Texas Boy

It started out good!! His message said this :

 "Hi.. Texas Boy applying to get the chance to get to know more about you.. :)"

Impressed that he read the head line of my profile I responded. The first thing he told me was that he  was born in raised in Texas. I thought Yay!!Some one that will get me! As he told me more and more about himself I thought this sounds promising. I really wanted to meet this guy. I couldn't wait to meet this guy. I've been traveling for work so I have been short on time at home. However, in attempt to meet up with him I carved out time to make it happen. The first meeting had to be canceled because he got sick. He knew he was sick when he woke up but according to him he postponed sending me a text to cancel until 40 minutes before the meet up because he was hoping he could make it. Then we talked about attempting to meeting up again and I gave him two times I could meet up. He chose Sunday knowing I was traveling as soon as we were done. Again, I was really excited, finally I was meeting up with a guy that I enjoyed talking too. The guy appeared educated, witty, and considerate of others. Great traits for a guy that you are looking to potentially date.

I woke up to a number of things that needed to be done. Packing, cleaning, and looking cute for this meet up. This meant that I would have to wear my cute clothes to travel. Normally I would just dress for comfort but since I was meeting him first I wanted to look cute. I spent all that time trying to look cute. I was walking out the door to be there in about a minute when my phone beeps. I knew I had a text message and expected it to be that he was there waiting. I got excited and thought good I am just a moment away. Then I read the text message. He explained that something had come up for work and he would not be able to meet me. A TEXT MESSAGE!!! This is the second cancellation and he sent a text message!!! Okay so the emergency at work could have kept him from calling at that moment. However, I didn't respond to that message ALL DAY!! NOT ONCE did he call or text asking if I received the text!! The text he sent explaining that he couldn't meet up also did not apologize for not being able to meet up with me. The last thing that really caught my attention was he lives 40 minutes from where we were meeting. He knew 40 minutes prior to this event that was not going to be able to make it. Yet sent the text message the moment we were to meet.

Again, I understand that life happens and we have no control over it. However, we do have a choice on how we respond. As soon as he realized that he was not going to be able to make it he should have CALLED!! If he was unable to call he should have sent the text apologizing for not being able to meet up with me. Then later he should have called to make sure that I did get the message and check on me because he knew I was traveling. He acted sooo concerned about me traveling earlier in the weekend. The least he could have done is asked if I made it to my destination. He didn't even follow up that rude text message.

Now it has been an entire day and I have yet to hear from this guy. I am thinking he is a little smarter than I give him credit for!!!!
