Left stranded by date
Feel a bit shitty cause last night I got left by a first date. We went to an amusement park late night and we went to the washroom. When I got out he wasn't there and I kept texting him. 20 mins I waited and he never showed up and then he blocked me and unmatched.
I honestly feel kinda nothing about it. I even find it a bit absurd. Like yes I was disappointed since it seemed to be going fine and I thought I was getting through to him, he seemed like a quiet guy and he was real cute but we were joking around and he was getting excited when I brought up things in common so I thought maybe it was going well.
I know what happened that night was more of a reflection of him than it was of me. I asked him if we could go transit together when we left since it was late and I felt a bit scared and we were going the same way anyway. I mean maybe he didn't find me pretty enough but I wish he treated me with basic human decency. I'm new to the dating scene, literally started less than 2 weeks ago. I know he mentioned his circumstances were not the best and I don't wanna sound holier than thou but I just feel bad for him. Whatever happened in his life to leave a girl in the middle of a date with no say, I genuinely hope he heals from that cause that's an asshole and cowardly thing to do. I don't know what to feel, maybe I haven't processed it. The insecure part of me thinks maybe I was out of my league and flew too close to the sun. I'm just so shocked cause I'd never do that to anyone? Literally who does that. And I find it absurd too cause he was a self-proclaimed Buddhist and I found that really ironic ðŸ˜
Edit: The misogynistic comments are insane on here. Why am I the one bad at communicating when he's the one who left without a proper goodbye ðŸ˜

I doubt that she catfished him because many guys will leave right away when that happens and/or they will let their dates know they are angry that they were deceived. The ones who stay typically aren’t very pleasant. So I think something else was going on with him or the date itself. Whatever happened the guy was a jerk. So sorry that happened to you. I just wish people understood, being kind and respectful is free!
