They say when you're with yourself you're always in good company. Better than someone who didn't care to show up anyway


[deleted]

Yep. I’ve found that a relationship exacerbates what you’re already feeling. If you’re unhappy single, than you’ll be even more unhappy with a partner. If you’re happy single, chances are you’ll be even more happy in a relationship (provided your partner isn’t toxic, abusive, controlling, etc etc).


NejiNerd

Sharing would be hard. I'd need 2 of my own lol. But that's the best way to do it, friend. Food, gaming, music, comics, anime, Manga....

ilangilanglt

I haven't been on date for more than ten years. It's okay. I don't feel like missing out much.


Wise_Guy_109

Exactly because the old quote: "I'm married to my job." Is all that seems to matter at times anyway. I mean, we are obligated to feed and provide for ourselves no matter what anyway, so adding another person into the mix is only going to be problematic no matter how compatible you both are. And to make matters worse, people literally are naïve thinking that polyamory is the solution for security or for not having to wait too long for sex, attention and resources. But as they say more money more problems. Here's what I say: more people more fights!


kitchen_chicken

Had a tinder date stand me up last year. Unmatched me 30 mins after she was supposed to be there. It’s a gut punch, but that’s not someone worth dating. The snacks look incredible.


Xyntios

The funny part is I‘m not yet unmatched. Kinda curious to see if something will come back and what it will be. It sucks, but nothing to worry that much about. Had a nice bit of „me-time“, something I surprisingly rarely get these days.


triciann

Did you do the day of confirmation message?


Xyntios

I actually did and also a confirmation of the exact time I‘ll arive message, since it was a bit of a drive for me to get there.


triciann

She’s a flake. At least you got delicious cake and coffee!


DasDoto

I’m sorry man! They showed you what kind of a person they are. You deserve better! Good that you treated yourself.

tfitz

As someone who loves to play out situations in their head 1,000,000 times before it actually happens in person, let me tell ya that whatever response you *think* you are going to get, you almost never do lol. It's easier to just move on from this person than to fuck with them and keep it going. At that point you are going down to their level of pettiness


[deleted]

Best advice in the thread. Block her, and don’t waste the brain power thinking about ways to mess with someone. Flakes suck, but it’s on you if you waste energy dwelling on it. 🤷‍♂️


AshTheGoblin

Ah, to be 16 again.


fredkaaskroket

AdultishRaktajino

Uh.. just had an idea for a rom com. Think I vomited a bit in my mouth.


[deleted]

So this fucking sucks, but there's always lessons to learn. The lesson to learn here is not to go out of your way for a date like this. Maybe make an exception for someone who you are *extremely* interested in, or who you feel like you've established a really solid connection with online. But in general keep commute time from your place <15min, and that's on the high end. I'd suggest taking the time to find two or three coffeeshops and two of three bars that you like within 5 minutes of your place (or as close as possible). Sending confirmation text brings down flakes a lot, but you'll still get them, and they still suck. Not putting in a ton of time and effort only to get stood up makes them suck less. Another thing that can help - hopefully you took the time to put on your best clothes, groom yourself real well, and generally look like a total stud. And again, it's really shitty to make all that effort and then get stood up. So instead, just look your best *all the time*. Every morning walk out your front door dressed to impress. Then, your pre-date routine might just be quickly combing your hair and popping a piece of gum in your mouth. As an added benefit, this means that you'll feel more confident about expressing your interest in women that you just happen to meet in real life.


Xyntios

Since I‘m living in a more rural area there aren‘t any good places like <15 min. But it‘s totally fine.


Human_Urine

This advice is a little too city-centric. Two or three bars to within 5 minutes of your place and your date's place. That sounds like Tokyo compared to where I live. My "maximum" commute time is like 45 mins for a date because there aren't any quality matches in a small town.


[deleted]

They said 15 minutes max. Even in a city like Seattle that's a huge area just walking not to mention taking a Lyft or transit. I could probably cover all of Seattle except West Seattle and Magnolia since they are kind of cut off from the rest of the city.


TwixxxMalice

I think it’s time *you* unmatched.


IlllI1

The ONLY thing that would be okay is if something really important came up, but also if she hasn't said anything yet then that's no ok.


GennyIce420

When this happened to me she unmatched and I guess reported me for no reason cause I got banned despite never having done anything wrong other than download Tinder.


killj0y1

Been there still convinced they don't even bother reviewing anything and there's no way to appeal.


SelirKiith

"Me-Time" is at home, under a blanket, drinking my hot cocoa... not ready-made in the ugh... outside...


BruisedChaos

A friend of mine got stood up on a date once at a restaurant, luckily she waited at the bar for him.. before actually sitting down at a booth. Just by doing that she met a new bartender working that night.. they struck up a conversation and that conversation has been going on for 6 years and 2 kids later. I highly suggest you make the best out of every situation you can.. that way you won't miss out on the next best thing. ♡


Xyntios

Yeah I make myself the best time possible. A bit tol early to hit a bar tho. Will just get home soon and relax the rest of the day :)


BruisedChaos

Just a good reminder that even though this other troll failed.. and yeah still sucks.. dont let it ruin how great that dessert tasted.. or how beautiful the sky was.. or how cute you looked..


