Yes, someone met online would repeatedly tell me I'd hear from them at certain times, only to make lame and transparent excuses about why I was being treated so rudely. Eventually I grew bored of the waiting not dating game and closed that chapter of my internet experience.

Yes I would have preferred that he call and cancel. To give me some lame excuse instead of waiting and him not showing. I felt like such a fool.

No.. never been stood up.
I have being propped up a few times.
Lol... and there has been a few times where I wish I would have been stood up...

Yes I have. Dodged that bullet is the way I see it.

IF ya gotta be propped up, tell the bartender to serve a round every 10 minutes, instead of every 5.


C'mon... there's gotta be more folks.


Or... is it that some of you are simply not setting up dates?











I'm really thinking I should write that book.

I have been on the giving end and the receiving end of being stood up. Now neither one of us are making any plans that include the other. It is like getting lucky when either one of us can get some sleep. She has called this abandonment issue so much at me that I have thrown it right back at her. But then we are both co-workers. My usual retort lately is, "Well, if you would quit being such a b*tch you wouldn't have so many abandonment issues." We usually laugh about that.

I think worse than being stood up is off the site to have someone show up that is obviously 10+ years older and not at all looks face or body wise like the pics posted on the site that prompted my interest and after lots of texts and calls prompted me to ask them out. It's not just the older and heavier its also like I was lied to from the beginning because she knew that pics from 2004 or so were up and I even asked how recent etc. I was a good guy stayed chatted but had no interest because it was a farce from the start.. I'd rather be stood up..

Do you know how exhausting that would be? I'd rather eat my pie and play Angry Birds on my phone.

Goofball, you could always attend my Academie'De Evil. I'll give you a degree and stuff.

The force is strong with this one.

Ive never been Stood up..

but have canceled because of a feeling..

i trust my instincts...

Nope, but there were a few times where I wish I would have been.

I have but I have a rule; "Fool me once shame on you, Fool me twice shame on me." I am not going to let some one make me ashamed of myself so they don't get a second chance. Maybe is kind of hard core but I let people know how to get in touch and it is just common decency to cancel unless some extream documentable reason exists.

@pacificstar

I agree. You only get one chance to pull a no-show, no-call maneuver. It's not baseball. You're out!

Back in the days before cellular technology's proliferation, it could be excusable depending on the reason given, but with the instant messages, cell calls, voicemail and email, there is no reason not to call and tell them you are going to cancel.

Emergencies (real, honest ones), I can give a second chance, but do not mess that one up.

I've been stood up on a date before, with no call or text. Almost wish she had just said No, when I asked, instead of agreeing and not showing up.

Yeah haha wasn't too fussed about it tho.. Annoyed for a short while but got over it. Her loss

ha. im like that. plan b eh!

I don't think it counts as being stood up. But there was one time when we set up a date but then her mother had a legit stroke 3 days before we were set to go out.

Ended up going on a date but that was the closest thing I can think of.
