Too Sensitive?

What ever happened to the old rule of: if you can't make an appointment/date/dinner/meeting/class that it is always the polite thing to do to call (e-mail), whatever to let said person know that you will not be able to come.
I try to at least call an hour before I cancel plans because I know if its someone like one of my friends they're probably getting ready, you know, putting on make up, taking a shower, getting something to wear together. And why should they go through the whole ordeal of putting on make up, or bras, or whatever if I'm not going to show up and they have to take another shower or wash their face or get back into their comfy clothes?
When it comes to classes, I always try to e-mail my professors to let them know, hey, you're going to be a body short. It helps with attendance (if they keep up with it) and sometimes they'll even be nice enough to tell you what the assignment is for that particular day.
But when you make a date to meet someone, and you don't talk to them the entire day of the date, or at least call or e-mail to check and make sure everything is still on, its rude to cancel.
Case in point: I was supposed to meet someone yesterday. I rushed back from my class to get to the room, jumped into the shower, nearly broke my neck because I slipped in the shower, rushed to dry my hair. I called, txted, and e-mailed the guy to see what time he was coming. And do I get a response? No. So what happens? My feelings get hurt.
I know its foolish to have your feelings get hurt by a guy that I haven't even met... but it hurt. He talked about how much he wanted to meet me, we had a good time talking, he sounded intrested in me, and his txts and IMs deffinantly showed some form of intrest... but when it came to meet, nada.
This is not the first time either. Its actually the 3rd. The first time he 'slept through' it, the second he 'had to work at his aunt's barbeque pit', and this last time.. nothing.
It might not have hurt as bad if he had given me some sort of.... excuse (or flat out told me he was not intrested in meeting me).
I'd rather know why my feelings are being hurt than just feel hurt for an unknown reason.
I hate to say I expected it, but with my luck in guys.... I did expect this not to end well, even though it seemed it might have had a chance.
Until next time
