I didn't send another response because the fact that she was cancelling a date 3 days from now made me instantly know that she made plans with someone else. So I didn't send anymore responses and deleted her number and will try to come up with a quick back up plan for saturday. The way it looks now I wont' be able to but I do have plans to meet someone early friday evening and Monday of next week. So my saturday will be wide open.


I want to start scheduling to meet two woman on the same day so I will have a backup plan but I don't get to talk to that many women. I guess I should be glad she sent that text today instead of saturday morning lol
However you are not old enough to know that you that the words "may" and "rain check" in the following sentence, "We may have to take a rain check" means she hasn't totally written you off. Had you shown concern and interest, the odds are good, that she would have rescheduled the date with you. The important question is, when will you be old enough to go with the flow? I wonder how many opportunities you've missed due to your now or never attitude? Something is horribly wrong with the man in Philly, and only he can fix it.

"May" and "rain check" could have meant she wasn't sure how she'd feel and didn't want to completely surprise the OP by cancelling last minute... this is true too. I still kind of have doubts based on my own experience with men flaking on me, but like I said, even though I tend to think she's canceled there is always the very real chance she hasn't and that she's being 100% upfront and honest. And if that's the case, he's basically writing off a considerate woman. It's no skin off the OP's nose, money out of his pocket, time lost... just to wait and see. Don't burn the bridge on a guess.

Dude. There's been a virus going around; I was in bed for three weeks.

Since you are this sensitive (judging by all your posts), maybe you shouldn't be dating at all right now. You should be learning to love yourself first.

Call her and ask her how she is doing and be GENUINELY concerned.

What world do you live in that people don't get sick? *especially* this time of year.

Everybody I work for has been sick. It's going around. Maybe she was actually being CONSIDERATE of you by not wanting to spread her germs to you.

It sounds like you didn't like her much anyway.

Did you know that sickness and family are the most frequent used excuses to get out of a date?

That's a good point, but in my head, asking "what's wrong" as in, specifics of an illness, might come across as too prying or personal at that early stage.

Simply "wow, I hope you feel better. Let me know if there's anything I could do" might be best.

But if you didn't give her that chance, just call her. Stop with the texting people. So lame. Call her and talk to her.

There is a chance she has some chronic illness, and when it flares up, it lasts a while, and she knows this.

Also a chance (better one) that she's not into you.
