Posted: 9/20/2009 2:49:59 PM | That is exactly what I do for a first meet. Leave to go to the rest room after we have been talking about 20 minutes and I have finished a glass of merlot.
And clearly tell my date.....this is her opportunity to call her friends....the police....the manager... even leave.... Or she may order me another glass of merlot! When I return, from the rest room if she is there and my glass refilled....awesome. If she is gone...awesome. (I imagine it would hurt for a few seconds...but I'll get over it)
Everyone need a window to escape without pressure...... it seems he could not handle the pressure. Count your blessings! | |

Not a nice experience for him to leave you unattended in the restauant even though he was gracious to pay the bill but I would have posted his name on pof with a watch out girls in quotes. or better still you could have posted his pic as well. lol
Good thing you a strong woman to share yor experience.

Posted: 10/18/2009 8:30:35 AM | | I had a date when I was 19, my date hit it off with the waiter really well. She already kind of knew him. To end the date, she asked if it was okay if she stayed there at the restaurant, because he's getting off work in 30 minutes. I left. | |

Posted: 10/19/2009 1:11:17 AM | I’ve never had this happen to me, and certainly would never do it to anyone, no matter how bad the evening was going.
This includes the ‘few extra pounds’ gal that quite literally could not fit in my little sports car; I had to go home (it was close) and get my truck. Took her to dinner as planned, and we remained acquaintances for a few years.
Or the kid who lived with her parents (she was 22-23, there abouts) who suffered from mild Turret’s Syndrome, complete with spontaneous twitching and utterances. I could overhear people in the movie we attended (“Dumb and Dummerer”… how appropriate) sympathizing with my situation.
She told me how ‘lucky’ I was to have such ‘eye candy’ on my arm. I don’t know if she realized where we were when she made that statement. It was in front of Lens Crafters. Asked her if she needed to pop in for a quick visit…
And who could forget the nursing student who met me at Cracker Barrel for dinner, spending the entire ‘date’ coloring (yup, coloring…with Crayolas!) an anatomy book, talking about how much she hated men, and how her ex-husband committed suicide just a month earlier. Lucky **stard…
You can’t make this stuff up, folks. Bottom line: I completed ALL these dates and other bad dates I've been on, never even considered walking out.
And, to their credit, neither have any of my dates, both good and bad (from my perspective; I'm sure they were all bad from their perspective!). | |

Posted: 10/19/2009 5:37:52 AM | | Sorry this happened to you!Not a very mature thing to do... I`m surprised he didn`t walk out with you and walk you to your car and than shake your hand "goodbye and Thank You" like most of us do when the date is over and there is no connection.How long did the date actually last? It must have been tedious for the two of you... | |

Posted: 10/19/2009 5:44:45 AM | I think some people want to meet new people but really hate the conversation they have to have once they decide it's not a match, so they vanish instead.
What can ya do? You will meet all kinds of people online...at least he picked up the tab, he must have known it was the least he could do for chickening out. | |

Posted: 10/19/2009 8:58:07 PM | | Women get up to go to the bathroom and disappear on a guy, so I hear, so it must go both ways. Frankly, upon more than one ocassion I have felt like pulling the old disappearing act but I soldiered on, being too much of a gentleman I suppose. | |

The chicks who hate guys, but date them, that's a walking dichotomy. Luckily I haven't had a bad POF experience. I even landed a testimonial, so yea, it's cool. As for the man hating chicks you can sit them straight real quick by saying, "Then why are we here?" Normally women who really hate men, want nothing to do with them. The others are just full of it. | |

Posted: 10/20/2009 7:52:43 AM | Jeez guys...to the ones that said "at least he paid the tab"....As a single working female I'd have rather paid the tab for myself (no obligations on either's part) and say to one another "Thanks" for the evening out....I'm sure we're all well aware that not every date is going to work out (and hey if the picture wasn't up-to-date big deal...get this...one guy I met had another person's picture up there and yeah I was disappointed but didn't say anything).
To sum up it was really immature...and you other guys should flog him.
G'day Y'all | |

Posted: 10/20/2009 8:10:22 AM | To the gentleman who says his mother taught him to make sure his date got home...Good for you/mom and your dates...I have two daughters....neither of them drive a car(yet) but if they were ever out for a date (no matter what age they were) I would like to know that they got home safely...having said THAT: if the guy turned out to be a stalker-type(or have scary tattoes etc) ....well there are always taxis or a relative that is phone call away....Then yeap it's ok for the women to make an exit if she is legitimately concerned for her safety.
Nice to know that guys are still taught to care in this day and age.

I was at the point in our date, I felt pretty good... I went to the bathroom and he was gone........WHOA OMG, I was waiting so long the waitress had to tell me, everything was paid for but he left.....Wow, thanks for the great connection. How could you really do that to any individual...
Why are you asking any of us? He's the only one who could shed light on it.
Rather than contact him, you thought you'd start a thread in hopes you'd get enough people to disparage him that it would mitigate your hurt feelings?
How long were you powdering your nose?
What would be really funny is if you took so long that the guy got up and left, thinking that you might have taken a back door out and was wondering why YOU had bolted.  | |

Posted: 10/20/2009 2:24:16 PM | OMG this happened to me a few weeks ago.
Anyway i got hooked up through a friend of a friend and this woman decided to meet me at this club. I know this was not the best place to meet someone but i thought what the hell. So once i get to this club i find her down on the dance floor, we chatted for a bit then i sat down whilst her and her mate had a dance. They both left together a few minutes later and left me there on my own! Got a text a few hours later saying 'not interested'. Ok so i got the point that she was not interested in me but there are better ways about going about it in a more respectful way. | |
