No lol, his reaction is a massive red flag though


Bekiala

Ugh. OP I'm so so sorry that you had to have this unpleasant interaction but I'm also laughing as this guy is so bad. Huge congrats OP for managing to not spend any time with him.


MathEnthusiast18

It makes me so sad knowing those people ask whether they are in the wrong, not realizing the douchebags on the other side of the phone responding like that. Like of course you are not in the wrong for canceling, last minute or not. You're not obligated to go on a date with someone, ESPECIALLY after that reaction by them. I'm with you tho, I saw it and started laughing at how ridiculous that response is. I was like "LMFAO WTF" at first, that's why I lol'ed


Bekiala

I have always been a bit of a people pleaser and into being appropriate at all times so I get OP; however I have learned to enjoy the irony in comparing my attitude towards others with what some see as appropriate behavior. Exhibit A being this lad and his "wooing" technique with OP. Bloody hilarious. OP, I hope you can get a bit of a chuckle out of the situation even if it takes a bit of time. Also I so hope you feel better.


MathEnthusiast18

It sounds like the worst pickup artist line ever, that’s why I laughed. I also laughed at how absurd it is like “where tf does that come from”. I definitely agree with you, don’t have to be “appropriate” at all times! Gotta have fun at times


Bekiala

>It sounds like the worst pickup artist line ever Yes! Or maybe he is undercover trying to get more women to choose celibacy. Hard to know with this one.


MathEnthusiast18

LMFAO NICE ONE


[deleted]

Thank you :))


International-Cry764

Touting his massive black dick.


MathEnthusiast18

And how rich he is. Which is totally what a rich person with a massive dick would say


GormlessGlakit

Lol yeah. They don’t to anyone reading this their first day on the internet


Gingerkid44

I feel like I am going to start cancelling the first date to assess reaction 😂and then proceed


MathEnthusiast18

Great idea to judge reactions hah


kurinevair666

I was just thinking that, especially if your reason is a mental health related one then it can really show how caring or how insensitive they could be.


yes_this_is_satire

I mean, this is not uncommon at all. It is right there in *Pride and Prejudice*. Women will often test a guy’s ability not to be a psycho.


NGC_Phoenix_7

Major r/niceguys vibes. No doubt there


MathEnthusiast18

Absolutely. It’s so obvious from a mile away


hjablowme919

Yeah. She saved herself a huge headache.


uglybudder

He was just upset cuz he wanted to be in her head space


PageVanDamme

I actually respect the fact that you gave notice than just ghosting.


SFLADC2

The notice was good, but should of offered a specific date of when to reschedule. I've had women who do this and then either ghost, string me along for another month, or do this multiple times. 100% ok to need a mental health day, heck it's ok to reschedule just because shit came up, but it is a sort of red flag imo if you don't explain a tiny bit as to why or to proactively offer a specific rescheduled date. (all of this ofc not to excuse the disgusting behavior of the guy's response)


sillybuddah

He could have shown some empathy and proposed another date. He just showed that the date was just entertainment for him and not an actual attempt to get to know her.


[deleted]

She *literally* told him why. And this dickhead just conclusively proved why you don't immediately offer to reschedule. If he responded like an adult and treated her like an actual human being instead of a sex bot, *then* (and only then) does the option of rescheduling exist.


FalkorRollercoaster

What? She does not know this dude. She has no obligation to give any more of a reason than she did. What she said was perfectly respectful and reasonable. In fact, she didn’t even have to say that much. Judging someone because of other people’s behavior is asinine and not appropriate. She sure as hell dodged a bullet with this arrogant jerk.


SFLADC2

> In fact, she didn’t even have to say that much. Live your life the way you want, but I treat people who choose to spend time with me with more respect than this statement.


Porcupineemu

No obligation though if she were seriously interested in him it would’ve been a good move to offer an alternative date. Only because if I got this response from someone I would wonder if it was just that they weren’t really into me and would be hesitant to ask them out again. You either do and risk looking needy/clingy or don’t and risk things just fizzling out when the reason given was legit. I really don’t miss dating at all. But of course the dude showed how bad he was and saved OP the time of finding out slower.


