    I had a scheduled "hangout", to take a class with a woman I know from my local gym. I live nearby, and figured I'd go in at the time we were going to meet and let her know (we hadn't exchanged #s as yet.)

    I was surprised at how much she was amazed that I'd come by to say I couldn't make it.

    Is it a general MO that people don't communicate? Or stand people up often? I felt awkward for receiving thanks for such a small gesture. Actually I was the one who was apologetic for not being able to attend. Sometimes I think I communicate a little too much though.

    • Sorry for the typo in ¶1
      I wanted to let her know that I was unable to attend the full 60mins of the class -plus have a small hip injury I'm resting from :(
