So, its Friday...I was bored out of my mind and Im leaving town tomorrow.
A guy messages me online and asks to meet up. We go to D&B and after about 3 or 4 games and about 30 minutes, he began checking his phone a few times and then says he had to get up early for work the next day. Hello, its a Friday! And he knew he was meeting me at 11 pm anyway
Usually I never do this, and he's leaving the country and I'm leaving the state...but I texted him if there was something else that made him leave so quickly. He just said he didn't realize how late it was
Needless to say I just feel so empty, not that I needed him or expected a whole lot...but it always feel bad to go on a date and then have them up and leave without giving any kind of reason why. Its like, well maybe there was something but I won't know.
And I been thru this already. I should already know that I shouldn't take it personal or anything, and that it is what it is. But its also a reason why if I just want to have fun, I do better off going to a bar or club instead of online, because stuff like this happens. Atleast I know the guy is available right then and there and if he doesn't like me, he won't come up to me in the 1st place.
It also seems like some guys have this imaginary image of how Im going to be when they meet me, and then it doesn't. What gives? Its exactly why lately, I've been going out to meet guys because I get sick of meeting people online and then you never know who or what they may have going on and then when things dont work out, I'm left feeling like its something I did. Its like a blind date, and my life is too busy to be meeting someone for nothing
Was that your first time meeting him? To be honest Im not a big fan of online people sometimes, because you really dont get much of an impression of a person. I would recommend trying to expand your social network in real life and finding dates there. Online people can be veryyy flaky.
I think the root of the entire problem lies in the choice of Dave & Buster's as a meet-up place. Seriously.
Think about it - you're going to a place where drunken people are re-living their recently-departed childhood - screaming and crying and running around like a bunch of unsupervised brats. They're throwing away their money in the name of having fun while eating tons of greasy junk food.
Now a BAR...THAT'S different...

So why did you meet this guy based upon the strength of an IM? At some point, unless there are extenuating circumstances, an on-line hookup will usually lead to an in-person meet. It's just a METHOD - one of many. Don't blame the method for the problems that lie within the guys that make use of them.

That's contrary to what I've heard: hate the game, not the player...

Eh, I've never been a subscriber to the "Hate the sin, love the sinner" philosophy. I figure if the sin is worth my time hating, then so is the sinner.
Yeah, I mean, Chuck E. Cheese actually has quite an extensive beer selection.
And they have the Big Rat - SO much better!