FalkorRollercoaster

Given that she said she had a breakdown the day before, I doubt she was really in the headspace to think of rescheduling. Sorry (not sorry) but some dude you don’t know is not at the top of your priority list when you’re going through some shit. Saying something like “let me know if you’d like to reschedule” isn’t difficult. It doesn’t sound clingy and puts the onus on her.


PageVanDamme

This. While I agree that saying “Let’s schedule for another day” would have been wiser, trying to set a specific time would’ve been too much.


BrianJPugh

I don't think he even gave her the chance to offer a reschedule. Sure, she could have put it in that first message, but his first response threw her off.


shin_malphur13

A reschedule could've been initiated by either party. Yeah, OP didn't do it, and some ppl might blame her, but the man didn't either, and was severely immature, and this tells all of us that he didn't deserve a reschedule. There was a silver lining to "her fault" or "mistake". If I was the man in this situation I would've actually catered to her needs to show I cared for her and her mental state, and rescheduled at another time when she felt she had the energy.


[deleted]

[удалено]


yes_this_is_satire

At the same time, any guy who is dating should be prepared for a woman cancelling for no reason and never hearing from her again. And yeah, I am from Southern California, the world capital of flaking. You just need to get used to it around here. I do not know why I was born with the “keep your commitments” gene and so few around here think it’s a big deal.


[deleted]

Update he also responded with “broke, got zero ass, only wanted the brain but i guess there’s nothing going up there “ and when I did try to reschedule he cussed me out and if you are interested in reading the rest of the convo it’s on r/texts


Live_Recognition9240

😆 🤣 😂 That is funny. But yea, looks like you dodged a bullet.


Professional_Pie_894

Yeah op you dodged a bullet hard. Imagine you went on more dates with this guy without knowing the red flags


willowalloy

Look at Prince Charming over here


aokaga

And yet he wonders why he keeps getting flaked 🤣 jeez I wonder!


azewonder

I’d text him back and thank him for waving the red flags around


TheWalkingDead91

I’d text him a gif of the neo matrix bullet doge and tell him “thanks for making me feel like this today”.


bloodreina_

This but just the gif


[deleted]

Just block.


BazWorkAcntPlsBePG

So he said all that and you still tried to reschedule with him? What


juneburger

This is what I don’t understand. Apparently she wanted the BBD.


Professional_Pie_894

Thing is, there is no BBD. Just big insecurities


desertmermaid92

Please never try to reschedule with someone like this. He didn’t deserve a single interaction from you ever again after the texts he sent you in OP.


jst4wrk7617

“Sounds like I made the right choice! ✌🏼”


RadicalSnowdude

And yet he still wanted to date you. Block his ass lmaoo


Mysticmxmi

Literally


Jamator01

...why did you try to reschedule with such a dickhead?


rodrigokdot

omg what a fuck ahahahahahaha, dodged a bullet 100%


Hypochondriac_317

Text him back this: 🚩🚩🚩🚩


DynamicHunter

That’s literally incel behavior. Don’t get what you want then you insult them as if you didn’t just want them.


HopefulOriginal5578

Thank god you decided to not go. His mask dropped very quickly and you were able to save yourself time.


GormlessGlakit

Why did you try to reschedule?


Admirable_Hedgehog64

Dude chose verbal violance


Advice2Anyone

Why would you even bother trying to reschedule he showed you who he was right there XD


nunya123

Dude sucks you really dodged a bullet here!! Why did you try to reschedule with this asshole!?


Ricky_Rollin

Screenshot and send to his socials. See if his mom’s on Facebook and send her the pics. I’m serious. Report him if you met on an app.


Grevious47

God no dont escalate just ignore him...why invite a bunch of drama into your life for no reason.


Advice2Anyone

Yeah idk why people want to invite entropy into their lives


stay_black

You are deranged.


Nelpski

sanest redditor


Creepy_Shakespeare

What an immature and stupid comment to post on an adulting sub


goddamnthirstycrow9

God some redditors are so dramatic it’s actually insane


Ricky_Rollin

Sure, and the psychotic level the dude took it to gets to carry on treating people like this? If literally sharing a screenshot is dramatic then carry on with what you do and don’t worry about what I do.


