hey.....it only gets worse....I dated this guy for a month...all was well...He had me over for dinner..snuggled on the couch...even tucked the blanket around me, then later kissed me good night..said" talk to you tomorrow" and that was the end of it....he didnt call me again or return my calls or email...

NEXT!!!!

But all these experience will just help make the book I am writing all so much more interesting...hehe.

What can I chalk it up to??? Cowardness? Mental Illness? Maybe something else???? Keeps me on my toes I guess. I should have called and left a message on his machine saying" You are NOT breaking up with ME!!! I am breaking up with YOU!!

They are a confused person who does not know what they want and does not have the guts to admit it.I know a person like that on here..but that's what I get for trying to deal with a divorced 25 year old man

I’m not sure what the process was that you went through, but it stands to reason that a good dialog and patience is a good method. I wonder sometimes how good people are at judging character, remember you’re looking for someone that is compatible not necessarily the most available or convenient. Try to establish points that reveal their ideologies and principles.

I have to agree with this. I first used one of these online dating or whatever you'd like to call it about 3 yrs ago. I was really scared, I wouldn't post a picture, I was very careful. I didn't tell anyone I had joined. I chatted with this guy for about 2 months. We finally exchanged cell phone numbers talked for about 3 months on the cell phones.LMAO To make a long story short we finally met. He was one of my neighbors, our kids were playing together everyday. Both of us would be at the playground with our kids after work and chatting together all night long. Neither of us put it together until our meeting. We dated and are still in daily contact just on different coasts. Hoping he'll be visiting some day.
So if nothing else you can make some great friendships and that is worth alot!

Do not meet anyone at your house ever.Always meet at a puplic place. I`ve been seeing people for month and they still don`t know where i live,they don`t have to know unless they are important enough to meet my kids.

All in all, I think it's downright rude for people to do that. I've said this before on some other thread...people don't have enough time in their days...don't mess with anyone's time. If you change your mind about meeting, that's fine...all it takes is a phone call.

There's a reason why some people are single. This person's reason was probably that they were a jerk. Consider yourself lucky to have figured this out quickly and before they hit you up for money.

Interesting. I see people talking about it happening all the time. Frankly it happened to me once and that wasn't online. The girl who did it apologized about a half hr later for it.

My problem on here seems to be having women who are brave enough to even meet.

Come on up to MT Jamie, I'll take you out and I am sure there would be a big line of other guys wanting to as well.

ROFL. I bet you don't have to wonder whether or not a guy will e-mail you back if you contact him first texgirllaura. Least they are probably honest enough to respond to your initial e-mail. That is if you even send them. Probably, like most women on here, don't need to do that though.

Sorry to hear that happened to you. That is very rude...even if plans changed he should have contacted you...move on.

Sounds like a problem, having to pick from two possible dates. I suppose it all depends on how you did your picking and how you told the other guy that you chose somebody else.

I will never understand it!people can be REALLY crummy!! thats all it boils down to. There was one tiime where I almost did a drive by date...I knnew it was him and he was so unlike his picture that i allmost didnt go over to him to say hi...I did go to him and shared a quick coffee, and just said thanks for the coffee and it was nice to meet, and best of luck in your search....if some of the people that i have met that were not attracted to me had said that it would be so much easier and less painnful on the ego side of things. ...but it takes a pretty decent person to do that...and just remember that the next time someone does the drive by date or stands you up completely. ....they are not decent people. The internet provides people with a mask...and when they are finally asked to take off their mask......sometimes it can be pretty ugly...and Im not ttalking about their physical appearance.

Thank you ma'am; mama always said, ugly is as ugly does; it was his loss, and I don't think I will take door #2 either; if I didn't pick him first, chances are there's a reason for that...

Yay, I got my jacket back!!! So I'm glad I had given him my cell phone number. He didnt know my last name or where I lived, but he sent it by bus, and just had them phone my cell to let me know it was there!! No love notes! No excuse for standing me up on our "second date" but its done, I am relieved, and a lesson learned!

Cheers

Aren't we adults.


If only that were true. I had the same sort of thing happen once. Like I always say "We don't really exist" All people have to do is turn off the computer and we all disappear... That’s the unfortunate truth about online "dating" it can sometimes be more like online "chatting". Just move on and don’t let it bother you.

It's definately his loss. And this is the first time you've ever been stood up? That's something most of us can't say. You're doing very well.
