C (2:06)

After I talked to you guys, I decided I was gonna call him. Like, I was just gonna put it out there. I didn't want to just show up. I just thought, I'm just gonna call him and put caution in the wind and call him. He answered the phone because obviously it's the number he'd been texting all week. And I said, hey, I said, you know, I just wanted to call you because I kind of think. He said, are we going out tonight? And I said, yeah. I said, but I kind of think you're talking. You might be possibly talking to the wrong girl. I said, just by the things you said. And we went through them all. And he said, you know what? He said, to be honest, I really did think you're someone else. He said, but I enjoyed talking to you that night too. So let's, you know, meet up at Maggiano's.

B (2:45)

Okay? Okay.

D (2:46)

Cool. Cleared the air before it started.

F (2:49)

So good.

C (2:50)

I got there early and he never showed up. He never showed up yet he stood me up.

B (2:58)

Oh, what a tool.

D (2:58)

No way.

E (2:59)

I can't believe he did that.

C (3:02)

And I texted him and he never wrote me back.

E (3:05)

Oh,

D (3:08)

why wouldn't. I mean, I just told you on the phone, that doesn't make any sense.

C (3:12)

I don't know.

B (3:13)

Oh no, Maybe there's a guy listening that could give us better perspective on this. Like, she said that he never called and you immediately in your head knew why. Cuz I'm coming up with nothing right now.

E (3:25)

He had his out, you know, you gave him his out and he didn't take it, but yet he still was so incredibly rude.

B (3:31)

Let's back up for just one second. So when you called him, tell us about that conversation, there has to be an indication somewhere in those couple of minutes that you talked to him that either turned him on or turned him off. I don't know.

C (3:45)

He was just the most nice, outgoing guy. Like, we had a great conversation on the phone. It wasn't. Do you know what I'm saying? It wasn't awkward. It was kind of weird. When I told him, he was kind of quiet for a couple seconds, but it wasn't like, you know, it didn't totally change the conversation.

D (4:00)

And he was the one that arranged like, where to go and what time and all that.

C (4:04)

Yeah, he set up everything. Like, say anything about that. He told me where, when.

B (4:11)

I know I've got zero answer at all.

E (4:14)

I'm so sorry.

D (4:16)

When you're sitting there waiting for him, what are the stages that you're going through? You're like, oh, he must be late then. Do you worry? Do, like, what were your stage? Mad or sad.

C (4:29)

Like I was looking at the clock and we were meeting at 7 and by 7:08 I was just like, I don't think he's coming. You know, Because I mean, really, it's gonna happen. Because if you're meeting someone, like that's new. You're usually not that late. You know what I mean?

B (4:43)

Have you guys ever been stood up like that before?

C (4:45)

Not that. No, I haven't.

B (4:47)

I have one time. One time?

E (4:50)

Yeah.

B (4:50)

She was so smoking hot too. And she was supposed to come by my place and she was picking me up. These were back in the college days when I lost my car and I had my scooter so she had to pick me up.

E (5:01)

That explains it.

B (5:02)

Yeah, that's probably why she would have understood. But no call, no nothing. And I just remember sitting there and sitting there and sitting there and after a while the realization hits you that she's just not coming by. But you still talk yourself into it. Like maybe, you know, something happened with the family. I'm sure she'll show up. And an hour, hour and a half, two hours before.

E (5:21)

That's horrible.

B (5:22)

It's the loneliest feeling ever. That's when I made the 30 minute rule up. Like if you don't hear anything in 30 minutes, then just go about your night. And if he shows up, he shows up. But at 30 minutes, that's it.

D (5:34)

How long did you wait?

C (5:36)

I waited till like 7:30.

D (5:39)

That was it.

C (5:39)

Like 30 minutes.

E (5:40)

Yeah, but it's just the most cowardly thing to do.

B (5:43)

I just can't figure out why it's.

D (5:46)

And then, I mean, this is such a big small town, you know, you're gonna run into him again.

B (5:49)

Totally.

D (5:50)

And then he has to feel like a jerk all over again rather than just calling you and canceling.

B (5:53)

Hey, Chad. You have some kind of explanation on why he might have just a bailed?

F (5:57)

I don't know, man. Really, if he would. If he would only text you and then he really didn't even know who he was on top of the whole situation. I think he only had one thing in mind and he still didn't show up, so.

B (6:08)

Well, if you only had one thing in mind, he should have showed up. I mean, that would be the reason for going.

