Queer women can be tacky, too.

My first ever completely-unknown-in-meatspace OKCupid date stood me up last night. If you get cold feet, or if you find the love of your life within the span of two weeks, you at least owe somebody like me a text.

I had shaved my legs, made garlic-free spaghetti sauce, and put on eye makeup on a weeknight. Poo! Luckily, dagard was nearby to take the edge off with good beer & bad karaoke.

ETA: I have added garlic to the remaining spaghetti sauce. It also has ground beef, kalamata olives, and (formerly) dried anchovies.

Eff that. Completely uncool unless something absolutely horrible has happened and even then an after-the-fact explanation is warranted.

She has my email address and my cell number if she wants to give me such an explanation. After 22 hours, though, she's either in a horribly bad situation involving the law or medicine, or she's horribly tacky.

Boo. We all have communication devices strapped to our bodies which are capable of sending short notes with no immediate face or voice interaction. "Can't make it, sorry." is a very bare minimum.

[sistawendy.livejournal.com]

Strapped? Well, mine is usually in my Coach shoulder bag, so yeah, strapped.

fsvo 'all'...

BOOOOOOO!

Boo. Not cool. Especially when someone's made you some homemade puttanesca! Not cool at all.

What bollocks. That is so rude.

One is, as always, happy to be of service when one can.

If I can hunt down Mac (which is rather harder than hunting down the great white buffalo), I will ask him for suggestions as to places to find less flaky humanoids for you. (I've mentioned him elsewhere, y'all would get along great. He's me without the Y chromosomes).

Not being active in the dating scene, I have no idea what the error rate is like, but I do know plenty of folks who have a lot of success with OKC. Not sure that I have a point beyond not letting this one bad data point putting you off the experiment.

I am still wondering why you left the garlic out in the first place. Then again, I put garlic in just about everything but desserts. Anyone who can't stand garlic shouldn't be around me anyway.

[ximinez]

 Mmmmmm.... Garlic.

Sounds like you at least got dinner for the rest of the week out of the deal!

Also, ruuuude.

[randomdreams.livejournal.com]

Fie! I'm sorry! But at least you got to put the garlic back in.

[schmi.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's just tacky. :|

I have only heard one explanation for such behavior that was forgivable.
And that involved suddenly-injured children.

Otherwise, AT MINIMUM a text is required.

I'm sorry your date didn't go. +1 the folk(s) saying "Don't let it stop you".
