Have You Ever Been Stood Up?

This topic was created in the Relationships forum by Chuckcem on Monday, April 10, 2017 and has 24 replies.
Have you ever had a friend, romantic interest, or significant other not show up after setting plans? If so, what happened?


Have YOU ever stood someone up as well? If so, why?

details
Yes. He was a school friend.......and a fucking Libra. Bitch was supposed to pick me up from the shopping center near his place. I waited for 2 hours, he wasn't answering the phone.


I ended the "friendship".

My Taurus bff has a tendency to do that. She'll say she's coming to my place after work but then she'll never show. And she literally works 1/4 of a mile away from where I live. I used to call her up all angry, but now I just let it slide; I have other things to do.

My Pisces and Scorpio bff's are always wayyy late. I'm talking 2-4 hours after our scheduled hangout time ? So sometimes I just have to cancel.

Everyone else gives me a straight up "I will not be coming".

I don't stand people up per se, but I have cancelled dates the day before. Just lost interest or got too nervous. But I'll always tell you if I won't come.

No I was lucky I wasn't stood up


I may have stood up, I think? That's the thing... Even when I say no, they don't take it as a no...And I wasn't very good at drawing boundaries. I believe I have improved on this a lot. There were times when I would tell them where I would be at and they would end up at the same place and expect me to hang out with them.
Well if you tell a guy "No" and he still tries to meet up with you, that's his error not yours. Though definitely don't tell the guy where you're going to be. Some guys are creepy.

Yes and no. Beginning of our relationship we had plans and last min he cancelled on me, he couldn't make it due to work, I was disappointed but after he explained we talked he apologized I believed he deserved another chance.


I almost walked away without listening to him but here we are almost a year & 1/2 later.... still holdin on.

Were you already at the location to meet up?

You know what weird? Out of ALL of the signs that have stood me up, it was another Leo. This Leo also has a Virgo moon I believe, so it was even weirder. I've dated a Libra and an Aqua and never had an issue with last minute cancellations or being stood up by either them.

Yes and yes.





Shit happens sometimes. I really don't care about it unless the event was something of importance or they do it frequently.



You're more patient than I am. I never stand people up and never expect to be. I'm just too busy, so if someone doesn't value my time the same way I value theirs, they are GONE.


The Leo I mentioned actually called me up to meet for dinner and drinks. I hadn't heard from her in years, so wasn't sure what she wanted aside from catching up. We set a time and a place, then right before I was supposed to meet her I shot her a text saying I was running a few minutes late, so she should grab a table. She responded apologizing that she forgot and was on the other side of town. She asked if we could reschedule, so I told her to reconfirm with me next week because I'm too busy for last minute cancellations.


Long story short she rescheduled with me and paid for dinner. I arrived late because I was annoyed by the cancellation the week before. We wound up having a good time and she gave me an open invite to hang out with her in the future. I never took her up on it because I decided to date someone else.

I was never stood up since I never meet sketchy people online... But I stood up on this one kid from college who constantly pestered me to do his homework for him. He was being unfair and a cheater, and that is what he deserved. Hope the little bugger learned his lesson.

I'm actually a very impatient person, but only about things that matter to me.




Lack of human interaction doesn't bother me. Therefore, when plans fall through I'm cool with it.




Sounds like you overreacted though. I can understand doing it more than once, but shit happens. People aren't perfect.



At least she apologized, rescheduled, showed up, AND paid for dinner. She didn't deserve all of that over one mess up.

Eh maybe, I was more annoyed that she wanted to meet up, then canceled because she got a call from her ex. She apparently got so flustered that she forgot our plans. I don't care about cancellations, but if it's last minute there needs to be a better reason than "I forgot", especially if I change my own plans.

Right, but people do have lapses in memory sometimes. They're not perfect.




What's your moon sign?

Virgo, so I can be fairly critical. She's also a Virgo moon.

No, but someone canceled plans with me an hour before we were supposed to meet so I blocked him.

I see....what about your Mars?

Capricorn, but I think you're looking for my Venus in Libra. I tend to have a "fair is fair mentality". With Cap Mars though, I'm generally no nonsense and methodical in my approach. I can be very business until a certain point, then it flips. This is especially true behind bedroom door closes.
details
No, but I can see it happening in the near future with this Aries girl that I'm talking to. Pretty sure we're over each other anyway.

Hahah why "Yeesh"?
That whole business-minded, methodical, no nonsense, somewhat cold persona is one of the main reasons I'm not attracted to earth signs romantically.


I know you're a Leo, but you have prominent Earth placements.




Reminds me of a Cap friend I had. He was always so critical of others, but expected others to be understanding of his feelings when he was going through something. Yeah, can't do it.
click to expand
That's typically where the Leo side takes over. I'm not cold, just calm and direct (hence all business), which means I don't really play games. I'm either in or I'm out. I can't really date Capricorns either, though I'm ok with Cap placements. I dated a Cap once...and that's probably it for me.


I probably should have mentioned that the Leo woman who canceled had already rescheduled once before, which wasn't a big deal. Life happens, I understand. So I wound up moving things around, then again when she canceled. I didn't want to shuffle my obligations around a third time, so I showed up late. I wasn't a completely rude, I gave her a heads up that I was running late.

Didn't you break up with him for the 5783547839th time a few weeks ago?


You're so psychotic.

I had a coworker friend do that ish to me once. He'd talk to me about his dating woes/girl problems, seeking input and advice and the like. I forgot why we were meeting up for lunch.


His silly ass overslept/forgot because he never had his shit together. I told him this is why he had problems with girls. I also didn't bother attempting a reschedule. Given his age, I wasn't too surprised, but it pissed me off because I could have made other plans to head out with a group of friends to the beach.

Stood up by a Cancer with virgo moon

Was supposed to fly out and see him but the week of he "lost his phone"

So I didnt hear from him and obviously didnt go through with the flight

I stood my friend up last night , it was his birthday and I was supposed to go get wasted with him after rehearsals but I took a nap and when I woke up it was 3 in the morning......but in all honesty I got off my face with him on sat on grog, weed and pills and stayed up all Sunday so I'm still a bit fucked.


The last time I got stood up was my birthday 3 years ago my brother and my friend were supposed to meet me in the city for my birthday and it was the Chinese New Year festival and neither of them showed and I just walked the streets by myself and yeh...
