She Canceled A Second Date After The Guy Crudely Messaged Her, But Then He Sent A Video Of Himself Crying And Showed Up At Her House With A Guitar He Bought Her
For an entire week, this girl spent every single day chatting with a guy before agreeing to meet up with him for a first date.
He invited her out to dinner on the early side, and when they were done, they took a walk together. She thought he was sweet, charming, and full of patience.
She even had to step away and take a couple of important work calls during their date, and he didn’t hold that against her at all.
“I felt bad for having so many interruptions, but he was so casual and kind about it,” she explained.
“We walked around the park and talked for several hours. It felt like a perfect date. We went to Guitar Center to find strings for one of his guitars, and we played for each other in the acoustic room.”
“He took me home and asked if he could kiss me goodnight at the end. When I declined, he was a total gentleman about that, too.”
For their second date, he asked her to go to a state fair with him. He lives close to it, and his family owns a piece of the land where the fair is held.
He then told her that he spent two decades dipping apples at the fair and knew all of the cool spots. She was thrilled to go to the fair for date two since she owns a very expensive camera, and she was looking forward to getting to photograph the lights of the fair at night.
They agreed that she would drive an hour out there, meet up with him, and they could check everything out while snapping photos and enjoying some funnel cake.

She got off work that night, raced to get ready for the date, and hopped in her car to head over. She texted him to say that she was on her way and her ETA was 6 p.m.
Half an hour into her trip, he aggressively texted her, trying to hook up with her. It was so gross and out of left field.
So far, he hadn’t acted in a crude or crass way at all, and this was nothing like the messages they had exchanged so far. She was so horrified she hoped he meant to send those texts to another girl.
“I was horribly disappointed and confused by it. After realizing what was happening, I basically said no hard feelings, but I wasn’t interested and was going to pass,” she said.
“So I’m dressed up and viscerally disappointed and almost an hour from home…luckily, I had a couple of friends who lived near the fair, and I met up with them, and we all had a great night.”
“Throughout the night, he ended up sending me over 30 text messages, sent two voicemails, and a video of himself crying, begging for forgiveness.”
She declined to reply to his barrage of messages. From there, he wrote her a message through the dating app they met on since she had no choice but to block him on her phone.
After she got home that evening, she found chocolates and a bouquet of flowers sitting there by her front door that this guy had delivered to her.
At 10 a.m. the following morning, he literally showed up at her home with one of the guitars she played on their first date at Guitar Center. It was gorgeous, and the case he picked out cost nearly as much as the guitar did.
“When I answered the door, he said he got it for me as an apology,” she continued. “I told him that what he was doing was insane, and this isn’t how you fix things or apologize for anything.”
“I told him he wasn’t welcome at my house uninvited. My defenses were activated, and I think I was sort of crazy-eyed at him. He pathetically apologized again, and left the guitar at my door, and thankfully, actually left. He texted me and asked if I could still talk to him.”
“I told him I was uncomfortable with the whole situation and I asked that he not contact me anymore. He said he would leave me alone, but it would hurt.” He asked that I not return the guitar but do whatever else I wanted with it or give it away.”
So far, he has respected her wishes and refrained from reaching out to her or showing up at her house unannounced.
“Now I have a very expensive Washburn with spooky vibes sitting in my living room that I haven’t played since before it belonged to me,” she concluded.
