30 Funny Times People Got Stood Up for a Date
Getting stood up for a date is enough to send anyone on a downward spiral, but there’s always the possibility that it isn’t personal. One Redditor waited for his date to arrive, and after a few self-deprecating hours of wondering why she didn’t turn up, found out that she had died in a car crash earlier that day. So, while he got ghosted, it was in a literal sense, and it had nothing to do with him.
Other times, getting stood up can lead to a better opportunity altogether. After another Redditor’s date bailed, he headed over to a nearby electronics store to buy a game in hopes of distracting himself. The gaming gods smiled upon him, and he ended up leaving with a brand new PS3 after winning the store’s surprise raffle. Who needs a woman when you can play Call of Duty with the boys?
Other Redditors have shared how getting ghosted paved the way for better things for them, including a venture into mixology, a pancake parlay, and in a number of cases, a beautiful marriage.
