A Bad Birthday for Brittany

Brittany stayed in last weekend over her birthday, waiting for a male friend of hers to take her out. This guy, let's call him Mark, has been a true jerk to Brittany since she arrived in August. They had known each other for over a year via MySpace before she moved, coincidentally, to the same town he had his medical residency in. Although they speak on the phone more than ten hours a week, in six months they have yet to meet in person. But this is not Brittany's fault. Mark cancels, regularly, at the last minute. And every time he presents a plausible tale.

Well he promised to take her out to dinner on her birthday, a Friday, since he was supposed to get off work (more in a second on that) at 7 pm. At midnight he still had not left, so he promised to make it up to her on Saturday, when he was supposed to get off at 9 pm. At 10:30 he still hadn't off, and he never called, texted, or emailed to cancel entirely.

So Mark, though he is only a week older than Brittany, said he graduated college in 1 year and medical school in three so that he is currently a first year medical resident. Brittany has said she has spoken to nurses on nights he was on call and has received emails from a work email account, but I can find no list of residents with the hospital to check, and he doesn't have a medical license yet.

Anyway, here's his MySpace account: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=68831614

Any advice on how to find out the truth about him and why he has treated Brittany so shamefully?

He also appears to have two birthdays a year and enjoy stinging several gals along. Cheerful guy.
