Ditched during the date

some people simply don't have manners. i think that most people have or will experience someone who's a no show or who ditches during the date. failure to be honest and show respect towards another person by doing either implies a complete lack of backbone. i'd be thankful that you didn't have to waste your time getting to know someone who had such a lack of character.

sounds like she didn't feel sparks and you were not what she expected in real life...just move on and see what happens with the next lady...i have met guys and found an excuse to bail early cause i didn't feel the same they did...and usually lose touch with them shortly after the meeting cause its weird to talk to them after realizing there not what i was expecting in the meeting....though i don't consider a first meet a date...no matter how good the conversations are before it...i need to start as friends before it can lead to dating..

Maybe one reason there was no spark was during your three weeks of communicating she created this image of you in her mind. She also created in her mind how the first meeting was going to go. When she finally met you it probably did not match what her image was of you. At that point she decided to move on. Simply stated, her expectations of you where to high in her mind. At least you know so you can move on.


I agree. Some people can create a fantasy image of another person based on their pictures, profile, email/phone conversations etc. When the real image is different than the fantasy image, they quickly lose interest. Unless the other person was completely rude, dishonest about something etc, I would finish the date. Then state that I'm not interested.

I also think her meeting her friends was a prearranged backup plan in case she wasn't interested in you.

She saw her husband, and got scared. Knew she was going to get caught. -_- who is she by the way? So i can make a point to avoid her. I hate wasting precious energy and time on someone who doesn't deserve it.

The thing is, in your journey to meet the right person you will likely meet many wrong people and some will be very wrong. If you generally are decent person, of good character, and treat others with respect, and s/he can't return the consideration, it is (her) problem and do not take it as a reflection of you. At least you have a story to tell about the day you went fishing and hooked weird one...

Do you look like your pictures? Are they recent ones? Did you wear brown socks with black pants? Plaids with stripes?
Yes, Yes, Whats wrong with that? Is that bad?

I work in a hospital, My mother (bless her soul) makes my scrubs as there are only two rules NO demin, and NO camo. I FREELY admit that I have the CRAZIEST combos you've EVER seen. Co-workers (female) give me grief all the time about not matching, to which I reply: "you hold me accountable to a standard that I do not adhere to: COLOR! I match by THEME" LOL I am the ONLY one brave (stupid) enough to wear patterned pants AND tops! My patients LOVE it, look forward to seeing what I'll wear next, and makes them forget about their aches and pains (if even for a few minutes) I'll wear even more strange combos! I don't care WHAT my co-workers think. (maybe that why I can't get a date?!) LOL

Hang in there brother...The connection/sparks must not have been mutual.

One thing to consider is that some girls want you to move faster than that...maybe she was one of them.
