Before I talk about the specific situation - I'm not desperate, I get laid regularly, and I have other options. I just haven't been stood up in a long time and I need a refresher on how to handle.

Me and this chick connected via social media. I slid in her DMs and got her number. Set up a drinks date for last night. She seemed like halfway interested, but she agreed. I even checked with her in the morning.

So I showed up, got a drink, and waited a few minutes. She never arrived. Kinda deflated me. I did not text her. Instead I approached another chick and got her number. Then I called up my buddy and we hung out for the rest of the night.

How could I have handled this situation better? What should I do in the future to reduce the chances of being stood up? And should I contact this flaky chick later?
