Why arrange to meet if you have no intention on actually going through with it?
Posted: 6/13/2009 12:11:56 PM
Just wondering as i experienced this last night, why would a bloke arrange to meet me if he had no real intention of actually meeting me? I have been speaking to him for a short while and have seen him twice in passing but not on an actual date. He seemed very interested, kept ringing and textin me, but last night just didnt turn up for our date? I tried ringing him and texted him, but heared nothing.What was the point in all this, anyone have any ideas?

Sometimes people change their minds at the last second.
Is it nice?
No. Happened to me before also.
Don't let it ruin your day. There are plenty more out there.

In my experience.... men like the chase and once the chase is no longer a challenge they move on to something more interesting and challenging to chase .... forget about him and move on to the next one.
Good Luck Fishing!!

He is most likely just a player. For creatures of habit its really about the thrill & addiction of the imaginative, as long as reality dosnt come into it. And, who they hurt/time waste along their way wont even register, even a flicker with this ilk.

There give away signals is sporadic but sudden full on contact and telling you, disproportionately (fek me wicked thats a big word even for you) in relationship to you them, how hot sexy special you are and constantly manoeuvring the convo to a sex based or innuendo one quickly whilst telling you you may be the one.

This lot are often attached/married have a plethora of options ...so in my opinion no second chances.
And the vanishing act types reinforces what I said. However, in all likelihood this lot, as there creatures of habit, reappear with some form of incredible excuse sooner or later.

He got scared or cold feet, too shy to go through with it....there are a number of reasons that do not mean he is a jerk. However, he should have texted saying so.

That was my very first thought.

Was thinkin' about it....got the boost that someone else would be interested...but his conscience kicked in and couldn't go through with it.

Either that...or he couldn't sneek out when it was time for the date.

Unless he was lying somewhere bleeding to death, he should have let you know he wasn't going to meet. Of course, his wife could have thrown a monkey wrench into the whole thing.

He's a jerk. Move on.

For some "blokes" it is called game playing. Somehow they get off on the fact that they have asked you to meet them, you show up and they don't. It happened quite a bit when I started dating a few years ago. I guess Im either getting luckier or I am choicing who I am going to meet better. Let the "bloke" (I really luv this word) go. He isn't worth your time.

There is no way for sure of ever knowing the real reasons he did what he did, even if he told you one reason there might be one behind it.

Forget about him. If he never let you know anything its a testament to the type of person he is.... "An Azzhole".

msg1.

To answer the question.

No idea, other than a sudden and complete case of fast acting Stupid-u-enza. Cronic sufferers behave quite unpredictably stupid. It strikes without warning. Theres no cure. Isolation from Stupid-u-enza, doesn't help either as it's a global human condition. (blows nose, sniff, snuffle) Oh dear, this is bad.;)

There is no sense to be found, when your senses tell you none is present.

Move on!

Good luck.

There have been many threads about this topic. I will repeat what I mentioned in other threads. There could be many different reasons for it.

1. They are flakes.
2. They are married or have a significant other.
3. Not ready for a relationship.
4. Went out with another person that they liked better.

I find that many men do that. I have no idea how it is in the US, but the stand up rate here is rather high.

Don't worry about his, he was not worth it.

Hi snoops,

It could be a number of things. It may be for the same reason married or guys who are already in relationships try to get a girl's number at a club - they just want to see if a girl digs them. Or it may be a mind game, it could also possibly be them lying about who they are and not wanting to be figured out. There is always a slight chance they get scared and back out but either way it is rude, and inconsiderate and you should pursue someone who actually shows up, makes effort and puts time into you and values you.

there are alot of men doing that these days, i think its rude and obnoxious. Personally I'd look for a better man.Once a looser, always a looser. Find a guy thats deserving of your love and gives it back.

warm smiles,

I have had a few females do this to me as well. They enjoy the "GAME" of it all!!!

And, if you do get a reply, or explanation about it, which is EXTREMELY RARE, they say to you that they don't owe you an EXPLANATION OR ANYTHING!!!

They are so sweet, aren't they???
