One time I was meeting someone for a second date. I got a seat at a table outside. There's a fence and a gate between that area and the sidewalk.
I see her walk by. She sees me. She waves. She keeps walking and is gone.
I'm have so many questions. I text her.
Turns out she didn't know there was a gate in the fence there and thought you had to go like around the long way, but for solid moment I thought she was like aggressively standing me up.
We dated for a few years and are still friends.
If I were her, I'd totally try to look super-cool and hop over the fence. This would probably end with me hurting myself and/or looking like an idiot.
Then you get sympathy and a story to tell at parties. I see no downside.
Sounds like your date didn’t pan out, bud.