E (6:12)

Mm.

B (6:13)

Good morning, Anthony. You're on Q100.

C (6:16)

Yeah.

F (6:16)

He's just a big jerk. He isn't even worth your time. Basically what happened was he didn't have anything planned himself because he's that much of a loser. And then when he finally had something come up, maybe one of his buddies said, let's do this. Then he went along with it and totally ditched her.

B (6:31)

That sucks. I hope that's not the case. But you're right. She's gonna run into him.

D (6:34)

Yeah. I mean, you guys are gonna see each other out again at some point, Even if it's not within the next year. It'll be at some point.

B (6:41)

And don't get out.

E (6:43)

You have the power on that one. Because he's the jerk.

B (6:45)

I wouldn't even give him the satisfaction of addressing it with him. When you see him out, pretend like it wasn't even a big deal.

D (6:51)

He may not remember what you look like.

B (6:53)

That's right.

C (6:54)

Yeah. No, he may not, because he was drinking that night. Who knows?

B (6:59)

Well, that would be awesome. You could come onto him again and set up something and then stand him up.

D (7:03)

Stand him up.

E (7:04)

So much energy.

D (7:05)

Now you're thinking.

E (7:06)

Yeah, but I think that. I mean, he obviously didn't. I mean, he didn't remember who you were, and he was just trying to be nice on the phone, I guess. But I still don't understand why he would go through with making you go somewhere and sit knowing he's not coming.

B (7:18)

Hey.

C (7:19)

Right. Exactly.

B (7:20)

Steve, go ahead. You're on Q100.

C (7:22)

Yeah. How you doing?

F (7:23)

You guys are great. I just want to know, did she go to the right Maggiano's, being that there's three here in Atlanta.

B (7:29)

Is he sitting somewhere thinking you stood him up, maybe?

C (7:33)

No, I definitely went to the correct one.

B (7:36)

It was a nice try because you texted him, right?

E (7:38)

Yeah, if he thought if he was at the wrong one or whatever, they would have. Yeah, he would have responded to you.

D (7:44)

Something.

B (7:44)

Yeah, I mean, there's zero reason at all not to send a jerk.

C (7:47)

Yeah.

B (7:48)

Hey, Nikki.

C (7:49)

Hey, Good morning.

B (7:51)

How are you?

C (7:52)

First of all, I hate this guy already.

F (7:54)

But

C (7:57)

to his. Well, not really his defense, I. What if, like, his friend that went back into the bar to get the number was kind of playing a prank on him? Like, purposely getting the wrong number so he'd be. I don't know. Like. I feel like it has nothing to do with her. I think it was one of his immature friends, like, trying to prank him or something.

B (8:19)

But then why would he set up a date and then not call and just completely stand her up? What does he get out of that?

C (8:25)

I think. I think he does nothing, but he feels like an idiot, and he's probably thinking, oh, God, you know, already look this bad, I'm gonna show up. I don't know. I don't know, there's a part of

E (8:41)

me that thinks that it worked out better than if you had just shown up and he saw you, you know, and had that. That physical reaction to the fact that you weren't who he thought you were. Because if he's that much of a jerk to stand you up, then. No, tell him what he would have done in person, you know, if he actually showed up. Yeah.

B (8:57)

What a total boosh. Yeah. We could probably spend the next hour speculating on why he didn't show up. But the. The bottom line of the whole thing is there is zero excuse for not just sending a text, even if there was an emergency. After the emergency, you text and go, oh, my God, I am so sorry that I didn't show up. Zero reason not to do that. So he's a big old bouche, and you're better off of that.

E (9:19)

Yeah. Sorry about that.

C (9:21)

Definitely. Thanks, guys. I appreciate it.

B (9:23)

All right, Melanie. Thank you.

C (9:25)

Bye. Bye.

B (9:28)

Dude, I'm telling. If you guys have never been there before, there is nothing lonelier than sitting there on the couch watching tv. Because seconds feel like minutes, minutes feel like hours. And the rejection that you're going. You feel like such a fool when you stand somebody up.

D (9:41)

She had to do it where there was, like, servers around and people going, can I get you something? Would you like to go ahead and order?

B (9:48)

It's worse than a restaurant or a bar.

E (9:50)

There's going to be two of us. I'm just waiting on them. Have they come yet? Have they come yet? No. I got to go.

B (9:55)

You're faking the. Look at the door. Oh, yes.

F (9:58)

Terrible.

B (9:59)

The bird show.