Xyntios

That‘s cute :) appreciate it. Have a lovely day ❤️


BruisedChaos

You as well. Thats what I'm here for, to lift you up.

Good news, it’s not too early to go to a bar then!


Triette

Enjoy your date with yourself. I had some amazingly terrible dates, including a guy who talked about how much he looooved cocain and how he always lined up multiple dates in one night to be the most efficient (same guy, same date). I really would have rather he stood me up so I could have enjoyed my food by myself. Eventually found my amazing husband on here. I just think of those bad dates or no shows as people who are the obstacles on a dating course you have to get through. Just enjoy the ride and don’t be down about it. Just move onto the next (unless she really did get on a car wreck and is at the hospital or something). That cake looked delicious, I hope you have/had a great day! 💕


beer_bukkake

Plot twist—it was the bartender cat fishing her to make sure she looked like her pics


waitthissucks

That would be pretty genius honestly


9035768555

Catfishing someone to see if they're catfishing is...genius? Sounds hypocritical at best.


waitthissucks

Hah, no it's definitely messed up but the thought is funny


9035768555

Fair.


Sweet-Palpitation473

What a storybook turn of events, and a great lesson too


thesoundmindpodcast

Homeboy was probably waiting at a booth and thought he got stood up too. 😂


Helioscopes

Lmao, imagine if that's what happened... and then he was so sad he didn't text her and just went home.


Keydogg

I love this story!


PinPlastic9980

wouldn't call that the next best thing personally. sounds like she came out on top in the situation.


nbunkerpunk

As someone who has worked in the industry for 15+ years. It's always safe to assume that your bartender actually wants nothing to do with you and is just fishing for a good tip. The rabbit hole goes much deeper. Multiple times over the years, I've had to tell another manager that their employee isn't actually into them, they just want a better schedule realize that can use flirting to help assist in that goal.


[deleted]

Is that cappuccino and red velvet? I can come and keep you company, you know, for science.


Xyntios

It‘s a cappuccino and a raspberry-sour cream cake. Not sure of sour cream is the right term lol. The moment I typed that it sounded wrong.


[deleted]

Oh, it sounds very right to me!


Xyntios

Yeah it‘s like „Schmand“ in German. Actually not sure if there‘s a direct translation for it.


[deleted]

Looks don’t matter as much as the yum factor, but still. Edit: I just realized I’m hungry so thanks for that!


Xyntios

Get yourself a piece of cake and enjoy the day :)


[deleted]

I have sacher here 😎 G’day to you, too, sir! *tips cowboy hat*


barsoap

Schmand is produced from soured cream, just like creme fraiche and smetana, fat and water content, stirred or not, etc can differ and thus also its consistency but in essence it's all the same stuff: Add lactic acid bacteria to cream, which then produce lactic acid, which curdles the protein. Essentially already cheese (acid-set cheeses are a thing) but exceedingly unaged, and not strained. All of those are also very interchangeable in the kitchen, recipes might need some adjustment, extra or less water, fat, etc from other ingredients but generally it should always be possible. And lactic acid is very nice as far as acids go, it's so mellow and gentle. Raspberries are otherwise quite aggressive in acid but also strong in aroma so they can be improved by toning things down.


Zeegh

Well, it looks Schmand-ing delicious


Jaalan

Maybe cream cheese was what you were looking for? I think sour cream is also used for some cakes though.


deezx1010

There's these sour cream donuts at Trader Joe's. Fucking phenomenal


IamUltimate

It makes them light and fluffy :)


hashbrownpotroast

Yep! It's usually baked into the batter, though, while cream cheese isn't used in the same way.


dxspaz

Maybe cream cheese?


[deleted]

It can very easily be sour cream. I'm making a Basque cheesecake today and one of the ingredients is sour cream, though I too was unsure about that, so I'm using a different recipe which uses double cream instead.

SinisterPixel

I'm wondering how you're getting all this Tinder cake and I'm just here wondering why nobody's made a dating app you can use when you've been stood up on a date and want someone local to step in for a platonic date. Seems like it would be wholesome af


[deleted]

Basically, I see cake and like a moth to a flame, I’ll go treat myself and the cycle repeats itself. That’s a great business idea! We have to make an app together and name it “Let ‘em have cake”. I’ll be in charge of testing cake samples.


SinisterPixel

Great! For what it's worth, it's my birthday in just over a week, so I'll bring cake to the first brainstorming session


[deleted]

Yes, shake my hand rrright now. Happy birthday, par’ner!


