Today, I was looking forward to a date with a guy I like, when he suddenly and abruptly cancelled. After 4 days of silence from him, I finally decided to stand up for myself and told him that I don't need someone as immature as him in my life anyway. Turns out his dad died. FML

How were you supposed to know? Granted I would feel like a ginormous ass in this situation too, it definitely wasn't your fault, OP.

It's okay, you didn't understand the circumstances. I would have done the same, especially since he decided not to say anything. I hope you were able to smooth things over.

Yes, that was embarrassing, but in truth it wouldn't have killed him to make a phone call to let you know what happened if he really liked you.

Or send a brief text! It wouldn't have taken more than a few minutes.

It's not hard at all to say "My dad died" and that gets the message across. If he had told OP, she would have known to back off and let him have space and also known that he isn't ignoring her, he's grieving. I don't completely feel like it's the dudes fault, because 4 days of no contact isn't a lot and OP overreacted a little, but he could have told her what happened and it would have smoothed things over a lot better.

Now you learned a lesson: Don't be a bitch.

You couldn't have known, but regarding the communication barrier, you're both at fault here. He should have let you know that something serious had happened and he needed space. You should have not jumped to assumptions and name-calling without any information on what happened. You can always call or text first. Remember that. If you didn't text or call, you should have. If you did, he should have responded. An unfortunate situation all around. I'm sorry for his loss.

You didn't know, but you should have found out first. You seem to have just assumed that he was being a jerk and because you jumped to that conclusion and didn't wait to get the full story from him, you made an ass of yourself.

This is so cringeworthy. I hope you apologized for him, and also that you can forgive yourself - you had no way of knowing and you can be more cautious with judgement in the future.

I certainly don't blame you, but the lesson to be learned is not to instantly assume the worst. I mean if you like this dude, he must be a decent guy right? So you shouldn't have assumed you were wrong about him and seen what happened before you went off. But I still don't blame you, and like I said if this guy is a decent guy he'd probably understand and you two can hook up after he deals with his father's death.