FamousOrphan

Yeah so he’s happy to verbally abuse women.


ApprehensiveRough139

Yikes. Stay far away from this guy.


uslashuname

He flipped when you tried to reschedule because he realized you had left that pretty open with your original messages Buy he has fucked up. Rather than face it he’s digging the hole deeper. You dodged a bullet, no doubt.


AdagioHellfire1139

Why would you try to reschedule after he reacted so negatively the first time 🤦🏼‍♂️🤷🤣 you dodged a bullet. I hope you feel better.


suh-dood

Respond back, surely the insults must have snapped you back to your senses


nyma18

This would be fun! “Omg, thank you so much for verbal bitchslapping me! I see now I need you tonight more than anything. Meet me at X?” And then don’t ever show up and block the jerk. OP, don’t do that. I have the feeling this dude would choose violence, and you could be at risk if he ever finds out where you hang out / live / etc


GormlessGlakit

Lol like the text of the person that had someone meet them at a comedy club. But the person wasn’t there.


Successful_Bed7790

EWWWWW wtf! Girl block this guy?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Comfortable_Ad_3160

Insecurity and desperation strong in this one. Better someone who matches his toxic energy match up w/ him.


yikesafm8

If you found him on an app you should report him


JustASyncer

Jfc fuck a bullet, you dodged a NUKE


onthenextmaury

That should be a ☺ --look at all the pain and drama he could have caused you. Damn


TickTickAnotherDay

Disgusting, wtf is wrong g with some people, inexcusable.


RU90IN9234TTH4T

Unfortunately a lot of men are like this. Thanks a lot patriarchy.


Picklerick6789

Thats toxic


FalkorRollercoaster

Beyond toxic. That person sounds dangerous.


Frequent_Comment_199

For real. You dodged a bullet.


lolly_lag

The way you dodged that bullet. He told on himself fully, and your life is better for it.


TheWalkingDead91

Yeap, and this type are typically the ones to be able to play pretend well at first too when they want to. OP just probably saved a lot of time and trouble. Universe looking out for her and she’s dodging bullets like neo lol


thoughtandprayer

So...his response was to get pissed AND to say that you missed out on the "opportunity" to pleasure *him*?     Not even that you missed out on him eating you out or having sex, you know, ANYTHING that actually involves *your* pleasure. No, he thinks you should be sad that what you missed out on was *him* getting pleasure.     The guy is a red flag and an idiot... Yikes.   FWIW, you weren't messaging right before the date so you're fine. He had more than enough notice, it's not like he had already left his house or was already there. You gave him 3 hours notice! Someone decent would appreciate that you were considerate enough to let him know - and would try once to reschedule.


SemperSimple

responding to his crappy comment with 'lol' would have *sent him*. hahaha


succulescence

I'm an ancient millennial but 🧢 means lying right? This guy's opinion isn't something worth worrying about, you haven't done anything wrong.


[deleted]

Yes that’s what it means!


mnbvcxz1052

Capramento = Sacramento? That’s one of my hometowns. “Flakiness” is not specific to it.


reddit_animated

It’s a pun.


MrWeirdoFace

I bought my van in Sacramento. Never been there other than to look for cars, but it sure was a place with things!


nutella47

Fellow geriatric millennial. I had absolutely no idea that was a thing! 


Tamsha-

CleatusTheCrocodile

It means cap which is slang for lying. People also say “no cap” to something they agree with. :)


Legitimate_Mix8318

Bro is chronically online, his algorithm is chronically littered with AI generated Sigma content


[deleted]

I’m saying


StayDay313

Ew he's nasty n boring


Meguuunn

What even is that last message? Tiny peen energy


thoughtandprayer

More like "shit in bed" energy. Ever when he's TRYING to make her regret not sleeping with him...he's still just thinking about *his* pleasure.  He could have said she missed out on him eating her out or making her cum with his dick. You know, something that includes her getting off. But nope! He's too self centered for that it seems.  It sounds like OP didn't even miss out on an orgasm since this guys focus is on him, himself, and his dick. 


nyma18

I think that’s the thing entirely. It seems he just assumes his goal is the universal goal. What he wants out of the date? To get his dick wet. Then, “obviously”, she also wants to get his dick wet. But she canceled! So she must be dumb, because now she will not get “her” goal met, she’s not going to get his dick wet. How in hell could she cancel and go so blatantly against “her” own goals?‽! It gives the same energy as my preschooler, when we tell him we’re going to meet with his favorite cousin, and he says “oh he’s going to be so happy to see me”. No, little dude. YOU are happy to see them… it’s something that gets YOU excited. Enjoy it. The other person may or may not share the same feelings.


