Why do guys do this?
They pursue then make a date email back and forth to set a day, time and place....then they don't show-up....WTF

Is it just me or are others perplexed by this phenomenon?

Does this mean guys are also becoming fickle minded these days?!

Anyway, you may wanna give them a "...next!" attitude, Lili_M flowerforyou It's their loss not yours.

It's just so irritating. To go to the effort and they don't have the courtesy to keep the date that THEY made.

Oh I am so on to the NEXT but...

I guess I am just looking for a reasonable explanation for why?

I'd say obnoxious people just do what they do without any reason at all. Your profile shows you as an interesting woman, I don't see any particular reason why a decent man would not keep a date with someone like you.

maybe his wife didn't let him use the car

maybe his mom asked him where he thought he was going

maybe he made the date knowing full well he was broke

maybe he got arrested

maybe he had a flat, no spare, locked the keys in his car and his cell died

in any case, guys like him ruin things for guys who really would like to take you out

Because at the really big "guy" meeting that we all have before one us goes out on a date, we told him that he shouldn't go because he had the reputation to keep. I mean...if he would have shown up, then us guys wouldn't be known as no-shows would we.

Perhaps, after thinking about the meeting, he didn't want to meet you. Maybe he was trying to make a date with several women, and one he preferred more said yes, but only after he made the date with you... so he stood you up to be with her...

maybe he's a wimp, and left to meet you but could not show up. Maybe he was lying to you about who he was and/or what he looked like and did not want to face the music...

who knows, only he knows - but you are likely not going to get an answer from him. You are trying to get a logical answer to an emotional thing...

forget about it and move along... nothing to see here...

p.s. I am sure women do this too....

*sigh*

I cannot even imagine this scenario.
It would seem to me, that you need to
build up a little more 'want' in your
dates.
So they would rather lose a testicle,
than a date with you.

I don't think this is just an issue with men. Though, there's never an excuse for standing someone up.
