"To get stood up"

Today, I got stood up.

There was a meeting place, a time, and a motive. The connection had been established a week prior, and a confirmation the night before to verify this unusual happening.

I had that sinking feeling when seven minutes had passed, without a text or an errand boy to ensure me that an arrival was imminent.

So there I was, twenty minutes later, sitting in front of a chess set in the middle of the Caf, debating my fifth move. Alone.

I don't think I've ever been stood up before. Period.
I don't think I've ever been stood up before over a chess match.
I don't think anyone has ever been stood up over a chess match.

It was quite an awkward situation, one of which I am in anticipation of an immediate rectification.
