Yabu I’ll go on this date
Yanbu i’ll cancel the date

I have been messaging a guy online (online dating) we don’t know each other and have never met, we exchanged a few messages and he asked me to meet for a coffee, I said yes and we arranged a date for tomorrow pm (Thursday)

Now here is my dilemma...since saying yes I haven’t really heard from him at all and any communication has been brief and instigated by me! I was expecting the interim period as a get to know you session with the usual questions etc but nothing I hardly know anything about him and vice versa!

So today with the date looming (tomorrow) I’m not feeling it...I did really like him Initially but his lack of any effort has put me right off and I don’t know whether to cancel now and if I do what should I say?

Or should I go and just see what’s he’s like in person? Because I dong have to see him again if I don’t want to?

Help

I must be in a bad mood because I want you to track him down and give him a whack around the head.

I hit yanbu on the post OP, you shouldn't go.

Then I read your update. He reads all wrong to me. Sorry gwen cancelled on you. It's his loss.

He* not gwen

Do you have his Whatsapp number? MN will have some ideas to teach him manners. Sorry it was a waste, but at least you knew something was off.
On to the next OP!

I’m sorry that you were let down.
I’m just wondering though, you said that once the date was arranged, that there was no communication between you except that which was instigated by you. Maybe he felt a bit harangued by your several subsequent messages? I don’t know.
Sounds like he got cold feet. Probably he felt it wasn’t right.

Oh I’m sorry he did that!

What a dick

@1Morewineplease that's no excuse to stand someone up though! Just do the right and polite thing and say before the other person wastes their time!

Babs709 · 09/07/2020 18:31

Oh no!!! What a douchebag. Sorry OP!

Yes, he should have but he didn’t post so that advice is moot.

Jellykat · 09/07/2020 18:42

What a shit, he could've manned up and just cancelled.. pathetic!

LegitSnack · 09/07/2020 18:57

What an absolute prick!

Wilkiemini · 09/07/2020 19:16

He didn’t even reply to my messages asking if he was running late? I don’t understand why people do that!

He arranged the date and he confirmed it this morning why then not bother showing up...that’s the first time I’ve been stood up lol
More fool him because I stuck my music on and walked around the lakes dancing to my own time I went home happy that I dodged a bullet ;)

No I’m not taking the blame here he got ONE message from me after practically ghosting me it just asked if he still wanted to meet up...which he ignored until the morning of the date then he confirmed he was free...but still didn’t bother showing up!

I have his mobile number which I think he forgot he gave me...so contemplating getting someone to send him some dick pics or maybe adding his number to a toilet door somewhere seedy lol

I wouldn’t do that really I shall turn my perfect cheeks and flounce away to find someone with mote integrity :)

You've dodged a bullet there, who does that? Has he been in touch to explain?
