Im seeing a wonderful man whom Im head over heals in love with. He has this friend who wants to meet a nice woman. My BF asked me if I knew anyone. As a matter of fact I did. So the plan was to come to my house, Id cook dinner and they could meet.
So I went food shopping, bought good quality food. And yesterday I cooked in preparation for tonight. Made a delicious sauce, meat balls, etc.
This morning my BF told me that his friend hurt his leg and couldn't come. Boy was I ticked. Im over it now, but I feel he insulted me by doing this.
Thoughts. I guess Im asking for l consolation for my reaction. My BF felt really bad and tried to fix it by convincing him to come anyway, but I told him not to do that. I told him it cost money and time on my part and if he just backed off light that Im done.
Did I overreact? Console me. lol Like I said, Im fine now. I get over things real fast. Life is short. But Im feeling guilty for my initial reaction.

@Ditzydori. Sounds like BF's friend's leg problem was with cold feet, he chickened out. I'd be angry too. Freeze your meatballs and save for another occasion. BF owes you dinner out.

@Ditzydori I don't know why you are mad at anyone. It is annoying and rude, but how it is your friend's fault? I doubt they planned it that way.
It would be difficult for a lot of people to go to a setup like this and I can see where someone might back out. It's not nice, but I'm not sure who you are angry at and why.

Don't feel bad, I can see after all that work feeling like "what?!" Because it did seem like he backed down. If it had been a legitimate sounding emergency, I don't think you'd have reacted the same. I think trust your gut!
Yes, BF should make it up to you~hope it all works out. And as for his friend...his loss on not meeting your friend...she deserves someone who wants to be there! (I realize I'm totally speculating on a lot of unknowns...I mean it's not easy doing the "blind date" thing...but his friend had asked!)

I would be disappointed, but I wouldn't be mad.
What if he really did hurt his leg?
Accidents do happen, you know.

Thats true, but my gut feeling is he got cold feet for meeting my friend. He was going to come after my BF talked to him so he couldnt have been that hurt. But we then both decided it was best to make it another time when he was feeling better.

amyb yourre spot on. and when I say I was angry I didn't mean I took a fit or anything. Thats simply not my personality. I guess the right adjective is very annoyed. Because I did expel alot of effort and money in preparing for this dinner. Especially since my gut was that he got cold feet. A not good situation for all. He was uncomfortable, true, but remember he was the one who asked my BF if I had a nice woman for him. We planned this since last week. He had plenty of time to cancel.
But it is what it is. My favorite saying. Life is too short. Im absolutely fine now.
Thanks for your replies.

@Anonymous032819. Unlikely. Too coincidental.

Have you considered your friend? She's probably feeling let down. Call her and tell her to still come over and have a girls night with her. Be careful playing match maker, Ditzy.

Maybe, but are you saying that there is absolutely zero chance that he hurt his leg?
