It's All My Fault

It's really my fault. I'm to blame because I gave J3 another chance. Yes, J3...he's still been lurking in the background. I agreed to meet J3 on Sunday. At first he wanted to take me to a movie in his area. I said no, he should come to my area. He agreed, and we eventually decided on Sunday at 11:30 a.m. On Saturday, he leaves me a message (I missed his call) saying his plans canceled and wanted to meet up Saturday morning. I texted him, saying "Sorry today i cant meet. See you tomorrow" (exact quote, punctuation and everything.) Sunday, I check my phone at 10:30-ish a.m. My phone had been on silent and I was watching a movie in the morning. First text: (7:11a.m.) is it okay if I get there 10ish? Second text: (8:07am) is that ok. Third text: (8:20am) can you confirm. Fourth text: (at 10:23 am) I am taking your silence as a flake. Would have been nice to confirm with me so I am not sitting around. The voice message: he acknowledged that he realized my phone was off but said that he had not heard back from me so assumed I was flaking.

I called at about 10:30am, said my phone was off, I'm expecting him at 11:30, let me know if he was still coming. He called back while I was in the shower and left a message: he thought I was flaking so he made plans with his ex-girlfriend because 9 out of 10 times when you can't reach someone before hand they are a flake. He'll call again so we can reschedule. I kid you not, he "lightly" dropped that tidbit.

I called back and left a message, and should have reeled at him with expletives, but did not. I did firmly and clearly say he was in the wrong..."what part of see you tomorrow means I'm flaking?" He texted back: "Okay. Sorry to anger you again. Have a nice day." I emailed the same. This time, I said don't email, don't call. And, this time I mean it. Really. Really.
