My Weekend: Getting Blown Off Sucks

My weekend wasn't terrible, in fact it was actually quite good. But, those few nagging annoyances...allow me to explain.

Thursday night I called a girl and asked her out (first date). She said yes (woohoo!) but explained she was going to be out of town Friday night through Saturday (d'oh!). "How 'bout Sunday?" she asks (woohoo!). So, we decide on Sunday, and we'll call each again at some point to figure out more specific details.

Friday afternoon I call her house to see if we can go ahead and set up the details so I can plan my Sunday around it (it was already looking to be a busy day). I just missed her-she's already left town, so I just left the message with whatever family member I was speaking with (presumably her mother).

Friday night I go out to a show and dinner with a big group of people, lots of fun. One of the good things to come out of this weekend.

Saturday afternoon I call a friend to see if he wants to hang out that night. He says he had to go to a rehearsal then (about 2:30) but he'd back around 5 and he'd call me back so we could do something. Of course, the call never comes. After giving up on him, my best friend comes over and we hang out awhile.

Sunday morning I record piano for a couple hours at my piano teacher's house (college preperatory-type stuff, preliminary audition tapes). About noon we wrap it up, she takes me out to a nice luncheon (very sweet of her). I round up all the equipment, music, etc, and head home. I call the girl again at about 2:30 to see what we're doing this evening. No one's home, so I leave a message. I had to go to a meeting for a couple hours, but left the answering machine on. I came home from the meeting (about 5:45), and still no call back from her. It's now 6:47, and still no call.

I know you might be thinking that the girl is just trying to give me a hint in a very strange way, which she may very well be for all I know, but I don't think that's the issue. I have a strong suspicion that her family does not deliver messages very well, so if anyone else heard the message but her, I doubt she ever got it. It's kinda late to be doing something on a Sunday night now, with homework and whatnot, so I guess I can kiss our date tonight good-bye. Hopefully she'll call at SOME point so maybe we can set something up for another day if she's still interested.

So, my weekend was good, yes, I'm not ungrateful for that. It's just annoying when someone tells you they'll call, and then they don't.

you should choose a new title... "Weekend, Blown and Sucks" indicate all good things coming your way, quite contrary to your post :)

Well, sounds to me that she mighta had something take longer than she suspected originally. I would wait it out and see what happens, she may call you tomorrow for a raincheck, in which case youll feel like an ass for doubting her.

Just chill and roll with it Robespierre. Suspect nothing, and therefore everything you encounter in life comes innocently enough.

Maybe she just didn't get back into town yet or something? Being out of town and then coming back I know I'm tired as hell and cranky and I'd rather just sit around and do nothing

Getting blown off is having a chick promise to call you on several different ocassions and her never doing so

Alright, maybe we need to go over this again:

She was out of town until today, so I couldn't call her before today. I was recording all this morning, so I couldn't call her then. I had a break before a meeting I had so I called her then, left a message. The meeting was at 4, so I was only gone for an hour and 45 mins. I have an answering machine and caller ID, both demonstrating that she never called. I expected the date to happen this evening.

Anyhow, yeah, I should just relax, it's just hard to not be tense before a first date with someone, and when this confusion occurs, it's like your nerves tie themselves in knots. I'm gonna see her tomorrow at school, so I'll just ask her for a "reschedule" if she's still interested. No biggie.

Maybe you're trying a little too hard. She told you she was going away, and things happen, maybe the trip was extended a little bit longer. In my opinion, she'll be very turned off when she comes home and sees you called a hundred times. She'll probably think you're a future stalker in the making and nip it before it even comes to pass.

Yes, if by 100 you mean 2.

Is it a woman's goal to dominate a man in every way and then dispose of him like trash? All the while, telling everything about the relationship to her friends and acting as if she is holier than any man?
