| Being stood up...or standing someone up
Posted: 8/2/2005 4:51:40 PM | | I'm just curious as to how many people have stood someone up, and also how many people have been stood up. Not just with internet dating, but that is the main part of the question. | |

Posted: 8/2/2005 5:01:30 PM | | Ive stood a woman up... it was telephone dating a few years ago. I was told by the woman that she would be wearing a blue sweater and denim skirt and that she was 5'7 and weighed 130 pounds. Any way She was late at the meeting place and then i noticed this rather large woman of about 250+ wearing a blue sweater and denim skirt coming towards me. I looked at my watch and took off, her not knowing I had seen her coming. Any way we had been chatting for over a month and had decided to meet, the problem came when she had lied to me from the start about her size. Anyway she thought i had left cause she was late.... | |

Posted: 8/2/2005 5:41:45 PM | ^^^ that isnt really standing any-one up because you did show.
I dont blame you for bailing thats BS. I might have stuck around and told her she lied then left, or done what you did lol dunno. I definately would not have hung around for a date.
OT; I have never stood any-one up or had any-one stand me up. Lucky in that respect I suppose. Whats the point in agreeing to meet, setting it all up then not show? Kinda dumb.
I guess if some-thing comes up at the last minnute and you cant make it, thats cool.
(as long as it is legit)

Posted: 8/2/2005 5:52:35 PM | | I get stood up all the time....on POF am averaging 50% of first meets are no shows. From other sites, not so bad...but still enough that I am pretty much done with internet "dating" forever. | |

| Being stood up...or standing someone up
Posted: 8/2/2005 6:04:38 PM | Well at least 50% showed up.
Yea I got stood up three times after I already met this person and saw her three days in a row. Then she still had the guts to tell me how sorry she was and if we could go out again. NOT! | |

Posted: 8/2/2005 6:06:58 PM | | I've been stood up 2 times by the same guy off this site. First time we tried to meet he misheard me when I said what time to meet and he just didn't show up. Second time we decided to meet, I went and got a coffee, sat there for an hour,and left because he didn't show up. Never got an explanation either. All my other dates have showed up. Nothing worked out though. | |

Posted: 8/2/2005 6:07:35 PM | | i have an interesting story on this subject and maybe someone could share some light on it. a few months ago a girl i kinda grew up with happend to move close by. i havent seen her in over ten years. my mom and her mom were best friends. so mom comes to me and asks if i would mind going over and helping her get moved in so i did. i gave her a call a couple weeks later to see how things were going got a machine she called back we had a nice convo about how life has treated us blah blah blah. after about 3 convos she randomly calls and invites me over to dinner the next day a tuesday. i agreed, that day rolls around she calls and wanted to push it to the next monday for reason that she would be limited on time that night b/c of work and she had mon and tuesday off. so in my mind im like this is cool she wants to have unlimited time to hang with me. at first i was up for reopening a childhood friendship and through gossip heard this girl found me attractive and was interested in a possible dating relationship. a time was never given. that friday rolled around and i call asking what time she would like me over monday, i called again sunday and again monday morning/afternoon. i havent heard from her since. whats strange to me is to go through the trouble of calling and inviting someone over and never calling them back. i wasnt like heart broken but was very confused. ok so theres my only stand up since i was like 8 years old lol. and if any ladies out there see some logic behind the actions pls express your opinion now that im reminded of this im still quite curious what couldve happend. | |

Posted: 8/2/2005 6:38:56 PM | | i have never been stood up or stood anyone up. but if i didn't think the attraction was there i would tell them when i fist meet them and not run out on them... just be honest from the start . and im a big girl and i would never lie to someone telling them im something im not . I would tell them the truth from the start and if they didnt like me tha t way then i could careless because i look at it like this .. there are plenty of fish in the sea and if they only want me for my looks and not what comes from my heart or inside and get to know me for e then i would't want them anyway..... coming from a fat girl lol | |

Posted: 8/2/2005 6:56:23 PM | ^^^^ well thats great. It is different if you know the situation before you go then being lied to. I would bail right away for pretty much any lie though, not just an appearence one.
Just not interested in starting any-thing with any-one who cant be honest. and if they are lieing to you right off the bat, what kind of personality do they really have?
To many fish in the sea to worry about dealing with that crap.
I don't doubt there are good men out there somewhere. They just aren't interested in me.
Humbug. Keep plugging.

Posted: 8/2/2005 7:34:04 PM | Ive been stood up once, i waited 45 min, then he writes and tells me he did show up but conviently about 10 after i had left. this guy was a big offender with breaking plans. i should have known. we did meet once and it went great. i even invited him to go out with me on my birthday(which is thursday!) but guess what?? today he tells me he cant go. typical!!!
lol bitter party of one!! | |

Posted: 8/2/2005 8:19:11 PM | Oh my gosh! I've been stood up more times than I can count...But never with the same person twice (once bitten, twice shy)!
However, I've never stood anyone up. Even if it's a blind date. I guess I hold myself to a different standard than those that don't bother to show up or call. | |

Posted: 1/2/2009 2:55:22 PM | I've been stood up 73 times from 73 different men on this site.
It does not even phase me anymore when the guy doesn't even show up, I have learned to expect it. I think you get use to it after awhile and don't really care anymore. It is a reflection of the person doing the standing up not me. Most people online are too paranoid to meet and the ones who do say they want to meet usually whimp out at the last minute, it is just something you learn to deal with with the internet. | |

Posted: 1/2/2009 3:17:33 PM | | What kind of standing up are you referring to. Since I ordinarily get those that make appointments to call.....(blind date wise) but then never ever return phone calls.....in essence that's like being stood up as well. Especially since most of these set ups online start out as phone calls to begin with. Ordinarily I don't get stood up....I get those WONDERFUL psychos that tell me that they love me & want me to move in the next day....& when I balk at it they accuse me of seeing another guy that night......yep...true story! Yet, I still am an optimist....there HAS to be something out there for each & every one of us.....I say something because "I" personally am wanting a man...but you men are wanting a woman....& I didn't wanna discriminate! LOL~! (Oh...then there are also the alternative lifestylers....forgot y'all too! Sorry!) | |

Posted: 4/11/2009 8:50:02 PM | | I met a great guy funny, entertaining, and very affectionate. We were supposed to meet for breakfast this morning and he was a no show. I called his cell and apparently it is off or out of the area. So I wasted a perfectly good Easter weekend to make a time commitment to a man who does not have the good manners to call and cancel or hell dump me in a cell phone. I do not get these head games where he comes on like a steaming train and just pulls a no show. I am getting very discouraged it might be better to just stay single and avoid the men on POF and just stay single with clear expectations on what to expect from your weekend and not wait for nothing. Just sounding off - SORRY | |
