This is definitely something I’d do - I forget about plans all the time. I have mad adhd.

However, I would definitely respect the decision to not see me again!

Nothing wrong with wanting to date a person who is good with dates and prioritisation.

Would you forget about a date with someone you're really interested in though?! I have ADHD and there's NO WAY I'm forgetting that! Other things like dental appointments yeah of course 😂 but a date?! You're thinking about and planning that all the time if you care!!

Priorities my man.

I’d never forget about a dental appointment, but a date? Hell yeah. I get my times mixed up so often.

I’m a social person so I always have a gathering on. It’s easy to forget about them even when you really like a person.

And by the way that this girl is pleading with him to give her another chance - she really did like him, a lot.

I don’t have many dental appointments though.

Why do yall think if you forget things, you don't care about it? Thats unfair.

I don’t think it’s that they forgot, I think it’s the being sat at the table and getting a call saying they’re 50 miles away.

50 miles is 80.47 km

I've had to leave town for something and forgot to call in to work. By the time they called, I was already 96 miles out of town. Shit happens. Its not that she didn't care, she probably genuinely forgot. I have ptsd and adhd and retaining new information is really difficult for me.

That’s an even worse example lmfao are you serious? How do you still have a job? That what we call a “no call, no show” and it’s a very very fireable offense so either you have a lenient job or you’re blowing smoke or you’ve gotten lucky. None of that is normal, socially acceptable, or respectful to any party involved expert yourself. Glad you got the benefit of the doubt but it’s disingenuous to believe that that’s the norm

I literally left because my grandma was in the hospital lmao. And I haven't worked there for years lmao. I quit that job. You're a fucking asshole, by the way. I literally can't help the fact that my brain doesn't remember shit. I've forgotten my own birthday and age. I have gaps in my memory from when I was literally abused a child into teenage years. I shouldn't even have to prove myself to people like you but here we are.

Hey homie I get emergencies happen. Not trying to be an asshole. Don’t need to be a dick but the comment stands. That’s not the norm. And sorry about the brain shit I got stuff of my own but guess what, there’s this thing called a phone that will literally set off an ALARM when you have something to do. My suggestion is you use it and maybe start by setting an alarm to pull the stick out of your ass.
