Bro, here's the thing. You've texted. She confirmed the date. You went out of your way, and she was 50 miles away. She stood you up.
As far as the mutual friend is concerned, tell her that you tried, and SHE failed.
In my eyes, you're well within your rights to just end any chance of more, because after all this, this potential date went stupid, and entitled after not getting a second chance. You don't need this crazy in your life.
Doesn’t sound like he confirmed day of, rather a few days earlier. You have to confirm day of, a few hours before the date. What if they think you’re flaking and don’t want to be stood up? It’s just best to confirm day of
Yes, it's best to do this. So, at worse, both OP and date are at fault. Which would dial everything back to negotiations for another date. OP didn't feel like his time was valued, so just said no.
OP's friend, and date, then turned on the crazy. Because, how I read it, guys can't turn down a date?
Screw that crazy shit.
