I think this guy owes you an apology.I hope your friend knows how special you are to do all that for her.

Id be upset too expecially because you put so much thought into it. How kind of you. I think meeting someone new at a certain age is super scary for some people. Dinner means a little more time commitment and its more involved.
Next time how about just inviting for drinks rather than dinner? That way if it goes well then you can do dinner afterwards

No, no, no ..... Too much time alloted for this .... and it may have been too much pressure. you clearly had high expectatons or you wouldn't have gone to so much trouble for this. A simple introduction would have been preferable, IMO. This could have felt like a "forced" double date.
First meetings can be difficult, and it's best of people meet for coffee ... for about 15 minutes ... no more. Sometime you meet a person and know in the next 10 seconds it will never work and am wondering how soon can you get away without being rude.
IMO, You had the best of intentions, but went about it wrong. Making a big deal out of this meant they were both stuck there for about 2 - 2 1/2 hours .... and they might have hated each other on sight. Hey, it happens.

Well stated. I feel the same way about set-ups.

Tinkrbl44 Relax, this was BFs idea and his friend. I stated that it was his friend that asked if I had a friend. He started it all. I complied and did what I did out of love.
I hope you read my reply. The evening turned out great. My friend came over with another friend and we all had a great time and the dinner went very well. I WAY over it now. Life goes on.

You may be over it now, but if I was your boyfriend and witnessed how strongly you reacted to a dinner that was YOUR IDEA, well that would have made me rethink the relationship. I would wonder how you would react when more serious situations occurred.

@Ditzydori ....................this is a good lesson not to play cupid. Stay out of others love life.
As for your boyfriend why did he not come over and enjoy the meal? Also, your girlfriend could have joined you, what happened to her?
If this happened to me I would be cautious of the boyfriend now.

Stuff happens. I wouldn't be mad. I'd split the food into smaller containers and freeze them. Easy dinners when you don't feel like cooking.

@Imaoldhippi Thanks for your reply. Im guessing you didnt read my replies. Boyfriend and my friend did come over and we had a great time.
@Calcgirl REALLY? I was marrried to my HS sweetheart for 46 years until he passed. I think I can handle relationships.
Have a blessed day
