My girlfriend and I made plans the other day with an old friend from High School. He said he'd call me and he never called and never showed up. My gf and I worked hard to get ready and waited around for HOURS!! Nothing. This is the LAST time I wait for anyone. Time is valuable. I'm 34 years old and I have lots to do. People from high school don't change....I've seen that. I've spent my years living for my friends but....all I have gotten was heartache....and I've kept going back for more thinking things would change. I was wrong. VERY wrong. They never change...the clock does. It's so hard when all you wanna do is make people happy and I've done that too many times and all it's done was bite me in the ***. You'd think I'd have learned by now but, alas, I haven't. This goes to all the other males and females who work hard in their life to make people happy and want to see smiles. I do, I love smiles and happiness. Might as well come to reality and just say this is hell on earth cause that's what it seems like sometimes. I know they say life is how you make it. And I swear if one person says that in this thread....never mind....deep thinking here. I have made life for myself and my gf pretty nice. Very happy the two of us are....(lol...sounded like Yoda just now)I've made my life pretty happy but, someone always knocks it down. No matter who it is they knock it down. People can say they aren't selfish but, in some way or another they're lying. I've heard too many girls tell me and I quote "I'm different than other girls" well bleh bleh bleh. I've heard it all and end up getting screwed. That's why I'm glad I met my gf now. She's sweet and very kind. I don't want her to experience what I just went through with this friend from high school.
I'm sorry about this rant but, I can't sleep and I have to be at Borders book store in the morning for the DAVE MUSTAINE signing. Oh well, he'll understand that you could blindfold me with dental floss. Let me know what you think about your life.....I want to hear it. Email if you want too. I'm a good problem solver becuase well....I think with this rant....I solved my own. Always can use friends and people who care. Always remember "Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me" and don't stick around to be fooled three times......PEACE OUT!!!!

Two things come to mind, first I hope you have a forgiving heart in case the friend had an emergency and could not call because during the emergency you were the last thing on his mind. Second, if this friend was the type to do this behavior before, you should have known it might have happened and made back up plans. You did not mention if you tried to call him to check where he was, you just said that he was to call. Nothing wrong with your dialing his number is there? The phone works both ways. All around it sounds like a tad bit of miscommunication on both parties. Learn from it and then let it go, you will sleep better.

Actually I did call...I called 3 times and even left messages....not a response was made....so yes...I did call. Sorry, I should've said that in my rant...

No need to be sorry, you did your part of trying to communicate. Just chaulk it up to lesson learned. And since I am a beliver that the person is innocent till proven guilty, lets hope that there was an emergency and his phone got broken. LOL But you know him better than I do, so maybe he is just a jerk. LOL
