Posted: 10/10/2005 11:19:03 PM | | It's easy to say not to take it personnal. But we are only human and ovet time, it really have a negative ans devastating effect. I've been there for many years now, and it's really starting to bother me. Dating used to be a good experience but it's now turning into something very painfull. I can compare it with a cocaine addiction where at first it's so good and in time, in destroy you as a person. | |

Posted: 10/11/2005 12:38:26 AM | Out of three years of dating and literally 150 + first dates I've been stood up twice.
One was PoF; the other was a different service.
I count myself lucky. | |

Also - someone that unreliable?? tells me they are otherwise entangled. Eg cheaters or yes married...
Ok sure something could have happened on the night. But you're right an email or phone call or something afterwards to explain the situation.
But to hear nothing at all afterwards...with this one? lots of conversations then chickens out at the last minute, Im tending towards thinking he has other commitments. Not saying Im definitely right. but it would be my first thought | |

Posted: 10/11/2005 5:15:13 AM | | yeah, I think you are right; I never tend to think that way, cause I just assume everyone else is as up front about stuff as me; well fool me once, right? | |

Posted: 10/16/2005 6:38:04 PM | Hey I really understand. I was talking with this guy on the phone and he was very anxious to meet me. We agreed to meet for a drink. He said he would call me back later and let me know the definites. I did what all we girls do before a date... wanna make a good impression... wash, do hair and makeup, shave legs....choose clothes...etc etc
Then the guy doesnt call me back... LOSER
But thats not all.. then he tries to hit on me again on POF figuring I would not remember... what a JERK. I dont take it personally, its just the way it is. people are weird and if they do that , clearly they are NOT THE RIGHT GUY 4 U , and thats great to get that right out of the way.... NEXT.... | |

Posted: 10/16/2005 7:22:15 PM | Now that I think about it...
the very first time I agreed to meet someone I met online, years ago, I got stood up. It was harder to post a picture back then... I figured maybe she was in the parking lot sizing me up when I arrived and decided against meeting (maybe I'd taken the 'Jesus-look' too far...)... never communicated with her again (except writing a note to say I'd gone to the spot but 'missed' her somehow).
It kind of bugged me...
Other than that I've never, ever been stood up... though sometimes I've wished I had been.

Some folks are best left behind their keypads in their imaginary worlds where they can be whomever they want to be. Stood up? Just walk away with head held high.... You'll either get an apology later ... or another date. There's a real person out there waiting to meet you.

Posted: 10/17/2005 11:32:28 AM | Hi Jamie,
I can understand what you are going through as I have just been stood up myself. I have been on the site for about 3 wks now and this was going to be my first meeting with someone. He stood me up the first time and then was all apologetic and so since I believe in second chances, we set another date and he stood me up again. I am in the same boat as you...no idea why someone would even bother setting up a date and then not showing up. I think that we as women should stick together and start up something where we can send out an email to everyone, for POF users that stand us up. It seems as if there are alot of people that are okay with this kind of thing but I don't think we should stand for it and should do something to give the message to these guys that if they want to play these games that they better move on to somewhere else cause we aren't putting up with it here. | |

Posted: 10/17/2005 12:04:37 PM | | Sorry,you may not want to hear this but the message sounds clear! meet me @ my house!!!!!!!! what are you thinking!do you read the newspaper or watch the news, This is the best thing that could have happened,not to mention it sure makes you sound easy. | |

Posted: 10/18/2005 8:22:07 PM | | Well I think you are pretty rude. To imply that I might be easy because I said to meet me at my house. Did you ever think that there might be circumstances that you don't know about. I don't have the time to put every little detail in the story, like the fact that I had just wrecked my car. If I had known that dim witted people like you would automatically assume the worst I would have said that to begin with. but unfortunately I assumed that people who replied to the thread would be kind. Maybe you assumed I was easy because of the way you behave. To all the others who posted supportive and kind replies I say Thank You. | |

Posted: 10/24/2005 2:30:48 AM | Talk about being stood up... my first few hours on here i meet a pretty decent guy(or so I thought) ... he gives me his number and tells me to give him a call I make plans to and low and behold his number is out of service... and then surprise surprise I can't message him ..he's blocked me... I mean to me that is childish... don't give out a fake number if you don't want the person to call... I mean I didn't ask for the number it was offered.. wtf.
it must be my breath or something oh wells live and learn and then you get luvs

I swear to you that I didn't give you the wrong number. I never blocked you. All you have to do is ask the girl that started this thread. We've talked. She knows my real number, and it's the one I gave you. She'll tell you I'm a nice guy! | |

Posted: 11/10/2005 3:02:27 AM | | Did you contact him to find out what happened? it could be perfectly reasonable, and have nothing to do with you at all. You know, the first time I was supposed to meet a man off this forumn, we had a family emergency and I had to go out of town - no time ot call, no time for anything..I felt like a heel, because I knew he would be waiting for me. Thankfully, he is a real sweetheart and forgave me. But I guess what I am saying, is make sure first what was behind it before getting angry. | |

Posted: 1/9/2006 11:26:52 AM | Cheer up and let me tell you why you should (maybe) consider yourself lucky as maybe fate (or some shit like that) has stepped in:
I was up all night last night (until the wee hours of this moorning) chatting with a girl who was stood up yesterday for a dinner date. He didn't call her, no msn message and no POF message....then I contacted her. Opppsss he has a g/f that he has been staying/living with and she had no idea.....poor thing I hated to break it to her because she was a really solid chick but sometimes things happen for a reason....now the last thing she is upset about is him standing her up.
Keep smiling! | |
