That's good. It's not fun. The key is to never let them know they hurt you. Just pick yourself up, dust yourself off and move on.

being stood up wouldn't hurt me I've been through alot worse situations

i know the feeling try getting stood up at an airport in a strange city in a state fae awy from where you live and being there for 12 hours before you are able to buy a ticket to fly back home. that happened to me needless to say that relationship never happened never heard from or met that person. but learned a great lesson if any one wants to meet me they have to come to me.

I know you would...but certain people in this thread wont. Not even if the email sent was a simple hello.

Send it again. I didn't get it.

2 meetings set up from here..stood up both times. I just find it terribly rude more than anything else.

I think this happened to once a long time ago...I think I was a slow boiling pissed off after I waited for a hour or two. The other thing that has happened is the communcation line goes dead on the other end. I have had some good communication and agreement to talk about a first date and then she just quit emailing me and that is last I heard from her.....I think it is rude, childish, and inconsiderate.....

Wow....this is big ouch....I am curious to know how long you had been communicating with this one??

Im sorry.I got scaredI wont do it again

I find it so difficult to understand how hard it is to call someone and just say you changed your mind??

It's what a lot of people do though. I prefer to be told (and via email or text is fine) that they wish to have the communication stop. I did it for a guy I was talking to for weeks. I realized that there were things I really did not like about this person. So, rather than just not returning his calls or emails, I told him that I wanted to stop the friendship. I know it's not fun to hear that and it hurts a little. But, I think it's so much better than getting the silent treatment and not knowing if the other person is losing interest or just busy.

I think it is very difficult for most people.

At least YOU had someone SAY they would go out with ya,wink,lol THATS not say a lot,,,yet it is,,,,
I am sorry this happen to you..

I have never been sit-up,or missed for a meeting or date,,,
I have had MANY,,,change their minds,,,but never a no-show..
I guess thats because,,we would be talking on the phone,,,as we were in route,wink,?

Had that happen 3 times this year........ooooh it makes me so mad!!!!

It happens and no one likes it.

for almost a year and i thought things were progressing toward something special. but it was a huge mistake on my part and one i will never repeat

A bummer. I've only been stood up three times in my life, truly, this no bs. 1: when I was 17, back 38 years ago, by the very first date ever. 2: two years ago, by a woman who was selling some Sex in the City DVDs or Craigslist. I stood, literally, for an hour in a subway stop, waiting for her. 3: by a guy who bought some stuff from me on CraigsList. I called him next day, he apologized, he said he slept during the pre-agreed date (2 pm) and he'd come up now. He did, we met at a pizza place's parking lot and he bought the stuff alright.

So: If you want advice, read below. If you want empathy, I agree, it's a b*tch. Horrible. The unfairness of it all

Advice: You have to know ahead of time who would and who would not stand you up willingly. A good looking guy will take it easy: he will stand you up 50% of the time. A good looking tall guy will toy with you, use you up and toss you to the side after. A short, fat, ugly guy whose feet smell will be an hour early for your dates. A politicized mass murderer and known carrier of HIV in your town that the papers are always articling, he'll be there. Your dentist will be there, but your masseur won't. Your executioner will be there, but your heart surgeon will have an uncancellable golf date. You can't win. You can't break even. You can't even quit the game, the dating game, for hormonal reasons.

not to sound mean maybe it happened for a reason. iv'e been stood up before but didnt let it get me down, things happen and sometimes it sucks but you just gotta go on. don't sweat it is my best advice. it may hurt but it could also be worse hang in there

I would never ignore you!

Somebody must like it. Otherwise it would not be so popular.

The person doing the no-show part. He or she must have a much more fun event to attend to. Like washing his underwear after the mess, because he was so excited of meeting you. And he can't give that as an excuse could he. It would ruin all his chances with you.

Just saying. Don't judge a stone with his own bile.
