Today, I went on a first date, only for us to find the restaurant wasn't open on New Year's Day. My date suggested going to the mall instead. We drove in our own cars. Me: the mall, him: home. I waited for 40 minutes before realising he'd stood me up. Happy New Year to me. FML

Thanks for the support guys. To answer some of your questions.... The mall was suggested by him as we figured it was the only place we knew 100% was open. I don't think he suggested a closed restaurant deliberately. In my city it's touch and go what will be open on public holidays. We knew exactly where to meet - where all the restaurants are at the mall. And I did call and message a couple of times but received nothing back. He also deleted me from the dating site we met on. So it was a clear ditch. He knew what I looked like beforehand so dunno what it was! And we basically just had a one minute conversation so doubt I could have pissed him off in that little amount of time! Very doubtful he was in an accident. Definitely dodged a bullet I think. Hopefully this doesn't set the tone for 2015!

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

"Today, I went on a first date with a very cute girl. The restaurant was closed for New Years, so we decided to drive seperately and meet up at the mall. On the way, I was T-boned. My car, phone, and the rest of my belongings were destoyred. All I wanted was to eat dinner with her. FML" Yes I realize that may have been too long for the fml character count, but you never know what could have happened.

If he was planning on standing you up, why would he even show up at the restaurant? Are you sure he wasn't in an accident or something? If he actually did stand you up that sucks, but don't jump to conclusions.

Except it's quite possible he knew the place would be closed and met her there so he could check her out before actually having the date. If he liked her, he'd suggest a place and they'd go there. If he didn't like her, he'd still suggest a place and then wait until she'd driven off and drive in the other direction. Sure something may have happened. But it's much more likely he ditched her because people are cowards and would rather ditch someone than act like an adult and say "you know, I don't think this will work".

maybe he went to a different mall.

He's such an asshole. Don't worry today is only the start of a new year, you sure to find someone wayyy better than him.

If you're going to a restaurant on a date, especially on a holiday, book in advance!
