Posted: 6/27/2008 10:46:16 PM | If your not going to go out with her. I had made plans with a guy last night to go out and he emailed me 15 minutes before he was suppose to call and said he had to reschdule because of a family emergency. then today he told me he would call at 530 to set up time and place and i have not heard a word from him. even though i know he was on line most of the night. If he had no intention of going why did he ask | |

Posted: 7/2/2008 1:37:13 PM | I dated a lady for a while that thought it was acceptable to cancel within a hour of the date because her kids wanted her to do something else. Not once but several times. When I told her that I blocked out that time for her and had passed up other invitations to do things, her response was that "her kids come first!" All you can do is move on.  | |

I didn't hear from him, so thinking something may be wrong, I called him. He sent a busy signal - never did hear another word from him. Have no idea what may have gone wrong - have asked - but he won't respond.

Posted: 7/7/2008 10:04:18 PM | | Here is a silly sounding but quite plausible reason. The guys that you are dealing with have dead end jobs and plan on having money in time for lunch, but something falls through causing their wallets to be empty. This definitely does not apply 100% of time, but after looking at a couple profiles, I've noticed the demographics tend to lean towards those that might not have steady work, thus scraping by may be a way of life...Just my guess :) | |

Posted: 7/14/2008 6:07:40 PM | Yeah, I have been there more times than I care to count! I dont understand either, why ask someone out if you arent going to go? It's not like I asked him out! He asked me! I dont get it!!!
Honestly though, as horrible as it sounds, I hope the same happens to them so they can see how it feels to get stood up! | |

Posted: 8/5/2008 8:17:18 AM | Probably juggling several women for back ups and got distracted. Take it that he did you a favor. My ex husband met me this way and never could give up the candy jar of contacts he could keep online!! People like that are not worth it.  | |

Posted: 8/5/2008 8:23:41 AM | I HAVE A GREAT IDEA GIRLS, WHY DON'T WE CREATE A STOOD UP CLUB FOR GIRLS NIGHT OUTS???? WE DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO SIT AROUND WAITING ON OUR PRINCE TO COME IN. DON'T GET ME WRONG I AM NOT CYNICAL, I HOPE THAT DAY COMES BUT I HAVE LEARNED THAT LIFE IS SHORT AND GOOD FRIENDSHIPS AND FUN GO ALONG WAY WHILE YOU WAIT FOR YOUR PRINCE TO COME, YA KNOW??
SO WHO IS INTERSTED? BY THE WAY I DON'T MEAN FOR THIS TO BE A SUPPORT GROUP FOR WHINING OR BASHING, JUST FOR FUN SO WE DONT SIT AT HOME DISSAPOINTED. | |

Posted: 8/6/2008 6:24:54 AM | | Why don't we make it interesting and make it a stood up /broken date club for men and women. I went out alone to meet friends in Huntsville last weekend after my date made lame excuses for not going. I had a blast and was very glad that I did not have that date when I got there. It gave me the freedom to do as I wanted without her having me to sit on pins and needles always bashing me if I looked at another woman or got a hug from an old friend as she had been doing. Needless to say... I'm free now and don't have to worry about her breaking another date or ruining another weekend for me. Several of us have had a blast on Smith Lake this summer... so, that's a possibility since it's convenient for me. | |

Posted: 8/6/2008 10:18:47 AM | Well believe it or not on the 7th chance he showed up and he was a total ass. I was hurt to begin with but now I am thankful. Because I have met someone very special and I wouldnt have if he had not had acted like he did.
I do still sit at home alone on Saturday nights. We do need a club like that here in Alabama. Coffecup your not very far from me. We could all meet halfway. Bham. | |

Posted: 8/9/2008 1:08:01 PM | So I did have a good idea!!!! I thought there must be others out there that would like to get together as a group if they don't have a date. Yeah, glad for the interest.
I AM IN BIRMINGHAM AND TAJUAN65 IN MONTGOMERY, WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF YOU? WHERE ARE YOU ALL FROM? | |

Posted: 8/29/2008 2:39:39 PM | if you post it, they will come.
sorry, couldnt resist ! i sure hope all of you DO get together somewhere and make it a great night out , every time you meet.
ive checked other sites for various states, quite a few have gatherings for all sorts of things.....motorcycle riders just meeting up to ride ANYwhere, dog walkers meeting to have a reason to walk their dogs and meet other dog lovers, etc. why not a have a 'singles nite out'? so many in the same boat here, so few with dates seems like the perfect way to perhaps HOOK one.
and OP, re-evaluate your self esteem. you gave a total moron 5 more chances than he deserved...you deserve BETTER! respect however, is earned by others to the standard you set for yourself. the 2nd time (being generous here, if in fact the first excuse seemed honest at the time) would have been the last chance in my book.
lots of luck with your new found sweetie though! hope its a keeper. | |

Posted: 9/21/2008 8:16:36 AM | | I think a club like that is a good idea. I have been stood up several time lately and would like a night out just to have fun. | |

Posted: 9/23/2008 5:31:30 AM | I would love that also....how close are yall to Mobile? All my girl friends just want to sit at home and hope their prince will come, I like going out and enjoying life. So I go alone to listen to bands are just go to the movies. It would be nice if we had something here in Mobile like they used to a long time ago...a social club for singles, where no one felt threaten and just went to have a good time. No one felt they had to be anything but just friends meeting for a good time.
Anyone in Mobile want to start another one? | |

Posted: 10/5/2008 9:19:42 AM | | I should have gotten more active in this stood up club... been home alone for the past 3 weeks! Not even a date. I got an email Friday night canceling the date for today! WHY? Because she says I like to party and I drink alcohol... oh well, it's a rare occurrence but come to find out it was other things bothering her and not me. Whichever, hate that it happened but it threw up huge red flags and despite that she called this morning and invited me to come to her house today I decided to just stay home and get things done here. Better to leave it that way. Maybe next weekend we'll have our stood up club meeting! Anyone got an idea for a good place? | |
