Have you ever been stood up on a date?

Good evening hivers, hope you had a great Saturday... Today I join again to the wonderful weekend challenge of our friend @galenkp I would have loved to participate in two proposals, in the middle of my indecision I had to leave it to chance and roll the dice haha. Here is my experience, I hope you enjoy it.

Have you ever been stood up on a date?

The answer to this question is: yes! I must confess that after I ended a relationship that lasted many years I was very wary of starting another relationship. I tend to leave the things of love to the Universe, I am one of those people who do not press when I feel attracted to someone, leaving a little that life writes the story, this attitude increased at the time that my relationship ended, since it was a bad experience and I came to think that we never got to know our partner well, although now that I healed I do not generalize and I am open to trust again, for this reason I dared to accept a date that was not blind, since it was a friend of my adolescence that I had many years without seeing. One day I found his request on Facebook. When I saw the photos, I immediately recognized his face, despite the fact that many years had passed, he still retained his features, I immediately accepted the request and that was the beginning of a cell phone dialogue. To go to an appointment, I must first feel a special connection with the person, for several weeks I felt comfortable talking with my friend, we had many similar tastes and he had something that I highly value in a person, which is a good sense of humor, I consider that the The person who is with me must make me laugh and I must feel that they are a happy person or at least try to be happy haha!

For the appointment we agreed that it be on a terrace in the open air, I proposed that it not be in a cafeteria but in a place where we could have a drink since I feel that it helps a little to relax and break the ice when you go to a date for the first time, I had already decided to order a red wine since I love its flavor and if it is a summer tinto it is more refreshing and tasty!

My friend suggested that the meeting time be at 6 pm, but I preferred to change it earlier, to avoid going out at night. I think that on the first date I feel more confident and calm when the sunlight is with me. I suggested that I go at 3 in the afternoon, to calmly enjoy a good conversation and be able to check if there was chemistry between us and if Cupid's arrow appeared haha! I am a late person, but for trips and appointments I am the opposite, I am usually extremely punctual, I arrive at least 1 hour in advance, so as not to miss my flight and not to look bad with the person I am going to meet , this preventing any setback that may delay my arrival. That day I arrived at 2:30 and ordered a glass of red wine from a brand that I already knew, while waiting for my friend to arrive, I drank it slowly. When the clock struck 3 I didn't worry about giving a vote of confidence, but when 1 hour passed I was certain that I wouldn't come that day.

The first few minutes I felt sadness and nostalgia, for feeling alone sitting waiting for the person with whom I had felt a connection, but since I am a very optimistic and positive person, who always sees the good side of everything, my motto in life is that : there is nothing so bad that it can ruin your life, because it can always be worse. I changed my sadness to joy, thinking that the Universe had understood that he was not the person I deserved and that he had set up obstacles so that our appointment did not happen.

Right away I ordered another wine that was more expensive and that I had been wanting to try for a long time. I accompanied it with some appetizers with different types of cheese and serrano ham. I turned the story around and turned it into something fun, I was happy that my friend didn't show up, because it gave me the chance to try the wine that I had been wanting to enjoy for a long time haha ​​I was happy being alone with me, I spoiled my palate, I enjoyed background music, remembering alone beautiful anecdotes of my life. I felt happy about the past that I have lived and the present that I am living, in the end I had an appointment with the incredible person who loves and tolerates me, who accepts me as I am and who accompanies me wherever I go!

P.D: My friend called me at 7 pm, saying that he had introduced himself and that he had not found me, that he had misunderstood the time of the meeting, despite his confusion he ended up being a late person. I think that in the cases of appointments, lateness is a reflection of lack of interest and discipline.