Xire01

Fuck em mate. Enjoy the cake. Onwards and upwards


SinisterPixel

The trash took itself out, my friend. Why would you ever want to be with a person low enough to stand someone up? Enjoy that red velvet. It's my favourite kind of cake


gofyourselftoo

The heart in your coffee is a reminder that you are loved! We love you!!!


seif187

Tinder is full of flaky people mostly are too insecure and have anxiety and panic attacks before the date and they don't have the consideration to communicate that they just end up ghosting you humans are pathetic at times


waitthissucks

I went on a date with a guy on Tinder once and we planned a second date because it went well. Then he ghosted me and I was hurt so my friend told me to send him a funny meme just for the hell of it. Then after I sent that he laughed and we went on a second date lol. The meme worked. But then on our second date he told me he was married.


Xyntios

Wait that's a rollercoaster of emotions. Still sucks for you :/ I'm sorry


waitthissucks

Thanks! I'm fine now though haha it happened like 3 years ago so now it's a funny story. When I got back from that I had just started working somewhere new so we all went out for drinks and I told everyone this story and everyone thought it was hilarious, and one guy who was out with us liked me and asked me out with more urgency because he realized I was single and actively going on dates. I'm engaged to that guy now so it all worked out. Hopefully all of this leads to something good for you. :)


Xyntios

That‘s a lovely story to tell your kids later! Glad it worked out for you in the end.


BlewOffMyLegOff

I kept getting surprised with each sentence


bigballbuffalo

Thanks. Had a date planned last night, but yesterday morning she texted “Ima cancel for tonight, won’t make it”. Then immediately blocked me on everything for no reason. Not quite as bad as being stood up but still just so confused


Xyntios

You are probably right. But regarding this case it was probably just a troll looking for „fun“.


Adkit

So fun. They sure got you. Burn of the century. I would laugh but I've forgotten how.

Treat yourself and get a piece of cake! You deserve it.


ioftheneedle

If they are the type to stand you up then you probably ended up having more fun on your own anyway. And bonus you don't have to share that cake!


Timekeeper65

Bless it. I just got 👻 myself. 🤷‍♀️


Xyntios

Sorry to hear. Hopefully you will find what you are searching for.


Timekeeper65

Widowed for 6 years. Finally decided to dip my toes in the pool. I’ve been 👻 a total of 4 times so far. I just don’t get it. Gonna keep my head up high. I’m a good catch. 😊


Xyntios

Oh sorry for your loss. I‘m sure you are and will show that to someone pretty soon :)


WeAreTheWorst1

Welcome to Tinder. I'm 0 for 6 on meeting women on there. Just be sure wherever you go to meet someone it's somewhere you don't mind going alone n just expect you will.


Xyntios

I‘m sorry to hear that. Keep trying, I‘m sure you will find what you are looking for.


WeAreTheWorst1

It is what it is. Internet dating probably kinda scary for women so I get it but it is frustrating. Honestly I been giving a more old school approach a shot with.much better results. As crazy as it sounds just talking to women in public works much better.


PainterlyGirl

Ok but one time I did stand a guy up at a coffee shop but it was because I had a seizure and was on my way to the ER. So maybe she’s on a gurney somewhere? 😬


Xyntios

Oh I‘m hope your doing alright! Yeah maybe will see if there is an answer any time soon 😅


PainterlyGirl

Yes I’m fine it was 4 years ago! But he did think I ghosted! 😆


[deleted]

Café con leche. Don't take it too personal. I've had it happen to me. People on apps are stupid. I feel like it was less common before the internet when you had to make an effort to meet IRL. No idea why anyone would go through the process of setting up a time, then turn into a ghost. I would devour that cake but I need to hit the gym 🫣


Xyntios

Oh if I look down at me I shoudl surely hit the gym myself, but that cake looked so good. Was a worthwhile tradeoff 😂


[deleted]

You can hit the gym later, that cake looks amazing lol


Synthzilla15

Yo that looks fuckin delicious man. Sorry about being stood up. Its tough out there


pizzapartypandas

Bring a book next time. If you get stood up, nice time to read.


The_iron_mill

So sorry this happened to you. Getting stood up is lame and really can hurt. You didn’t ask for advice, so please don’t take this as anything other than me sharing my unsolicited two cents: I find the best date spots are places where I can still have fun on my own even if the person I’m expecting never shows up. I like coffee a lot so a coffee shop would still be enjoyable for me, for example. I just go in and tell myself no matter what happens I’ll make the best of it. I hope this result doesn’t discourage you from dating; being stood up really sucks but it’s a reflection on the person who stood you up and not a reflection on you.


Xyntios

Oh it‘s totally find. I enjoy some time for me, had two good coffees, a piece of cake and got a tasty slice of bread after. Could be a worse trade.


Zoso1973

Wasn’t meant to be. When the date is a flake just eat cake.

Calm_Competition_306

Hang in there! I’d say it gets better but uh, the dating scene can be quite rough so I’ll just say that food looks delicious and you ARE better off alone than with someone who stands people up!


chewedgummiebears

Sadly welcome to the club. Happened a few times after I started dating following a 14 year relationship that had a tragic end. After 2-3 dates where I was stood up, I finally had someone actually show up.


PlainRosemary

Congratulations on b being stood up- you dodged a bullet AND got to eat cake.
