Green has a decent counter play against being snubbed first, but it surely is a dick move versus just saying “okay, cheers”.

However, we humans do crave drama, and I’ve been entertained, so I think in the grand scheme of things, as a miniature Shakespeare tragic comedy, I will allow for it to be cosmically more good than bad. Perhaps they both learned something. Or it’s all fake ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Having someone show their red flag this early warrants a “thank god” methinks. Also, “thank the flying spaghetti monster” is more like it.

  Red flag? “This is going to sound bad but I need to cancel, sorry” is way more than you’ll get dating, 90% of the time. IG they could’ve told them sooner, but I also don’t know how serious things are. It looks like a perfectly adult response.
  
  Regardless, saying “Thank God” when you were just confirming a date with someone feels like a knee-jerk reaction to save face and insult the person you feel ditched you.

    The proper and respectful way to cancel a date would be to say - for example - “look, I’ve thought this through and I am not feeling it, I changed my mind about further dates, I appreciate the time you spent with me & I wish you all the best!”
    
    The red flag here is mentioning someone “promising” and not wanting to miss the opportunity. It says in the same words “you are not a promising character”. The comparison is the hurtful thing you don’t say out loud if you want to be respectful of someone’s feelings.

    And the proper respectful thing would be to give the person you’re cancelling with more notice than an hour before hand, and only after they contacted you to confirm.

  I’d throw in a Hail Satan for good measure tbh

Not sure if I’d count what Green did as bad, in any way.

Petty, maybe, but justice demanded grey have some social consequences for their behaviour, and green most certainly delivered.
