A guy stood me up yesterday, but sent me a message today apologising and asking me to spend the day with him. Should I go?

I'm only asking, because I like to see the good in people, and I'm making sure I'm not walking into a massive trap.

We organised a time and place to meet each other, because neither of us have phones, so we put trust in e that the other would be there. HE WAS NOT THERE. I felt like a total idiot for believing his bullshit and went home. He sent me a message and told me that he tried calling my work and that something came up.

The fact that he apologised tells me that he really does want to spend time with you. Things do happen. It could be legitimate excuse. Especially since he did apologise. I’m a believer in second chances. You might regret not having given him a second chance.

@ASouthernGentleman I agree with you. I have dated guys that ghosted me and then never talked to me again, so the message tells me that he does care is some way, shape or form. It might not go where I want it to in the end, but I need to give him a chance.

I would. Things do happen. My own sister cancelled her plans with me because she broke her ankle. Now, granted it’s not the same thing but the point is, things can and do happen. Give the chap a chance. He might even bring you flowers for having to cancel. @lauriethecolourful