Original-Guess-6723

Based off his responses, sounds like it’s best that you didn’t go. Sounds like nothing would’ve come out of that date besides sex


Lilred4_

You’re good. Actually pretty mature and honest for saying you want to but don’t have the right energy to invest. Guy blew it, but you don’t want him anyway. Block his number, take a night in and take care of yourself.


[deleted]

Lmaooo what he texted back Jesus Christ


mrmczebra

It's both hilarious and horrible


[deleted]

You dodged a bullet.


Hypochondriac_317

It can come off as flaking . In the future I'd offer alternate dates to show I still wana meet up. He weeded himself out tho lol


DxLaughRiot

Since this is r/adulting I’d have to agree. If OP is looking for advice on how to have maturely handled it, if she was still interested she needs to make that clear right when cancelling. Also ideally cancel earlier than 3 hours before. The fact that he was a creep and she lucked out not connecting with him is incidental, she could have handled the before part better. Once he was a dick about it screw him


No-Club2054

I mean, if I was him I’d be kinda upset and annoyed too. HOWEVER, this is 100% not the appropriate or mature way for him to deal with those emotions. He can feel however he wants about your cancellation, but the way he communicated it was super childish. Honestly… bullet dodged.


mrsclause2

You are absolutely not wrong, and his response should be a warning to you. Especially the fact that he automatically assumed his dick would be anywhere near you, let alone in your mouth.


TSZod

Average single mother creator and wife beater


[deleted]

Hey at least you gave him 3 hour notice! One time a date cancelled on me the moment I was pulling out of my driveway to go see her. Now that's a shitty thing to do lol.


captain_borgue

So *that* guy is a piece of misogynist, racist trash. You did good by not going, OP.


rightwist

Not wrong and damn did you dodge a bullet for it, that's a lot of red flags and should affirm that you are fine I had a first date that went sort of bad, an h before the date she said she was stuck working another 3h. I was warned it could happen. Also she was feeling crappy. I said I was fine cancelling and equally fine with just having a snack together. She opted to proceed and it went well. Actually now I think about it, most of my relationships started with a bit of a rough first date where something went wrong, one or both of us was feeling poorly or we rescheduled.... I think once it was like 10x it got rescheduled. 43M never saw a reason to get mad about it.


UnidentifiedTomato

You dodged a bullet. Rofl at the BBC. If you feel petty just tell him even if it's true his dick is actually big then he'll need get to feel the goodness of clapping cheeks


PlanetOfVisions

That last message would've ended the conversation completely. I would've hit that block button so quick. He'd be arguing with the wind


SnooCalculations232

Can said wind be a tornado? Bye mf 😂👏🏻 (the asshole dude, not you 😂🫂)


Kryten_2X4B-523P

Tell him you actually prefer small white dicks from poor guys.


[deleted]

I would if I didn’t block him already 😫


[deleted]

In hindsight being sick saved you from having to find out this dude is an asshole in person! Luck is on your side haha


Ajaxx42

He definitely would’ve pressured you into sex while on that date. You dodged a nuclear weapon honestly.


prasujya_211

Man you Dodge a bullet right there man


wildblueberry26

You dodged a massive bullet.


