Today, I prepared for my first date in two years. I shaved my legs, did my hair and nails, painted my face, found the perfect outfit, then waited for hours for a man who never came. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went on a date with a guy I've had a crush on for a while. I shaved my legs and armpits and wore a short dress. It wasn't until I got to the meeting that I noticed I only shaved one of my legs. FML
Today, I got in the shower, washed my hair and shaved because I wanted to look great for a big date. I got out, brushed and dried my hair and spent an hour putting it up in the perfect hairstyle. Running late, I quickly put on my new dress, looked down and realized i had only shaved one leg. FML
Today, I dressed up for a date. After waiting for hours, sending countless texts and voice mails to my date, and thinking I'd been stood up, I remembered my date is actually scheduled for tomorrow. FML
Today, I went on a first date with a guy I met online. I arrived early and waited for him for over an hour. When he finally showed up, he was wearing the exact same outfit as me. FML
Today, I went on an online date. I'd spent a while getting ready and making sure I looked good. When I arrived at the café, I saw my date and approached with a smile. He stood up, looked me over, and said, "Oh, I thought you were your profile picture’s friend." Then left. FML
Today, I had a date with a girl. Wanting to make a good impression, I spend a lot of time getting ready and by the time I get to the place we were supposed to meet she isn't there anymore. I call her to see where she is. She's in bed with another guy and says "I was REALLY waiting for you". FML
Today, I planned to go on a date with a man I met online. He came to my apartment to pick me up, and I told him I'd be right out as I grabbed my purse. When I got outside, he was gone. FML
Today, I was getting ready for a date. I spent extra time getting ready in the shower, making sure I was all shaved. I was shaving my upper lip to make sure I didn't have a mustache. I cut my lip really badly, leaving the most noticable razor cut on my face for my date. I'm a girl. FML
Today, I spent ages getting dressed up for a date I’ve been excited for. I even put on cologne for the first time in forever. When I arrived at the restaurant, I realized I had forgotten my wallet. I spent the entire meal pretending to be “really into the conversation” while internally panicking about how I was going to pay. It didn't end well. FML
Today, I was supposed to be going on my first date with a guy I really liked. He never showed up. I just found out my dad was outside washing the car when my date showed up. He told him he didn't have a daughter and to never show up on his driveway again. FML

Girl call up your friends or hell just go out on your own and have fun! Nobody says you can't treat yourself just because some loser couldn't show up. Doesn't have to be all bad anyway, a guy who ditches someone with No heads up is a guy you don't need.

Painted your face? Who knows OP. Probably didn't recognize you... Ok, I can't be the "glass is half full" kind of guy. He stood you up. Like top comment said. That's a guy you don't need.

My older brother once got stood up. He was supposed to meet her somewhere for a second date but she didn’t show up and he never heard from her. A few days later in the local newspaper I read a story about a girl in a motorcycle accident, a car had hit her and she was in the hospital in critical condition. She had a unique name so I recognized it as the girl he was supposed to go on a date with. The wreck happened the same day of their date. I told him, he showed up at the hospital with flowers for their second date. Married 8 years now. Maybe he has a good excuse? Not likely because men are scum, but it could happen!

Of course my comment doesn't apply to only men women can do the same thing, however, OP has no way of knowing that until he gets in touch with her so she shouldn't have to dwell on the what if's and still try to at least have a good night!

I'm glad it worked out for your brother, but it's more likely that OP got stood up.

I wouldn't recommend waiting two years before trying again.

Yeah, wait forever. Human interaction is overrated.

I figure there's a 5% chance that an emergency came up. But either way, sorry.

Would you have preferred that he came too fast?

I think I'd prefer a guy who name came than one who came after 30 seconds.

Honey, you don’t need a man. That’s why we women have vibrators! I’m so alone

Maybe he came first, that's how it usually happens...

Since you were all dressed up you should have gone out and found someone else willing to date you.
