True word is a good one. Alot of guys don't have that anymore. They aren't true to what they say.. Some guys just don't think about the affect it has on the other person. If you say you want to see or go out with the other person then do it, otherwise don't ask in the first place..

dang, everybody is quoting everybody laugh laugh laugh

I say that sometimes we are too tired, and ask for a raincheck. And then sometimes we think about it and decide maybe it's best to wait. There can be a lot of reasons. What I really hate is when a girl accepts and then just doesn't even show up at all. I have no problem with it if she just says that it's not a good time with all that is happening right now, or she is tired, or she needs more time to think. It's more aggravating to me when they just offer no explanation. We all have hardships in our lives, and we want to be able to enjoy ourselves when we do go out, so sometimes it's just better to wait a while. What is most important is that you're still keeping in touch.

I think it's silly. If you're not ready to meet someone don't agree to meet them. Otherwise maybe you're not mature enough to date yet.


Nope, not immature. I'd just gotten out of a long running relationship and wasn't ready to venture back out like I thought I was. I didn't wait til the LAST possible second...lol, but a few hours, when my nerves really started getting the better of me, yes. I'm human, we're all human. I think it may just be our gut telling us something's not right.


Eh, I guess my thing is, I would have had to talk to a guy for a lonnnnnnng time to even agree to go out with him, so by then, I would know for sure. I don't know, it just seems inconsiderate to me.


Its not like I planned it, and I did feel terrible about it. I just couldn't make myself do something that didn't feel right.


Well at least you felt bad about it. A guy did that to me recently and he didn't care how I felt about it. So it's good that you did.

I don't think it's bad to wait, but what pissed me off was he kept obsessing over it, as if he really wanted to meet me and then he sends me that crappy email saying he wasn't into me. Whatever....

Well that sucks. Now I don't feel so bad. At least he told me he didn't like me anymore. It would have been horrid if he just didn't show up.

You get one chance with me. You play that cancel at the last minute crap you don't get a second chance. Lose my number. Dinners and concerts are expensive. If you're that indecisive and insecure and neurotic go see a doctor.

I see nothing wrong with them not being ready, it's just better if they realize it before talking to you for months and calling you everyday for 3 days to "confirm the date." But that's just me...

My last date that called at the last minute and cancelled was a year ago and the event was a concert A-list all access backstage pass event. She made up an excuse and regrets it now. I refuse her calls and messages. She's even went as low as passing notes to mutual freinds to give to me. Sorry. You blatantly lie to me once the trust is gone.

Nah not really bad. One phone call and an explaination of the evenings events and what is expected and I made someone else very happy on an outrageous date.

Oh, I thought you missed the concert when she bailed on you. Well, if you got a better date out of the situation, no worries then...

I was stood up once. So having someone cancel is not so bad.
Who knows why people cancel dates. I've had things come up and had to reschedule.

Yeah I guess. I just have a new policy, no more internet dating. It's too complicated.

My new date had 20 minutes to get ready. That's cutting it close. Um uh. I'm single and no kids. I date a lot. Even can budget an expense account for it.

Well I'm glad it turned into a positive experience. I thought you were stuck with tickets you couldn't use. So that's a happy story. :)

But with all the dating I do I have a lot of horror stories. Internet dating is a complete joke. Buncg od sh!tty liars conning others into meeting them. "uh you look nothing like your picture.". "oh sorry forgot to tell you that pictures 6 years old. You're not mad are ya?" and I've had the lying grandma. Says she's 38 and you show up and she's 58. I've got up and walked out on them. Don't insult me with a lie. Not funny.
