Topic: Excuses | |
---|---|
I've been using dating site off and on for a few years now but still learning some of the culture that exist on them so please forgive me if I sound naive or clueless.
Ever make plans to meet anyone, like numerous times and every time you do, something amazing has happened to them and you never meet. At times you may go days without taking to them only to hear from them later and they have such a story to tell you and they couldn't get to a computer (or phone, cell phone even) to let you know earlier? I'm generally a very patient person but I know when I'm being taken for a ride too. My question is, how long would any of you let it go on? |

I never put all my eggs in one basket till we can agree on something.

As long as you want too. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Strange things do happen, and if they happen with the same lady, its time to move on.

Oh when you have to ask it means its bad............people who have that many excuses to meet then have even more excuses for awhole lot of other things...........move on ........

I would say if you are questioning the person's reasons for not meeting, then let them go.

When there is so much doubt you must ask then move on.
First time understandable. Second time it happens question it. Third time turn and walk away. At least by then you know you tried and they did not want to. Leaves no what if's on your end. |

If that many bad things happen to one person, then their lives are either way to complicated for a relationship right now, they are bad bad luck...stay very far away, or they are too scared to go through with the meeting, but enjoy your online company so much they are not willing to cut you loose to find someone who will. Sorry for your bad experience.

I don't wait....one-to-one correspondence is what i expect....if i send an email or make a call i expect one in return....sometimes i will make a second contact but that would be the last if it weren't reciprocated....but like others have said don't rely on just one person....unless you know for sure.... |

Pretty much what I was thinking too, sometimes I tend to let things go on forever because I don't get annoyed as quickly as I should. I tend to give the benefit of the doubt to often but I also do trust my instincts.
I was supposed to met this person last weekend. I sent them 4 text messages with no reply. Then yesterday I received four text messages from her. I did not answer those but I did answer the message she sent to me yesterday. She wanted to know how I was feeling. I gave an ambiguous answer about how I was feeling at that moment just not to be rude and not answer that message. Don't know what her reason might be. She made contact with me first anyway. Last time I was in a similar situation, the girl turned out to be married still! Never got to involved with that one either. thanks you guys, just needed to know if my instincts were correct and I not crazy (in that way lol). |
