You are Krazy? With a nice flower bouquet... (I think I know how a lady would feel)

I would hope that you had a very, very, very good reason (something like a sick relative) for cancelling and an even better reason for not telling me sooner. If that's the case then phoning up, apologising profusely, turning up with a bunch of flowers, taking me out again and being extra especially nice would probably work. If you didn't have a good reasion, forget it mate, you're dumped.

It depends on for what reason you cancelled the date and if you were truthful about it. If there was really something important that came up, a simple "I hate that I had to cancel," would do. If you were just a jerk and lied about the reason and I found out, or just decided you didn't want to go at the time, probably no apology would do.
-
why would you bother to come to my house to cancel. why not call, so that would mean you decide to cancel once you got to my house. you cant apologize for that.
-
I would appreciate that you canceled in person (if that's what you're doing). Bringing some small gift (like chocolates) would help, and immediately making new plans so that I know you're not just backing out. But definately the chocolates. Chocolate solves everything. ;) Or something creative like a single Tiger Lily. Don't make up a story about why you're canceling. If you don't want to say, find an extra charming way to say so. Because if you lie and I find out about it, you're so dumped.
-
I'd probably be relieved, because I didn't want to go in the first place. Then I'd be back in the house, no need to apologize.
-
I would definitely be mad. You should have called to tell me you were going to cancel rather than just appear at my door and leave me waiting, only to find out the date was cancelled. Apology? Hmmm, I don't think I would accept it. *unless it involved money. haha, jk.
-
i would appreciate the apology instead of nothing at all. but don't expect me to jump at the chance for a second date so eagerly!

Apparently, "REJECTED!" But, LIFE happens, and so does new experiences; but you would never be able to ask for another date. Unless, it was something extremely serious (e.g. death, illness, etc...) If you are interested in me, you could apologize by saying, "Alympia, something serious happened to me(give reason), and I will not be able to take you on a date tonight. But, can I make it up to you." If you are not interested in, and you are not able to be honest about it. You apologize this way, "Alympia, you are a nice person, with a great personality, but, I am not interested in dating you; and can we stay friends?" That is how I see it; for me!

I would likely be pissed off, but it may depend on a couple of factors. What is your reason (e.g. was it a death or sickness in the family, pet run over, work emergency or just a football game)? Do you sincerely feel bad? Why didn't you let me know sooner (before I got ready)? It would also help (hate to say it) if the guy brought something to make me feel better, e.g. flowers, a mocha, dinner for me at home... This way I would feel like he actually cared about wasting my time.

Well, if you at least have the decency to show up and cancel, that does say something. I would tell you to wait two weeks and if you are still serious, try again.
