First date tonight & been blocked

[Newpjamas]

Wth…
Was all set to meet up for a first date with someone i been talking to from online dating
He been txting all week morning & goodnight txts, said he has booked for our date arranged times etc.. whats apped last night
I replied this morning and hes removed his profile pic and theres one grey tick
I had arranged childcare & everything
I give up!!!!!

My guess..... he's recently single, the ex (who he things he still stands a chance with) found out he was on a dating site and they argued, he deleted his profile 🤷🏻‍♀️ nothing to do with you I'm sure so do t take it personally

Send him a text, he might of blocked you on WhatsApp but probably not on his phone, tell him how shitty and immature his behaviour is then block him.

It's frustrating but common. Try to see it as a lucky escape. Can you arrange to go out with a friend tonight or even just treat yourself to something instead? Others will tell you to block him back, I prefer not to stoop to his level but definitely don't entertain any excuses he comes up with.

Probably too nervous to meet and can't face up to telling you.

Lucky escape! Can you head out with a friend instead, shame to waste the childcare!

Lol at to nervous! Married more like.

Yeah, married/in a relationship, enjoyed the thrill of the chat but too scared to see it through - lucky escape really OP.

Perhaps his wife found out about his date.

Oh dear don’t do this. Do not contact him.

Had you actually spoken?

But yeah. Married or in a relationship is my bet.

Maybe send a message on WhatsApp and see if all OK

Don't jump straight to assuming worst case

It may be that, but it may also be a technical hitch.

If he doesn't reply to the WhatsApp, then thats a clearer answer

It's literally nothing to do with you. He was likely speaking to multiple people and preferred one of them, maybe they seemed easier to get into bed, maybe they liked the same music. Doesn't matter. With online dating you can't really know what type of thing the person is looking for but the fact is it's a forum where it's easy to just make people disappear than in real life, and people take advantage of this.

Why not join groups around things you're interested in instead? Even online, and get to know people that way? Online dating seems too much of an in the dark minefield whereas joining things you are passionate about means you meet people with similar interests, it sets you on a better path I believe.

Thanks everyone
It was on whats ap where i sent him a message this morning to see he had removed his wats ap pic
An one grey tick
Ive just looked on the dating website and he’s blocked me on there…
Grrrr

Yup - then that doesnt sound like a techincal issue.

Lucky escape then, at least you hadnt wasted years on him

Can you go out with a friend tonight?

Lucky escape. Sorry I know how shitty it is though to have childcare etc.

If you can on some apps you can still report them after they've deleted the conversation. I know I would. Not sure what they do but maybe if someone gets enough reports they block them

But yeah totally married. So consider yourself saved doing your hair and make up. That's what I hate the most about shit dates. What a waste of good make up...

That's awful. I agree go out with friends.

Dont do this OP

He's a prat but at least you know now sooner rather than later. I think this is quite common for online dating.

Prince amongst men.

He probably just changed his mind but too cowardly to actually tell you.

So I’ve been in a relationship for 2 years. He’s a great guy but we have had our ups and downs. We’ve always gotten through them. This past Sunday we got into a fight and it turned into talking about us being unhappy. I have noticed for a while he has been pulling away and acting and a happy but he has always said no everything is fine. Well he finally admitted that he is unhappy. Another piece to this puzzle is that there has been a girl hanging around him with her son to play with his son since last year in October. He says that he doesn’t see her as anything but a friend and that his son likes to play with her son but he will hang out with her alone as well. Fast forward to this past Sunday during the talk to you he said he was unhappy but he wanted to work on things. After those things have been very awkward and distant I have been giving him his space but I have been a hot mess. He continued to hang out with that girl and do stuff with his son and her and her son. It finally all got to me by Thursday yesterday and I very calmly told him that if he cannot put her on the back burner and put me on the front burner to work on things then we’re done. He agreed. He came over last night and it was just so awkward and he was so distant. I just recently also got back surgery four weeks ago so he has had to come to my house because I cannot drive yet. I don’t know what to do I am lost on this I don’t wanna give up on him but I’m starting to think we’re not going to make it. What do you guys think?

Kocsisks start your own thread.

Yes I realized I messed up. Still trying to figure out how to use this. Sorry for the confusion

He’s either in a relationship or he’s a coward & didn’t know how to cancel. Or both.

Some men are so weak.

@Kocsisks at the top of your post you’ll see a report button. You can report your comment and ask MNHQ to make it a standalone thread for you.

@Newpjamas don’t waste another second on him. Go out and have some time to just enjoy yourself - you’ve got a babysitter, you might as well take advantage.
