thanks for the encouragement. I have been thinking about this, should I ask her again in a way that would make her feel guilty about standing me up? or should I just brush it off like nothing happened? "dust myself off and try again"?
Talk to her in a way that gives the impression of "You standing me up didn't affect me much at all, but it's too bad it happened".
Don't make her feel guilty or start bringing this up at all. That's only gonna show you've been thinking about it all this time.
Brush it off. Too bad she didn't come with, but you'll try set something up for next time.
Yeah and btw, don't let that first guy's reply affect you in any way. He pretends to be cool by "not reading pick-up lines and books" himself, even though he secretly has no social life and would give anything to be in the position that you're in.
Good luck!
