the roof. I'd like to explain to the guys out there... THIS is why girls treat you like shit. THIS is why we decide to be gold diggers and use you. I'm on the rampage. Dudes better watch out.

The "pencilled in" plans... and a new guy!

One of these days, I will understand members of the opposite sex, but today is not the day. The guy I meet 2 weeks ago *Dan tells me that he's dying to see me again, but last week flakes on me, then leaves a long voicemail saying his son was sick, blah blah blah (maybe so, but how long does it take to send a text?). We try again this week (he claimed he wanted redemption) and then does the SAME FREAKIN' thing. Don't call me once, shame on you. Don't call me twice, buh-bye. Says on Tuesday he wants to go out on Friday and will call me the next day. No call. No call ever. Jerk.

Guys in neighboring states are exactly the same... hmm.. maybe they are migrating south?? *Bill tells me we'll do lunch on Sunday and does the same flaky crap to me.

So what's a girl to do? I made another date! Yeah, bet the guys who do this think that their poor potential dates are so upset they are sitting home with a bowl of Ben & Jerry's and a death wish. Today's not that day either (although I've been there, done that). Met *Randy last night and had a great time. Only draw back? He's 9 years younger, which I'm not sure if that qualifies me as a cougar, but so be it. Drawbacks are that he has a roomate, which I haven't had since, well my 20's... but he's sweet & nice and seems like a good guy. How many times do I say that after a 1st date though? But we shall see.....
