ahh it happened again.  when i texted to confirm my most recent date i got no response.  like based on this it sounds like i'm doing something wrongly, right?  

Well, I can't speak to that myself, except to say a man's interest is all or none. You can't blame yourself because it's not something you can control.

May I ask why you're taking these disappointments so badly, and what exactly were you expecting to get from these encounters had they happened?

i'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you didn't mean to sound critical of me when it's clearly the other people who behaved rudely.  i believe i take rejection better than the vast majority of people--for instance, if i asked someone to do something with me and they said no, i would accept it without a second thought--but to say yes, even to be the one to ask me, to show enthusiasm, to make the commitment, and then disappear without a trace, is simply rude.  four people in a row (one was a woman btw).  the point isn't that the planned activities didn't happen, but that they were planned.  again, if you don't want to do something, don't suggest/agree to it.  if you do and then change your mind, text me.  i'm not in deep distress lol but i am disappointed by the seemingly universal lack of basic manners and i don't think that makes me unreasonable.  my friends agree.  and i certainly don't blame myself.  now i've said everything about it that i'd like to, and more.
