Ugh! Worst first date ever. Should I give him a second chance?

No guy, I repeat, NO GUY simply forgets a date---especially if they're interested in the girl.
It's good that you put yourself in a position where you get to decided whether or not he's worthy of you. Maintain your composure and see other guys---if he's really sorry, he'll step his game up and make it up to you.

How the hell do you forget about a date? Seriously... On giving him another chance, I'd say definitely not.


Forgetting about a date, FTL.

tell him,"I don't know, that was pretty thoughtless and rude to forget like that. Why should I give you a 2nd chance?" He'll bend over backwards if he isn't a total d-bag.

If you think the guy has redeeming values, then one more chance might be OK. But you are right to think that he has had strike ONE and TWO.

Batter up...

Good Luck

he shouldn't forget, so he doesn't deserve a second chance

If I forgot about my date.. I would be on the girl's tail making sure that she knows I actually forgot by a complete accident and also I'd make sure that she knows I'm really sorry.

If he's showing only a mid-level of regret it's not worth it. If he's fighting for your second chance, go for it.

Give the other guys a chance who asked you out. Don't text him again. Don't call him again. Plus are any of the other guys cuter or more charming? If one of them is, then he is the one worth spending your time with.

Its clear you like the guy since you're considering giving him a second chance. Instead of living the next month of your life wondering what the date would have been like in the back of your head, why not get give him a second chance? If it makes you feel more comfortable tell him that its just as friends. Make sure you let him know he's dug himself a deep hole and has some sucking up to do. Then over dinner let him know how you felt about what he did and see how it goes. But be careful not to let your guard down too early. And when your finished with the date and you finally realized he is an idiot (considering that's the only way you can forget about a DATE! ) then you walk away with a free meal and a clear mind.

If a guy has a date he should be excited and thinking about it way before it even happens. How in the hell do you completely forget?

The only plus he has going for him is that he didn't lie or try to wriggle out of it. He still isn't worth your time, if he was really interested there would be no way he would forget.

Don't give him a second chance. I think "Good" is the best response.

Honestly, what self respecting woman would go out on a date with someone who did this? If you were a priority, he would not have forgotten. Move on, millions of other fish in the sea. Don't even bother to respond, it's not worth it.

DON'T give him another chance. How important can you be to him if he could completely forget the first date with you? If he's really into you, that would be the biggest thing of his day. You should give him another chance only if you don't care to be on a date with someone who's not too into you.

I would give him another chance, or at least a chance to explain himself. I would say "hey, what happened? I'm not used to waiting for guys, ever. It's a little disappointing."

I wouldn't even give him another chance. But I know it's hard to listen to people when they say what you don't want to hear. So if you do decide to give him another chance, I would be blunt with him and tell him like it is and make him earn his trust with you.

idk girl... id tell him how you fell then make your decision... if he is truly sorry about it...then id say why not... but making you sit there and wait on him like that was pretty sh*tty on his part... make sure he knows that its not acceptable... and it will not be tolerated... a gentleman is a gentleman... no ifs, ands, or buts... plain and simple!

He doesn't deserve to get another chance. If he likes you seriously he will never forget meet up plan.

tell him up front your standards! ask him uncomfortable questions about why he didn't show up on time and forgot. watch his reactions, then you decide if he deserves a second chance!

No dont! no way!He totally forgot your first date, and he was the one that asked you out!Unless he was seriously ill or had a death in the family ( I highly doubt it!) it was totally unexcuseable!The fact that he forgot and even admitted it just shows what a jerk and an idiot he is!

Did he has a good reason for forgetting the date? Like his mom fell sick and has to rush her out to hospital or like his work calls him to work late? If he doesn't have a good reason, I will just not give him a second chance. I will hang out with him if he ask but not as a date, as a friend and that's plainly it. If he's into you, he won't forget at all and the bad part is that you have to text him first so I mean he's not showing effort to tell you that he's looking forward for this date. I will text him back saying it's ok but it's pretty disrespectful.

second chance but make suree he gives you a outgoing date you remember x

no, no second chance, don't give it to him.
he will do it again, that is foolishness to forget a first date with someone .. if you like someone that is on your mind constantly you don't forget that.

i think he was with a other women
and you should tell him that and what he say

Nope, forget him unless he comes to your house to say sorry and set up another date. If a man is really interested this is something he wouldn't forget. Forget him,if he pursues you I would maybe give him another chance but only if he puts fouth a full on effort.

Prometheus is spot on. How in the world could he forget? Don't give him a second chance. Also, how well do you know this guy? When I see that his idea to make up to you is to pick you up and spend the whole night with you, that is interesting that he was able to avoid a first date where the 2 of you met somewhere and try to ramp it up to something like picking you up. If you don't know him well, that would be a very bad idea, but I am sure you already know that.

He's a jackass!
Don't be a doormat, or desperate!

WTH do you need HIM for? You deserve better.

ok. how long in advanced did yall set up tis date? the day before? a week ago?

Definitely not too harsh. Nicely done. If a guy asks a girl out to dinner, HE should be there first. With bells on! He forgot? When did you plan the date? Even a week isn't enough time to forget a beautiful girl you're hanging out with later. Should you give him a second chance? Depends. If you like him and are that interested in seeing him, he has got some serious making up to do. From here on in, I wouldn't put any effort behind advancing the relationship. If he wants it badly enough, he will try to redeem himself, and push for it to happen. I'm talking, calling off the hook, and possibly playing the lyre outside of your window 2 in the morning. But really, though...what I think...forget it. Give the next date to someone who can't help but remember you.

don't do it.

Any man that looks forward to going on a date with you will drive through a tornado/snowstorm/5 o'clock traffic to get to your date. He won't forget. This "gentleman" does not deserve a second chance. If you decide to be extra forgiving, you can have him plan everything. I'm sure he knows you're upset, so there's no need to make sure he knows. If he isn't willing to go the extra mile to make it up to you, he doesn't deserve you. There's no excuse for "forgetting" a date... aside from an emergency (death of a friend of family member, or he's in the hospital.)

For someone to just forget...that's a poor excuse. Don't give your time to reply to the text and NO to a second chance. It makes you look weak or desperate. If his excuse was better, maybe like car troubles, got called into work or was hospitalized...something more then "Oops I just forgot" - then yes go give it another try. But since he didn't - move on - like you said other guys want to go out with you. Good luck!

hmm maybe a bit too harsh. But you have to let him know that you annoyed with him, or else he will just mess you about even more. I wouldn't give him a third chance. :)
