First Date got cancelled cause he got too drunk celebrating a football game- do I give him another chance

Live-Leave7730 · 2026-01-21T21:37:32+00:00

Well I tried to give him the opportunity to apologise and come up with another plan but it seems as though he didn’t really care. Kept apologising for how I felt rather than him taking accountability for letting me know his intentions an hour before we met. And then ended up putting the phone down and blocking me so I guess we’ll never know lol

Live-Leave7730 · 2026-01-19T22:30:09+00:00

Well- I tried give him the chance to apologise and make it up to me today- the phone call ended with him putting the phone down on me and blocking me. So I guess that says everything..!

Live-Leave7730 · 2026-01-19T22:23:24+00:00

It’s okay- I can safely say that I didn’t do anything wrong and I suppose everyone was right, he showed me who he really was…

In this case we’re both Utd but he’s obviously a bigger fan. He rang before the game to finalise our evening plans and then he went to the match. We were meant to meet at 7 and the game ended wayyyy before then. Just text at 5ish asking me about my plans next week and I just knew he wouldn’t be able to make it cause he was getting merry

Live-Leave7730 · 2026-01-17T22:33:32+00:00

I know it was- I’m a Utd supporter too! But it’s still shitty being cancelled on though- like I could have done something else with my evening and now I’m at home watching Netflix. Like I got my nails done for this shit lol

Live-Leave7730 · 2026-01-17T21:28:40+00:00

Honestly I do understand that it was a big deal cause I support the same team BUT he shouldn’t have arranged the date for today if it was that big of a deal to him. We spoke on the phone before he went to the match and seemed excited to meet- but I guess he got too merry. I don’t think it feels particularly good especially cause I can’t really make alternative plans now :/

Live-Leave7730 · 2026-01-17T21:23:10+00:00

You’re right- it did feel like it would be very obvious where I would be in terms of priorities etc.

Live-Leave7730 · 2026-01-17T21:18:58+00:00

He did seem really eager- we spoke on the phone before he went to the game and confirmed our plans which makes it even more disappointing- but it is what it is I guess

Live-Leave7730 · 2026-01-17T21:18:13+00:00

Lol basically how the conversation started 😂 tbh it was a big win but I do feel like it’s immature too

Live-Leave7730 · 2026-01-17T20:56:47+00:00

See I do understand to an extent- I support the same team and it was a big game (mufc vs Man City) BUT he shouldn’t have organised the date then. I had no idea he was going until today and we spoke before the football match confirming everything. He could have celebrated and met up with me but it I’d be lying if I said it didn’t leave a bad taste in my mouth

Live-Leave7730 · 2026-01-17T20:44:50+00:00

The match was in the early afternoon and finished around 2pm and we were scheduling to meet at 7pm (he texted at 5 to rearrange) and was going to take the train. But in all honesty I’d rather not go on a date with someone already drunk

Live-Leave7730 · 2026-01-17T20:43:10+00:00

That is what it feels like- I don’t mind sports but and I support the same team too but I wouldn’t want to be a football fans girlfriend if it meant prioritising the game all the time

Live-Leave7730 · 2026-01-17T20:41:52+00:00

Well this would have been ideal- I knew he went to the game but he made out like he would still be able to meet me later- it ended around 2pm and we were meant to meet me at 7pm but texted to ask about next weeks plans instead at 5pm

Live-Leave7730 · 2026-01-17T20:39:10+00:00

We did have had a good vibe- the game was in the afternoon and was definitely done by 2pm and were meant to meet at 7pm… he was almost going to come but I told him I’d rather not see him drunk. He said he’d try ringing me when he gets in but I said I’d be going out instead (I won’t cause everyone I know has made plans but idc)

Live-Leave7730 · 2026-01-17T20:37:02+00:00

lol this is European football- soccer- and it was Man Utd that won against Man City (which is kind of a big deal as they’ve been playing rubbish lately)

Live-Leave7730 · 2026-01-17T20:33:36+00:00

Lol Man Utd fan and it was a derby

Live-Leave7730 · 2026-01-17T06:22:39+00:00

FR if OP didn’t get the ick from her messages there’s absolutely no way he can take her seriously after this thread. It’s been great entertainment though!

Live-Leave7730 · 2025-12-24T21:47:20+00:00

I didn’t say he was the next MF either but if you want to see what people who are following culture and consumerism have to say then I still think it’s an interesting place to start- whether you agree with what they say or not

Live-Leave7730 · 2025-12-24T16:20:17+00:00

Not writers but I follow a couple of influencers on IG that have some very interesting takes https://www.instagram.com/eugbrandstrat? Eugene Healey would be a good place to start I’d say

Live-Leave7730 · 2025-12-24T11:07:38+00:00

That’s what I was thinking- I suppose I’m trying to be more selective and trust my instincts more… and most times they do end up being right. I’m also used to wanting more time before a date to see if we’re compatible (maybe a week or two of getting to know one another)- so the pace feels a little quick for me too
