Getting stood up is like starting a sitcom, but it's just the pilot episode, and the network cancels it before you even get to the opening credits. It's the shortest-lived series ever, and you're left with a bunch of unanswered questions, like, "Did my date even exist, or was it just a figment of my imagination?"
And then there's the sequel – "Stand-Up and Sit Down." It's a show about the aftermath, where you spend the next day sitting on the couch, contemplating the meaning of life and wondering if you'll ever find someone who appreciates your unique brand of humor.
I guess every comedian needs their own sitcom, even if it's just a one-episode wonder. So here's to the failed stand-up special that is my love life – canceled before it even had a chance to bomb. Cheers!
You know, I recently got stood up on a date. Yeah, I showed up at the restaurant, feeling all confident, ready for a night of romance. But you know who didn't show up? My date! I waited there like a lost penguin in a tuxedo.
I'm thinking, did I miss a memo? Is there a secret society of stand-up-ers who decided, "Let's mess with that guy tonight"? I even checked my phone to make sure I wasn't on an episode of some hidden camera show. But nope, just me and my calamari, feeling like the star of a solo comedy special.
So, I did what any self-respecting person would do – I ordered dessert for two and ate it all by myself. And let me tell you, that chocolate lava cake never judged me for getting stood up. It was there for me in my darkest hour, covered in vanilla ice cream.
Getting stood up is like entering the Ghosting Olympics. You're sitting there, twiddling your thumbs, wondering if your date got stuck in traffic or if they transformed into a magician and disappeared. And you're left with that sinking feeling, like you've just been ghosted before the first date even happened.
I thought about getting a podium and awarding myself the gold medal for surviving the stand-up, but then I realized that's just a sad solo Olympics. I'd be the champion of my own loneliness. But hey, at least I'd have a shiny medal to show for it.
And if you're wondering, the silver medal goes to the person who bails after the appetizers, and the bronze is for those who vanish right after the main course. It's like a progressive disappearing act. Who needs a date when you can have a medal collection?
You know, getting stood up is a lot like ordering takeout and waiting for it to arrive. You're hungry, excited, and then suddenly you're staring at an empty doorstep wondering if you should eat that leftover pizza from three days ago.
I thought about leaving a review for my no-show date on the imaginary dating app for the chronically tardy. "Five stars for making me appreciate my ability to entertain myself." Or maybe we should start a service where you hire someone to stand in for you on a date – a professional stand-upper.
Imagine, you pay someone to show up, laugh at your jokes, and then disappear mysteriously. It's the perfect solution. And if the date goes well, you can hire them again for the sequel. Just think of it as outsourcing your social life.
