Only had one arrangement so far. Had just set off when I received a text saying "sorry, I've had a bad weekend, can we rain-check?" I replied, all sweetness and light with "oh that's no problem" and "I hope everything's ok". Never heard from her again. |

That's just the attitude you should have adopted too. You didn't meet the woman in question so lost absolutely nothing and nothing would have been gained by harrassing her further. Kudos to you pal.  |

erm, thanks, lol. I guess some people might react differently, but it just seemed obvious to leave her to it. I'm hardly gonna lose any sleep over it, if she wants to get in touch she still can, and really I've got better things to do with my time (like lurk around the forums) than pursue someone who may not want to be pursued. |

Had it too a few weeks ago they called offjust around the time we were to meet,its obvious now the excuse was just an excuse but it would have been better if they had been honest with us. |

Just my tuppence of social commentary from the peanut gallery....
I reckon a large part of single guys not turning up is to do with power. Some guys cant stand that, in a male ruled world, there is a tiny niche where everyone is perhaps equal (swinging) or worse, single guys are bottom of the pile. Thus, conciously or not, they like to cause problems and assert some control. Even if it just makes them look like a dickhead.

we had been let down at least 5 times in a row when I moved back to the south -west very nearly gave up all together, this again was all single guys and never even a message to say sorry, I don't give a guy 2nd chance unless a very genuine reason, life is far to short and plenty more out there!! |

When I first (nervously) joined Fab my first two meets cancelled last minute, I almost gave up after that and for a while wouldn't commit to meetings. One of my friends said 'don't give up, it happens to everyone', and I'm so glad I didn't as I've now met some great people on here since! |

Yeah I know there are some awsome people on here. On a related note a very nice individual sent me a pick me up relating to this thread and said the same thing as your friend. I was smiling from ear to ear at how thoughtful the email was! |

Being new here I cant really comment on no-shows as such, but if you arrange to meet someone, then you try your hardest to make it, if not then be honest, dont make up flimsy excuses |