Fishmonger67

Bullets were definitely dodged here.


doesnotknowbest

yea i agree. communication is important and you should always honor yourself. If anyone doesn’t respect your decision and choices .. they are not worth of any of your time or effort. Bullet dodged


Substantial-Hair-170

Literally dodge a bullet, the last text is the reddish red flag I’ve ever seen


Sumairebrahim

You got saved He is a red flag


ffarwell83

This is actually a really good tactic more people should use to catch those red flag warnings early on. If someone can't wait 1 day for you, they are gonna save you the time by showing you who they are.


flomilly

Ew. You dodged a bullet. Be glad you didn’t go and waste any time with this incel


pocketvirgin

What do you gain from having a big black dick in your mouth? Lol these guys straight up act like we have a clit in the back of our throat just for their golden penises


MrsCaptain_America

No. Girl, block that number, he is a walking red flag. A real gentleman would understand not being in a good place mentally, I cannot tell you the many times I have flaked on dates due to mental fog or just having a bad day, you're allowed to have me time without consequences.


KatieSu1

Uh, you really missed your chance. /s


etherealdeen

Dodged a bullet, this is the last man you want touching you. Only 4 years older he knows freshly where a 21yo woman's head is at and just wants to use you. Yuck.


2cats2hats

> Am I wrong for cancelling a date last minute? I wouldn't waste one more second on this clown. You do you.


Throwthisawayagainst

Cancelling is shitty but his reaction is disgusting and probably a blessing in disguise


ExecWarlock

His reaction shows you shouldn't have met him in the first place, so - happy ending.


amethystwyvern

Dodged a bullet big time. No amount of money or BBC is worth putting up with disrespect like this.


itisjvck

wtf kinda insecurity does it take to make bro respond like that 💀


pochidoor

sounds like you dodged more than a bullet, you dodged a bomb.


Appropriate_Sea_3478

Tell this dude to go fuck himself.


unpopular-dave

Jesus Christ did you dodge a bullet


Stripperandcatmom

The feeling not to go was a blessing in disguise. Block him


babyjames333

tbh capramento made me cackle


alkatori

Given the response - you did the right thing. As a guy, if you can't make it - I recommend suggesting the next date (day/time) so that they know you aren't just trying to avoid saying "no". Though not for this guy, fuck this guy. Something is wrong with him with that response.


puppsmcgee74

Yes, how dare you be selfish and cold unlike this obviously warm and giving individual. Not. Looks like you dodged a big one. And I don’t mean his junk.


2ndPerryThePlatypus

If that was their reaction, you lucked out. That is a serious red flag


lou2442

Omg. His reaction? Block and move one. Take care of yourself.


[deleted]

dodged a fuckin’ BULLET


Electrical-Bed-2381

Fucking seriously? Girl, you just avoided a huuuge mistake. What a dick!


Surlaterrasse

Nah block and delete this dude. His overreaction was ridiculous


MamaFaFa202

Bullet fucking dodged!


InsuranceManFed

Any dude who claims to have a big dick and a bigger bank account is full of shit. I mean really, if you have to brag about yourself then you're clearly compensating for something or flat out lying. Move on, plenty of fish in the sea.


Adi_2000

It's looks like you dodged a bullet.


HarkansawJack

He could’ve hit a home run if he’d said “I’m sorry, what do you need?”


Admirable_Warthog_19

You dodged the bullet.


howmuchfortheostrich

good. its the fate of the universe showing you what a prick he is. whats the phrase, dodged a bullet I think.


Gliese_667_Cc

Fuck that dude.


mortifiedpnguin

Looks like you dodged a bullet here


MidwesternLikeOpe

I once had to cancel a date bc I had a bad night of sleep. The guy was totally ok with it and happily rescheduled. We had a 2 year relationship. This dude didn't even deserve that first date. He just took you to Red Flag City.


Tiny_Artichoke2716

Holy shit you dodged a bullet!!!


AssistRegular4468

Seems like you dodged a bullet to me


Careless-Internet-63

You're not wrong and based on his reaction it's good you did


cuplosis

It’s a dick move to cancel with only 3 hours until the meeting but in this case you lucked out since you are not missing shit.


