It takes some life experience, people skills, insight and good observation to see when people are being sincere and when they are just jerks in their words or actions..

It doesn’t really matter why and what he said. He stood you up. That’s low.

I am 53 and have met ton of people in my life including dates and friends of both gender. I’ve met people who cancel. I cancel myself when need to. But I have never been stood up, not once. So I dare to say it’s not normal or typical or acceptable or common occurrence. Not because I am that great but because it’s just not a common thing to do. You show up to a place and other person just a no show. Com’n now

Nowadays with electronics etc people don’t stand others up. He thinks standing people up is no big deal. Sure... in his world. I think being more selective is the key.

It doesn’t matter why he said what he said. We can’t control other people. We can only control ourselves and who we surround yourself with. Don’t spend another minute thinking about this guy. Surround yourself with decent people
