I'm going to be stood up aren't I?

Have been chatting with a guy online recently. Get on really well and arranged for him to come over this evening. He is due in 30 minutes.

I haven't heard from him since Thursday (normally message every day) I messaged earlier asking if were still on for today and no response.

He has my postcode but not full address so couldn't arrive without getting in touch. He isn't showing up is he?

Doesn’t sound like it unfortunately , have a pamper evening and order your favourite takeaway - his loss

I would actually ring him. I could not be arsed with being on tenterhooks all evening. I would imagine that he's not coming and I think that's really shit.

Sorry OP! He can get lost, I hope you have a lovely night in

That is rubbish! Run a bath and have a glass of wine. His loss.

Not sure but inviting a random male off the internet to your home is a terrible idea!

Is this the first meeting and it's at your house??

Could you not meet him (or anyone else in future) for a coffee before inviting him to your home?

I doubt it. So rude of them.

Also please don’t have first dates in your home

Exactly what I was going to say! Surely meeting in a public place for a drink the first time would be safest? Even if you do bring him home an hour later (not judging, I would if was nice).

Is this a windup? You've invited a total stranger to your house.

I think this is a good thing! (Probably he’s not got his mums permission to be out late 😂) don’t invite strangers to your house!

Just message him, cancel & block.

Job done.

You’ve probably had a lucky escape.

Given you have never met this individual in person before, I think it’s fortunate that he doesn’t know your address, and is seemingly not turning up.

Just repeating what everyone else said, what are you doing inviting a random stranger to your house? Meet up in public first!

Yeah, voted YABU, don’t invite randoms to your house 😲

It does sound like it, but it's perhaps for the best as others have said, not a good idea to invite him to your home before getting to know him much, much better (in person).

Gets rid of the uncertainty over whether he's coming or not. Also -- the best, and safest, option.

I completely agree with not inviting anyone to your house on a first date - you need neutral territory where you can make a quick exit if needs be.

But no, doesn’t sound like he’s coming. Order a takeaway and count it as a win you’ve found out he is an inconsiderate arse so early on.

It’s for the best. If nothing else he is very very rude, you don’t need that!!!

Don’t be spending all night miserable because this idiot has not turned up. He is a nothing! Seriously - move on and find someone who deserves you - he really doesn’t.

Get a spooky film on and get something nice to eat, or ring/see friends.

I hope he stands you up from a safekeeping point of view!! Please let us know you are ok in case he shows up…

This. What on earth were you thinking?

I'm hoping he doesn't come. You need to do more to keep yourself safe.
I also hope no children live in your home.

Hopefully he doesn’t.
Please meet strangers in public in a public place and don’t take them home or anywhere near your home until you have ensured there’s no red flags first.

So many people have died because of doing this, no one else should have to die because of the same mistakes.
