I do background checks now after a dinner date turned into a psycho stalker that tried to burn my house down.

That's freaky. Sounds like it'd just be easier to date in real life. Too dangerous...

I canceled a date once when I was 16. I actually was sick. He ended up coming over anyways with flowers and stayed for an hour to keep me company, but we did go out a few days later. Otherwise I have never been the one to cancel it since.

I have cancelled and postponed dates before purely due to overlapping schedule conflicts.

Girls really do flake out on dates more than guys do. If you disagree, I dare you to take a statistical survey and I guarantee that you will discover that girls flake out wayyy more, assuming that the guys surveyed are not all bass guitarists. I am so sure of this fact that I would bet all my worldly posessions on it.

why? motivation through emotion. to women, emotions are very temporary so her motivation to do anything can come and go as easily as she can walk from point A to point B. we men don't understand mood swings because our emotions last longer, so motivation stays. all this sh!t has been scientifically proven, by the way, so don't give me any of that "youre sexist" bullsh!t.

You can't generalize all women. We don't all operate strictly from emotion. To me it doesn't matter who does the "flaking out." It just seems to me, if you are a mature individual- of whatever gender- you should know if you are interested in someone before you go and ask them out. It's one thing if the person who was asked out changes their mind for whatever reason, but to actually go to the trouble of asking someone out, planning a date for a week in advance and then the day before, "you're scared" or whatever, sounds like teenager stuff.

Sounds good in theory, but being a jerk won't show up on a background check- only criminal behavior, for which they were caught, will.
