Arranged to meet, drove half an hour, waited for a message once there which I never received, got one back three hours later apologising, but she had to pick her partners brother up from prison because his own brother had let him down at the last minute,she was worried sick and totally forgot to message me back in her rush to get there!
Fuck off pinochio lol |

His car broke down. Allegedly.
He didn't message to tell me this until 15 minutes after we were supposed to have met.
Ah well.
The prison story is so weird it could well be true |

Ha! Ny wife and I had one where HE was supposedly in jail for two days but he was "innocent" - apparently a case of "mistaken identity"  
We said it was fine.. never heard from him again.

Apparently her mum had a really bad knee!!! Honestly you couldn’t make it up. Arranged to try and meet the following week like an idiot. No show again and she said her mums knee had been playing up again!!!
I mean come on is was a poor excuse to use once but to use it twice is mind boggling. Still doesn’t stop you feeling like an idiot though as letting people down is inexcusable. |

One guy claimed he'd got stuck in traffic. So, I gave him a second chance. We organised a date & time, he was a no show. He eventually got back, explaining he'd gone on holiday. 
He didn't get a third chance |

Told by a couple of here that they didn't meet us because the lady died in a horrific car crash on route. This was like a week or after we should have met.
They then went on to keep getting veried as a couple at clubs, still are doing and occasionally pop up in our messages, talking as if we've never spoken before. |

Was due to meet a single guy for a social.
Day before he tells me he can't make it, as he has to have his child now.
That would have been fair enough had he not displayed a new graphic veri, the day after we should have met |

Perhaps similar to the Brazilian woman who took her dead husband to the bank this week. The staff thought he was a little pale  but didn't leave any veris |

Perhaps there's a niche for swinging zombies or playing with the undead. There's nothing as strange as folk. |

haha yea the give away veri
got a message 40 minutes before we were due to meet that his sister was having a major melt down - her husband had died a week ago and needed him 
veri the next day from a meet at the local club - seems his 'sister' probably needed an evening in a hot tub |

That's a disgusting "excuse". |

We had a message from a single guy shortly before we were due to meet claiming that he had been to a wake and was too pissed to turn up!
Another guy told us the roads were too icy and he was afraid he would fall off his bike. |

Had a guy cancel on me last minute telling me his best mate had died, then messaged me off a brand new profile 2 days later as if we’d never chatted before!
If he hadn’t used exactly the same photos as his old profile I might’ve fallen for it… |

One guy didn't bother to turn up for a meet, his excuse was he didn't want to use condoms.... he then tried to persuade me to give him a third ( yes I know! ) chance and threw his dummy out of the pram and said if he had turned up he would have deliberately ripped the condom! What a charmer lucky escape for me |

She didnt believe me but said sorry 3 days latter when her sister who was an a&e nurse said they had a man brought in that morning lucky to be alive. We had a meet 2 days after that and i arrived with leg in plaster. And i got a sorry blow job. She signed my plaster cast as well. Her sister was nice as well. Lol |

Had one the other week, drove 20 miles, looked at fab when I got there to be told they had to cancel because of……emergency gardening
What in the world could happen that constitutes an emergency gardening situation
It was that bad I laughed my arse off

An hour before the guy was supposed to turn up, we got a text from him explaining that - not far from us - he had come off his motorbike when he got blindsided by a car. He was texting from his hospital bed, and wouldn't be able to contact us anymore due to restrictions.
Knowing people in the local medical scene, the wife did some checking, and there no admissions from motorbike accidents that day in hospitals in 30 mile radius. Nor was it reported on the local news, and around our way, a cat farting gets a mention from the local journos.
It's an elaborate way of saying that they just wanted to wank off over correspondence... |

"I ran outta gas. I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from outta town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake, a terrible flood, locusts! IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!!!"
Belushi probably tried the same stuff when his wife found out he was screwing Carrie Fisher at the time... |

I’ve not had a no show. Thankfully.
But I have had the ‘changed their mind’, which is okay, I get it… and also don’t, because just tell me before you agree to meeting that your not 100 percent sure, because then I won’t be 100 percent convinced you’ll show up and I won’t arrange anything  
I’ve also had the radio silence. …
…
And then the excuses afterwards. ‘I fell asleep!’ That was the best the best. But those I know never to leave me my house.
So I’m lucky, I’ve never been stood up yet.

Oh I’ve had a couple - one was a simple no show and no contact after quite a while chatting on here, the second was I had to cancel last minute after having several meets already with this lady, I did apologise for a genuine reason and was told “well I won’t meet you again as you can’t devote your time, which is the greatest gift you can give someone, to me…” I was a bit - what? |

"She messaged to tell me she had actually died 3 weeks previously and her account had been hacked by her ex "to keep her memory alive"
Fantastic"
Please tell me that this is true. I’ve often thought of using this excuse to avoid work and other things I don’t want to do. Of it’s a once in a death use card. |

Across this site and other places that I use, I imagine that I am running at about the same. Maybe even higher. I am developing a sense that the monosyllabic no picture anon contacts are usually so anxious that they will never meet in a million years. |

On the other side of the fence, I had a fwb on here and we agreed to meet a couple socially. I turned up but she didn’t. She messaged me to say she was at an emergency appointment which was genuinely true but the couple thought she was fake and so we never heard from them again. |

Reminds me of the time I drove 30 minutes to the address I’d been given from a well verified profile. Got there, messaged to say I had arrived and they immediately blocked me. |

Had one a few weeks ago, this was after a last minute cancellation the week before.
Five minutes before time I got a message "Sorry on the phone to the wife."
I wasn't a verified member at the time, if I was I would have gone and taken a big shit on his profile. (blush) |

7 couples bailed out of meets within 24hrs of it. Babysitters, family issues, car issues.
1 couple the had a verification from a couple same night I was supposed to meet them. Rain check my ass.
My area is a total dessert more luck in your local Aldi |

You’re not doing too bad- you’ve had more failed meets in a month than I’ve had good or bad meets in over 2 years! If Louth is a desert, I must be on the dark side of the moon! |

Not had a no show but I rarely arrange 1 on 1 meets.
However I did have to do a no-show on a club social meet that I had put my name down on because my female friend who was going to be driving us called me to say her step dad had died that afternoon and didn't feel up to it.
Sometimes people do have things happen which prevents them for meeting but I don't understand why people lie, just honestly say you're not going to meet as you've changed your mind way before the arranged time. That gives the person time to make alternative plans, it takes planning to get childcare and it's a shame to waste and opportunity. |

'He was leaving the house to meet me and his elderly neighbour asked for help in moving his furniture about' ....allegedly
'He was taking his mate home in a taxi before coming to meet me, his mate fell out of the door, hit his head and had a seizure'....apparently
'He was getting ready to meet me (going to a club) and someone else asked him to go with them so he's meeting them'(was literally ready about to leave when he messaged)
Ironic thing is, they didn't show up and he was messaged me an hour later asking me to go with him... it wasn't a pretty reply, it involved the words 'off' and 'fuck' |
