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!

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

OP, if you see him again, make a scene. Something like "Baby, won't you come home, the kids miss you so much, and and the landlord says we're out next week unless he gets some rent money." Heels get what heels deserve. Hopefully he'll be on a date at the time.

Where in Australia do we call the shops a 'mall'?? You're not in Australia, I don't believe you!

I am so sorry to hear about that. I have been ditched too many times to where I don't even trust meeting anyone.

The guy is an asshole. You're better off without him. Have a great 2017

You know, let a female be the one who ditches and let her give some feminist excuse exclaiming independence and howthe guy was ugly or just had a bad vibe she didn't like and everyone would still be on her side.

Even giving those excuses she would be expected to say she is no longer interested. If she lied she be getting slammed in these comments as well. You seem bitter.

He probably got a phone call from an ex he wasn't over and decided to get back with her. Any way you def dodged a huge bullet.
