nope..afraid I was often the stander upper ! stay on the bus, pass by Binns clock..the oft used meeting place..see what they look like.(.can't remember what they looked like in that dark club the previous week....) get off bus if it looks promising..if not stay on and meet pals at next stop.pre-arranged safety net !!

[Bobbisox1]

Gully have you been on the whacky baccy again ? I think you and the NotNiceBloke and Trimhissorearse definitely were :0))))

[naomi24]

No, and I’ve never stood anyone up either - although sometimes I wished I had. ;o)

[Bobbisox1]

Our meeting place was also under a clock haha , in Northumberland street opposite the fire station under the Northern Goldsmiths clock , I bet every city has a ‘meeting clock’ Minty :0)))

[Bobbisox1]

Naomi you’re too nice, haha

[gulliver1]

BS.... Too much information.

[Gromit]

Mine wasn’t that long ago, and I was able to laugh it off.
A woman had been flirting with me for ages, so I asked her out and she said yes :-)
For some reason I sensed she might not show, and she didn’t. So I did a little wander around town and found one of her colleagues. I explained what had happened and I was able to persuade her to let me buy her a meal. We had a great time. My original date still flirts, but I take no notice.

[Bobbisox1]

Nice little story Gromit, I like it

Never been stood up but i was once 'stood down'. On a first date with a girl who lived nearby, we were at a nightclub she had chosen, getting to know one another, as you do. About an hour into the date, she excused herself and went to the loo. She was taking an age and i began to wonder if she had done a runner. She hadn't, but when she did eventually re-appear it was to tell me her ex was in the club and they were going to try again. She said she was really sorry, etc, etc, and that she didn't expect to see her ex in the club.
I later learned from one of her friends that it was normal behaviour for the pair of them. Have a blazing row, split up, then as soon as one sees the other with someone else, kiss and make up. A lucky escape, methiks :-)

[Bobbisox1]

Oh I think so Ken, I did eventually go on to marry my stander upper though

[murraymints]

aww I love a happy ending Bobbi xx

[fitdarren]

Yes. I was only 15 or 16 and crazy on this boy who lived in the next town. He'd get the bus and all we did was walk around town or sit on benches holding hands, so innocent. Of course I was as madly in love as you can be at that age and one awful day he never got off the bus and I waited for several more to come, but he was on none of them. I walked home in utter despair, I can still remember the pain, but Mum and Dad just laughed at me and said that I'd soon get over it, which I did of course! I stood someone up several years later because I'd also met another boy and I thought I fancied him more, but he wasn't as nice as I thought he was and often regretted standing up the other one - served me right!

[Gromit]

Thank you Bobbisox1,
If my incident had happened when I was young, I would have been devastated. I am now in my fifties, so it was water off a ducks back, plenty more fish in the sea (to mix a few metaphors).

[gulliver1]

09.17 No escape then.

[pastafreak]

I've never been stood up, nor stood anyone up. And is your walk of shame at the same time...or seperate?
Cos I had a few of those when young ;)

[Bazile]

Yes
There i was -Mr Duvall - waiting at the train station with a copy of the times under my arm and a big bunch of flowers in my other hand .

Someone must have pointed out my 3 wheeler van in the car park

[Bobbisox1]

Haha Baz ( just returned from my once a year trip to a quaint tea rooms with my daughter, they sell all manner of quirky things )

[The Builder]

I was fourteen years old Bobb. Stood around and waited for an hour then went home.
I met her again about ten years later. She didn't remember a thing about it (sob).

[Bobbisox1]

So you left a lasting impact then Builder?haha
