I feel so bad. I started dating a guy about a month ago, and so far we have a ton of chemistry, talk every day, and have just had a great start. We are on opposite scheduled with me working a 9-5 job, and him working nights about 4 might a week. We’ve still made it happen to get together. Yesterday morning before he went to sleep he asked me if I wpuld like to get together that night, and I didn’t have plans so I agreed. He slept and I went about my day. I hadn’t heard from him anything concrete what we were doing, so I texted him around 7:30pm. Sometimes he does sleep this late so it wasn’t a huge deal. Well I laid down on my bed to read a book and fell right to sleep, accidentaly. I woke up to two missed calls and three texts at 12am. I tried calling back but he was already asleep. I am sure he’s going to think I blew him off. I apologized and explained, but if I were him I probably would be really irritated. What do I do now? I have new perspective on the “falling asleep” excuse.

Hi. All you can do is apologise and ask for another chance. He may think youre a flake but its up to him and whats meant to be will be so if it doesn’t happen it just wasn’t meant to. No hassle. Next x

Give a sincere apology. Call him on the phone, do not do it by text.
Oh my goodness, I am sooooo sorry. When I was waiting to hear from you, I sat down and started to read and I fell asleep. I woke back up at midnight! I feel terrible about standing you up, what can I do to make up for it? I feel terrible that you were waiting for me – I am soooooo sorry. I really wanted to see you and I really hope this will not effect anything between us.
Done.

And do this immediately!

I agree. Call him. No text it need apolpgy by voice and when he agree meet you again apologise face to face again. He might be angry 1 day, don’t take it personal but if he really interested after 1 or 2 days he will forgive you and believe you. I made same mistake with my bf and he was really pissed first but later he understand I work alot and from than I sometimes even skip my sleep for dating him. And he see my effort and appreciate and understand work somethimes really though

Actually, I don’t think you need to apologize. You waited until 7.30 with no word from him. If he wants to see you, this will teach him to make better, more solid plans.

This happened in an episode of Scorpion recently. One of the Scorpion team asked another member out and he got nervous and took an anti-anxiety pill and fell asleep and missed their date. See if you can watch it. Watching it with him might inject some humor.

Okay, so I talked to him actually shortly after I posted this. He said that it’s okay and though he was disappointed he understands and believes I didn’t do this on purpose. We rescheduled for this evening and in relieved he did give me another chance. I tend to feel overly guilty about things sometimes and get too upset with myself, and this was one of those times. I said my apologies and tons him to have a good day, and he said, “Wait…thats it? We’re done talking?” He’s over it but I’m having trouble letting it go. Oh well.

He likes you :-). Please let it go. Guys could let things go very easily and he wont want to have it brought up again. have fun tonight and don’t mention it again! And don’t fall asleep!

You have different schedules, he should understand that. I don’t think it’s a big problem, can happen to anyone and if he took it well then you let it go.
Ciara
Aww he clearly likes you!
Go on the date, put your guilty feelings away and Do Not Apologise again! Don’t bring it up!
Sin
To be honest, I’d say it is alright because he did not make concrete plans with you anyway. Just be really nice and offer a sincere apology (which you did I gather:) and also suggest to him that in order to avoid such situations you can make concrete plans going forward (Like the kinds that say, See you at XYZ place at say, 8 pm).
Good luck :) xx
