Feelings got hurt
A lady I've known for a long time contacted me when my wife left me. We went out a couple times, but I knew nothing romantic was going to happen, not that I wouldn't, she's lovely.
Last weekend, Sunday, I had gotten up early, had coffee, went to the gym. Around 10 am I was just finishing breakfast, and she sends a message asking if I'd be interested in going kayaking. Her daughter and a friend were going, but a friend of hers who was going backed out because she wasn't feeling well.
Yes, I'll go, otherwise a boring day alone.
Around noon, I contacted her and said to let me know what time to meet.
I had everything ready, bathing suit, life jacket, sunscreen, drinks. By 2, I messaged and asked if she was still going. I kind of knew it wasn't happening
Around 6, she messaged me. Her daughter and friend had bailed. Her friend was feeling better, and wanted only the two of them to go. She said she tried to contact me but it didn't go through.
I know that's an excuse, and I don't believe it for a minute. I figured she knew by noon what was happening, I just don't understand the reason she didn't let me know.
She was apologetic, but I put my day on hold for something that was never happening for me.
I'm not sure how to talk to her if she ever contacts me. I know I was second choice the first time, but second choice became no choice. That shit is hurtful
