Of course it's not hard to send a text and after being so excited about seeing you I'm surprised he hasn't been more assertive, that said there's nothing wrong for you to send a text or ring him..... He might appreciate the concern.........( I would )

I don't think he's " ghosted " you especially after he seemed so happy to see you after you " ghosted " him

Hope it works out
Thank you for the response! I'll just have to wait and see, like usual.

Honestly I can't see you contacting him having a negative effect

Maybe HE now 'slipped off.'

He's probably going through the mess of being confused and eventually disregarded by his new date and he'll probably come back to reality.

Until then you sit right here in Joe's spot. You know, the one you left HIM in.

Enjoy!

Wondering what happened...did he pop back up again?

I think he's suspicious too. Unless something truly terrible I find it hard to believe the guy didn't have 20 seconds to text you and let you know instead of letting you sit there all day. I also find it strange you didn't already have the address.

Okay so he did pop back up.
He sent me a message today that simply said "Sorry, I JUST got back this morning about 3:30, it's all good know. She was having a break down, thank you for understanding" and then sent about seven emojis of a smiling angel face...

I have yet to respond.
I personally just don't really know what to say. Keep in mind he doesn't know that I drove four hours halfway to see him before I was let down and told he had a change of plans. I haven't decided how exactly to approach it or what exactly to say so I haven't said anything...

There are so many scenarios that could have taken place, both legit and bogus.
Gahh..

What does everyone think?

Yeah, let him stew in it for a while until you figure out how you want to handle it.

These days, when most people's phones are within arms reach at all times, there is no excuse for NO contact when plans are broken.

But you did leave out the fact that you were already halfway up there when he canceled on you.

I HATE letting people stew, and I hate the idea of "ghosting" and not answering someone, but in this case I'm not trying to be mean, I literally just dont know what to say. His daughter is 18 and may have very well had a breakdown and needed her father (I have to admit I was there before myself). Or he may have found himself caught in a corner because of something else (previous plans, another woman, not really wanting to meet up, etc). But if he wants to talk with me, he will. If there's something I've learned here it is that if a person wants to spend time with you, they'll make time for you.

I can't help but be skeptical and I really hate that!

Honestly, in this case it's not being mean. It's responding in kind.

You can't complain about always being available/gullible and then make yourself available to him by replying immediately. You NEED to be more skeptical. You don't really know him but your mind is automatically trying to fill in a lot of blanks for him.

You don't owe him. He owes you a LOT more than a couple emojis.
