Hi, I would like some input to a situation that happened over the weekend.
I made contact with this M on OLD a couple of weeks ago, exchanged a couple of emails and phone calls, organised a coffee for Friday pm. I was late getting off work so was in a rush, checked my mobile for msgs, (none). My computer was down, but i didnt have time anyway to check it. Assumed all ok for meet. Got to designated place (45min drive) and rang him because was not sure where the place was we were meeting. He then said didnt I get his msg's re not being able to meet.

So, he had left msgs, on OLD site (my comp was down) and my home phone which I didnt check. No problem, he was apologetic, and suggested Saturday, we could meet for coffee/lunch closer to my home as I had been inconvenienced. I had no plans, so was fine with that. He was having something delivered in the am around 10, so would ring me after it arrived.

Saturday, 1100, no phone call. I txted to check I didnt have my wires crossed (again). No, was still waiting for appliance, should be soon. By 2pm, was clear this wasn't going to happen, and he was keeping me informed. Phone call with banter about the pathetic service.

Plan was because he had mucked me around so much(very apologetic) we should ditch sat, and do sunday lunch, definite, he had no plans, promise to make it up to me. I was ok with that, had no plans. He was to ring me sat night, but didnt ring which wasnt an issue, I was in bed early.

Sunday, assuming lunch is on the agenda. 1100, no call or txt. I txted to check we were still on to meet. He is out on his boat in the ocean. Doesnt know what time he will be back.

I am now ****ed off. I txted saying "thanks for the early notice". No reply. Txted back saying that "I assume we are now NOT meeting." He replied "guess not, have a nice day".

Stewed for a while, then replied "wow, am disappointed, you seemed nice." Him, "I am nice, what the hell are you on about"
What ensued was an explaination by me, that was on the lines of him mucking me about, promising lunch, if he planning on it today then send me a quick txt saying sorry, lets catch up another time. Expect courtesy.

He didnt agree, saying that nothing had been confirmed, he shouldnt have to explain himself to someone he hasnt met (I do agree here, not contesting), and that we should stop contact.
Fine with me. 3 strikes, he was out anyway.

My issue, is that this M did not feel compelled to contact me in the morning to say he wouldnt make lunch, when he had made a definite commitment the previous day. No time was organised but he was INSISTENT that he make it up to me. Even a txt to say was going out and would be back late, can we catch up then, would have sufficed. But just to leave me waiting ****ed me off, and although my weekend wasnt wasted, I felt like I was waiting around for him to contact me.

Ok, maybe I shouldn't have done the texting thing when I was angry, but I did hold back. Should I not have texted at all?... but then I would have waited around and just gotten angry....
Was I in the wrong here? Was I wrong in assuming that we were doing lunch? I want to just say this M is a complete jerk, but would like to learn some lessons here.
Please be kind!!!!!
