more specifically, here's how it happened: he suggested lunch on Friday. I had a client coming in so wouldn't be able to make it and suggested another day. Much back-and-forth as to date, time and location. We more or less settled on Saturday at a place near me, but hadn't confirmed or settled on a time by the time I left work for the weekend. Rather than do the sensible thing (email back to say "I'm leaving work now, but call me at this number to confirm and I'll see you tomorrow") I left it at that, vaguely assuming that if he did show up he would either drop by my apartment (where I have lived for five and a half years; he's been there) or call me (I'm in the phone book and I'm the only person with my last name in the Montreal phone book, so I'm not hard to find). But he did neither of these things, so I didn't go, and I got in to work on Monday to see 3 emails from him -- two agreeing on where to meet, one with a "Where were you?" subject line. Naturally, since I didn't quite have a plan for dealing with this, I did my best to ignore it for four days.
*deepsigh*
So I don't feel altogether guilty about standing him up, but I do rather wish I'd answered the email right away. Thus does my mind work.