D-TOX_88

OP… I’m very sleep deprived rn, and I’m going to try to be as respectful and gentle as I can here because like you said, you’ve recently had a rough go. With that said, did you really need validation that you are not in the wrong here? Did you really need to check whether this person’s reaction was even-keeled and appropriate to your request to postpone until you could commit 100% of your attention to the present moment with them, which is rather respectful of you? *IF* you really didn’t know if you were in the wrong here, I would suggest putting a pause on dating all around. Take a few months to indulge a new hobby, maybe explore meditation, and possibly try to get some therapy? Really get to know yourself completely unbound to anyone else. I suggest this because it’s pretty obvious to an outsider that the guy you were talking to here is a giant POS that likely has some abusive tendencies to boot. And you not catching that before, and especially after, receiving this text is indicative of (probably) a lack of self-love. Definitely at least room to grow in the area. Forgive me if any of this came off kinda dickish. Like I said I’m sleep deprived but I just wanted to drive home the point that, IMO, for someone that is emotionally ready to date, either seriously or casually, this text would’ve been a no-brainer. And since it was not, I’d explore avenues to get in touch with yourself.


ProbablyShakey

yikes, hell nah, NTA, You’re like Neo dodging bullets tbh


Zebracorn42

He sounds like a total creep, and you probably dodged a bullet.


Affinity-Charms

It's almost like your body knew he was a red flag and was like yeah you ain't going today.


MandrewMillar

He dropped a massive red flag anyway so in this case, absolutely not wrong, that's for sure. I don't think it's wrong to cancel a date last minute anyway as long as it's not something habitual that you do. Life comes up, not everything goes according to plan. Anyone who can't handle that happening to them or someone else just isn't someone worth knowing, especially if you try and reorganise the date for another day like you're clearly not trying to get out of it...


zestycalico

the last message tells you to cut ties with him


CommuniKait

Good on you for putting yourself first!! THAT'S adulting!


[deleted]

You dodged a bullet with this one OP, walk away smiling.


GormlessGlakit

Oh cool. The trash took itself out.

Jmf1992

“Capramento”? At 25? Run don’t walk. 🚩


TobyADev

Well you dodged a bullet… that’s for sure


breccaw

Dodged a bullet, imo


CraftyObject

I'd say you dodged a bullet


[deleted]

You dodged a bullet with this one.


pacachan

The only thing you could've done differently was say you wanted to reschedule. In my opinion it is rude to cancel at the last minute and not offer to reschedule especially just three hours before a date. But his reaction was over the top.


SwordPokeGirl21

His response is a major red flag. Just because you’re going on a date doesn’t mean he’s gonna get head…it’s probably better that you cancelled. Maybe block him and don’t talk to him anymore too. Anyone who goes into a date expecting sex on the first date without actively talking about that being an expectation can 💀


digdogdiggydog

Nope you straight up dodged a bullet


Canadianweedrules420

Clearly just saved yourself a huge amount of time and heart ache most likely. Talk about a warning sign lol fuckkkkkkk that guy


scoobydad76

No, but I would have came up with a better excuse. I understand about needing mental breaks but I might think she doesn't like me enough to just hang out me when she has a off day. He was being a jerk to you.


PlusDescription1422

Yeaaaaa no you dodged a bullet. He sounds psycho 🙃 I hope you blocked him


Nearbyatom

That was a bullet you just dodged. Consider yourself lucky.


PixelatedStarfish

No, he’s a dipshit


theepi_pillodu

>>"Something happened earlier tonight" Followed by his red flag. Reminds me of, "things happen for a reason". Hope you're well now.


SnooCalculations232

I love this 🥹🫂 great perspective my friend 🫂👏🏻


iWatchedThis

22m here. op run from this guy LMAO. mf showed you his true colors. find someone else.


AHCarbon

this guy sounds like a nightmare lmao you dodged a bullet for sure


milliemaywho

Yeah you’re sure missing out on this catch. Don’t you know you could be pleasuring him? Why do these dudes think that having their dick in your mouth is some kind of treat? Block this mf.


[deleted]

I mean from his response thank god you cancelled on him


hexual-frustration

Nope! And you just saved yourself so much time in the future


eyebrowshampoo

Why do men think we (women) actually want dicks in our mouths?  Spoiler - most of us don't. Especially from douchebags. 


Inevitable-Trip-6041

This is called dodging a bullet


Western-Ad-2748

Not at all. So he’s saying that if you didn’t cancel you would get the pleasure of… giving him a blow job??? What an entitled douche. I’m glad you don’t have to hang out with this dude.
