Bad manners

Last night I had a date with Linda from the dating site. She originally contacted me, saying she found my profile 'interesting'. We exchanged a few messages and agreed to meet at 7 last night in Starbucks. Her last message (I discovered last night) was at 10 o'clock saying she would call in the morning. She sent me a text to confirm, and saying that she would call in the afternoon. She didn't.

I left work at 5:30 to ensure I made it on time, but just before 6 I got a text message. It was a while before I was able to pull over and read it. It was from her.

Sorry to do this to you at the last minute, but I have thought long and hard about it and I don't think we should meet.

Sorry? I was both very confused and more than a little angry.

Why would someone wait until the last minute before cancelling a date like that? It constitutes really bad manners to say the least. And her reasons seem very... cryptic.

Oh well. C'est la vie.
