The standard reaction to being stood up is to head home to drown your sorrows/eat Nutella from the jar/cry over your Twitter feed, while slowing rocking backwards and forwards.
But, not so for Blaine Gibson, who describes himself on his Twitter page as ‘part-time superhero, full-time romantic’. Blaine’s made of stronger stuff. When life gives him lemons, he goes out, gets wasted and live tweets the entire night.
Wherever that girl is today, she’s no doubt kicking herself that she missed out on a night with Blaine. Unless she’s not a fan of froyo and bull riding. In which case, not so much.
Blaine’s evening began with a bad feeling.
What’s protocol when it comes to determining if you’ve been stood up on a date?
It’s been 20 minutes.. I’ve got a bad feeling..

To text or not to text.
The waiters are giving me looks of pity. I’ve ordered my first drink. Radio silence. I’ll give it 10 more minutes before I text her.

There’s always time for shishito peppers.
No response still. I’ve asked for the check. As well as Some delicious shishito peppers.

That drink just kicked in then.
Not to sound totally Miss America, but I hope she’s ok and not in some sort of accident.
Alright Twitter, WHO WANTS TO GET WASTED!?

Oh what a night.
This guy got stood up, so he took his Twitter followers on the best (date free) night of his life
