The Edge of WTF?

The Edge of WTF?

So I thought I had a date this weekend , but I had a call from the lady about 45 minutes before we were supposed to meets saying that she had been chatting with an old FWB and he asked her out that night as well and she decided to go with the known commodity instead of trying out an unknown one...she apologized,said that if it didn't work out she'd "call and maybe we could hook up"...I said no,I'm pretty sure I'm busy,wished her a pleasant evening,a happy life and hung up. I held the phone in my hand for a couple of minutes,kind of letting what happened bounce around inside my head,and then I just burst out laughing...she actually figured I'd understand and maybe even hang around and wait for her to call with sloppy seconds... and that made me wonder, is it now,in 2019, normal to give virtually NO notice (when it's not an emergency) and expect the other party to accept the obvious slight and just be OK with it?
If this is one of the new realities of dating,hooking up,fucking, I don't think this ol' red neck is gonna be down with it. It may not be normal anymore but I was raised to be polite and respectful of others feelings,even if I was dumping on them or letting them down. I really like honesty , but damn, in this case she should have just lied and said she was sick,or had to work, or her died...I really didn't need to know that I'd been knocked back to second choice,especially on what was going to be my 1st date in 10 yrs...kind of kicking the old guy when he's down...lol
Anyway...I'm hoping that was my WTF moment for the rest of this week anyway, but I have the distinct feeling that this new reality of trying to date,enjoy a sexual life, and just generally be "normal" again is going to hand me a few more bumps and bruises to my ego and my entirely too ,dare I say naive , sense of understanding of the new nature of human intercourse.
If I'm wrong, and this instance was just a one off, if she was just an uncaring, selfish bitch,then I'm ok with that, but if this is the way everybody has become,maybe I'm just not ready for reality quite yet. So,if y'all are reading this and you think I'm just too sensitive,let me know, and if I need to re-adjust the way I look at things,let me know, and if you think maybe I did the right thing and politely told her to go fuck herself, also let me know...because, right now, I'm just WTF? and FTW!...and working hard at understanding and being ...Reanimated.

 You did the right thing. She sounds like a bitch. Wait for a good ones.
