| | Show up or not ?Page 3 of 3 (1, 2, 3) | I was one who would have said to go anyway unless it was a matter of long distance.
I've always found it a good idea to both give-and get-an alternate contact method-a regular email addy, a cell-phone #, an Instant Messenger ID... I can understand how a woman might be reluctant to give out her home telephone number to a photo and profile on an internet dating site, but there are other means of communication. And for Pete's sake, write that information down somewhere, in case of technical glitches with the dating site.
But this thread is a good illustration of how sometimes a simple miscommunication or misunderstanding can tank a dating prospect.

If I am arranging to meet someone, I ask for their mobile number then I text them straight away to confirm it. They then have my number in their phone and we can converse before the date, and if I didn't hear from them I would text them to check if it was still on or not.
I also wouldn't delete my account until I was happy that things were working out. I suppose she should be forgiven if she genuinely thought she had given you her number, but she still could have let you know about stopping her account. | |

No, actually. The winners are those who refrained from saying that you should set up a separate DATE instead. :)
It wasn't a prediction on whether she'd reach you or not. Not going would be if she didn't text or call you, and she wasn't yet so far, so no, you shouldn't have expected to go if after 2 days she deleted her account she didn't contact you. It looked bleak, and your question was under the assumption that she wouldn't reach you, and whether you should go or not when she never does leading up to the date. But she did.
You didn't ask "Should I set up another DATE, should I just make tentative plans with some friends, or should I show up to the place if she never reaches me?" | |

Posted: 7/7/2012 11:28:33 PM | You have a date.
So show up.
Don't expect to see her though, and don't be surprised or disappointed when she doesn't show, and there's definitely no need to stick around once you've had your coffee and donut. Mmmmm... donuts. You might even meet a nice girl to talk to while you're waiting.
Oh, and next time i guess it's a good idea to get her phone number too...
Good luck! | |
