I think I would have to think about if I wanted to reconnect with someone who it seems was kind of thoughtless.

Maybe I would have her set up the next thing and maybe at your own house (just in case).

I have a spaced out long time friend too but she is not at all thoughtless and I can't imagine her ever forgetting to meet together.


Agree.  It would have hurt my feelings to think I looked forward to meeting this old friend, and the event had so little meaning to her that it slipped her mind.  Unless her apology was totally convincing, I wouldn't set myself up again.

Re: Had contact with friend from school

Have had friends in my life like that.  You almost come to expect it from them.  You will have a good laugh about it when you get together.  Remembering good times with old friends is the best.

Maybe that's why it would bother me.  I didn't have friends who were like that.  I guess if that's the way they always were it wouldn't be so insulting.

@cookinfreak you didn't have her number to call her from the restaurant and you couldn't call to say that you were waiting.

i just want to say that i love the way you keep a more positive attitude about a situation like this. it is so much easier to be negative, but i would definitely give her another chance also, especially since @cookinfreak did not have a way to get in touch with her.

 I think if a man had done this to her there wouldn't  have been one response giving him the benefit of the doubt -new man or old flame yet for an old female friend it was given a pass as "that's how she is"

Re: Had contact with friend from school

I would never excuse this sort of behavior from any one man or woman, it is selfish and childish.

There has to be a reason she never exchanged phone numbers with you. I think she chickened out because her appearance has changed drastically.

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

I am still oxox: Funny! Seriously? No, she's on drugs. People who make contact of the  blue contact invoke suspicion. But she backed out because of her looks?  2 funnySmiley Happy
