A Drunken Mess
This is one of those disastrous dates where both parties have to take the blame for it. There is absolutely nothing worse than showing up on time for a date only to be stood up with no explanation. So, in this case, we can commiserate with the guy. If you get stood up, then downing a drink or two or even more is acceptable!
Unfortunately, he wasn’t stood up. It was too late to come to his rescue and I’m sure he regretted it after. After being shoved into the car and his date escaping, he probably has learned a thing or two about patience. One could argue that maybe she should have called to let him know that work had gotten the best of her.
