she told me her ex came over with her kid threatening to take her kid from her and apparently hit her and took her mobile.
She didn't live in west London did she? | |

Posted: 7/7/2008 12:56:34 PM | how can we possibly know if it's a lie or not - we have no idea who the person is or about her character.
i would give her the benefit of the doubt if I were you - some guys (and women) do things like that when they see that their ex's are getting on with their lives - if they can stick a spoke in the wheel they will do. | |

Posted: 7/7/2008 1:06:22 PM | hahaha well since my ex left me and i had my whole depression crap etc, i honestly dont care too much for my own life unless it'll effect my daughters which i know it will to some extent, but if i didn't have a daughter i wouln't care in the slightest about the ex and i still dont care about the ex to be honest, can come at me with a machette if he wants, wont bother me what so ever.
yes she's from the west side just like me.
But yeah, whether what she has said is true or not, 'll probably give her one more chance. But obviously i'm gonna have my cautions this time and be prepared to be let down hahaha | |

Posted: 7/7/2008 1:16:42 PM | how about this for an excuse...
once dated a guy who was mad about narrow boats - had a few nice days out along the canals looking at boats to buy - summer lunches in the pub gardens, all very pleasant if a little dull at times. Anyway - I called him one night to say that I had the house to myself unexpectedly as daughter had gone away and asked if he'd like to come over for the evening..........his excuse was........
there was a programme on tv about the history of narrow boats that he was dying to watch
I dumped him the next day saying that I needed someone a little more spontaneous........he said he loved spontaneity - but only if he knew when to expect it | |

Posted: 7/7/2008 10:49:04 PM | My favourite excuse comes from a bloke (and well known forumite) I have chatted to for best part of two years...
He keeps telling me I am lovely - and cute??? (God he is so deluded)...we get on great, make each other laugh....BUT - He does not want a long term thing, and I am far to good and special for a jolly bunk up! | |

Admittedly this was in the time before internet dating/shopping had come along to make life easier. :-) | |

Posted: 7/9/2008 1:57:23 PM | I've beeen given all sorts of excuses/reasons for people not showing up!! Some more far fetched than others!! about 80% of the time it is a lie! but the odd 20% have turned out to be true depsite sounding so unlikely!!!
I usually give someone one more chance and if the same thing happens then it's their loss!!  | |

That's as good as one i heard years ago, i got arrested and stayed locked up from the friday till the monday!
one i had two years ago (not from here). From a single?? man who had custody of his teenage daughter.
"I was getting the washing from the bedrooms after changing the beds(sounds very domesticated huh?) as i walked down the stairs, caught my foot in a sheet, and woke up at the bottom of the stairs. Stayed in hospital all weekend"
That was the text i got on the monday.
Truth? i was doubtful, purely gut instinct.
He was married. how do i know this?
well, being the cynical old bag that i am, and having been married to a serial philanderer. I rang the hospital he said he'd been taken to. They had never heard of him. i said nothing.
Next day........ my phone rang. it was his wife.
apparently he had gone to the pub on the friday, left his phone at home his wife went through it and found my number. they had argued all weekend, and he had promised never to do itagain (yeah right).
always ALWAYS trust gut instinct.
Some men got very upset when i was "looking" for a partner, that i would have nothing to do with them if they were just seperated.
I made sure i was single before i started dating (yes i know others have different views).
but the last thing i wanted was more drama after what i had been through in my divorce.
I'll deal with my sh!t, you deal with yours. that is now my attitude.
and..... as my mother used to say
"believe half of what you see and none of what you hear" | |

Posted: 7/9/2008 11:25:37 PM | | Anyone who is really into you would turn up to meet you come hell or high water. Excuses are sometimes pretty inventive, often even quite amusing. | |

Posted: 7/10/2008 4:57:49 AM | Exactly so.
I think a book or two should be compiled about excuses, but I've got to count the bricks in the wall (again) so I haven't got the time.
Sorry. | |

"believe half of what you see and none of what you hear"
I agree. Believ what people do, not what they say. Buut don't let it get out of hand and become cynical :)
I use exusess only for choosing not to sleep with them
Why use an excuse? Just say I ain't shagging ya lol I've had that and I respect it.
I think ... I rarely arrange to meet someone in private. It sometimes gets talked about, but nothing is arranged. Maybe a lot of people just like the talking bit? Get their jollies in a vicarious sort of way?
If there was a firm meeting arranged though, I wouold expect to be informed if the person couldn't make it. There might be a valid reason for it, but only once. Otherwise you ain't committed to meeting and so there's no point.
In the very rare but genuine case where someone might fail to turn up more than once, I think the amount and quality of the communication with you to explain it would determine whether another one would take place.
Anyway, I only meet the first time for coffee/drinks/day out whatever so there's no pressure | |

Posted: 7/18/2008 11:57:31 AM | Every time I hear a man excusing himself I think to myself ... well, seems they are not as dumb as I think they are ... all in all, you need to use some of your grey matter and effort to invent an excuse ... even a crappy one and then make it sound honest ... the best part for me is however, making them think that I, of course, believe every word they say ... it is always so funny to see the look of relief on their faces ...  | |

I dislike the meaning of it ! | |

Is that akin to not liking the name of smörgåsbord but loving to endulge? | |
