Have You Ever Been Stood-Up For A Date?
Have you ever stood anyone up?

It's a horrible feeling... I was stood up once. After about 30 minutes I figured it out, but decided to wait for the full hour before leaving.

1. Awwww, Allen. Who would ever stand you up?
I have never been stood up, but my dating career was short and pretty much lackluster. ;) :hug: I'd never stand you up.

9. I was crushed at the time... but it's been almost 25 years ago...

PS: Lackluster dating career? No reason to complain about that... dating sucks! If you're successful at it, then dating doesn't last long. So a shorting dating career doesn't mean "lackluster" it means you were GOOD at it. :hug:
