I'm just curious as to how many people have stood someone up, and also how many people have been stood up. Not just with internet dating, but that is the main part of the question.
I"m been lucky to have dated mostly nice people and never got stood up; I have never stood anyone up; anyone that does is what the internet has created: people that dont' take care of their business and who are spineless wimps.
How bad a person must feel if they were stood up. | |

I totally accidentally stood someone up once though. The meeting place was a popular pub chain in the city. I was new in town and there happened to be two of those pubs on the same street within 2mins driving time of each other. I did not know this though so I went to the first one I came across on my route. It happened to be the wrong though, she was waiting at the other one all along. Oops. | |

Posted: 4/13/2009 8:07:36 AM | I've been stood up twice. I was pretty certain both times that they weren't going to show. The first time, I was fine with that - I'd changed my mind about him before the date so it was kind of a relief when he didn't show. He said he'd gotten busy at work and "forgotten". Wanted to make another date. I said no.
The second time, I took a book with me and told the server (who knew me somewhat) that I figured I was being stood up. I was disappointed when I was right, I'd hoped otherwise. Found him online later, he gave me some BS story about being held up at work till 11 pm, forgot my number at home, he was so sorry, yada yada, made an extravagant offer for dinner/show the following week. I said sure, then suggested he call me. He hemmed & hawed, then said sure, just give me a few minutes ... 45 minutes later, no call, I sent him an email letting him know my thoughts about married men who play online.
I've cancelled dates, but never stood anyone up. | |

Posted: 4/13/2009 8:43:25 AM | Been stood up once, for the only date I've managed to get on here in over a year.
I couldn't do it to someone else, it's a horrible feeling. Made worse by some people I knew walking by seeing me sitting alone at the table. | |

Posted: 4/13/2009 12:36:09 PM | I have only been stood up once and it was by a member of this site. I have never stood anyone up. So I guess I have a pretty good track record on both sides of the coin.
 ...JMO | |

Posted: 4/13/2009 12:51:46 PM | I have been stood up once and it was a bit fishy (lol)
i was 5minutes late because of traffic. this was a second meeting. I waited for 20 minutes to make sure. and when i returned home his email said us getting together shouldnt be so difficult that must be a sign it wasnt ment to be and that he really valued other peoples time so the fact I was late was a personal offense to him.....
he had been late for our first meeting by 20 minutes, the only reason i was still there was because i was very comfortable sitting with my tea and a good book and didnt notice the time until he got there. | |

Posted: 4/20/2009 6:56:15 AM | YES! I was suppose to meet this guy from POF, and we talked about the meeting for a week, and I asked him where it was was just so I knew where he was going, and he did. I waited 3 hours in a coffee shop by myself, and he never came. It really broke my heart more than anything though, how can you do that to someone?? I mean to a human being? So I was pissed and wrote him back, but in the end I told him I forgave him, and I was sorry that it was his loss, because he didn't give me a chance. But that answers the "Was he mister right? so its all good | |

Posted: 4/20/2009 2:36:40 PM | I would just like to know why people say they're going to call but they don't. Yes it has happened to me by two I thought were really nice guy on the phone. Why do they say they're going to call and then don't. They're to tired or two busy or feel asleep. Don't be on here if you can't do what you say you are going to do. I am sure a lot of people do this but I am not one that ever would. I will tell the person. It may be hard to do, but just do it. You don't want to call me then just say I am not that into you. I'm sorry but thats better then not keeping your world.  | |

Posted: 4/20/2009 7:37:03 PM | I have a very simple, and effective way, to avoid being stood up...
Whenever Im interested in a girl, and we plan to meet up, I always ask them on a scale from 1-10 what are they chances they will flake? if they say anything besides "oh I wouldn't do that", I just tell them straight up, k dont waste my time, I dont associate myself with flaky people, and thats that.. | |

Posted: 4/21/2009 10:11:46 AM | I've never done this to someone (never stood anyone up)
I was stood up last year...he was a very spoiled guy (in my hindsight)...I discontinued seeing him...I believe in the old saying "what goes around comes around" in various ways | |
