do you give people? I mean if somebody has done something and you are not happy about it.. Do you question them, ignore the event, give them a second and third and whatever many chances?
Not thinking about anything in particular just wondering what people do?  |

Interesting. On here you give just one - can you say a bit more please? I mean if somebody had to cancel a meet would that mean they lost out?
I am really bad for giving people umpteen chances in life and even on here and I am wondering whether I have been too generous at times. |

Fool me once shame on you
Fool me twice shame on me!
I always like a reason or clarification and if I give them a second chance and they disapoint me again then that's my own stupid fault |

I tend to give two in most cases. Everyone makes mistakes and communication is a two way street.
If there's been a misunderstanding then both parties are to some extent responsible - and it's the responsibility of the person who feels in some way aggrieved or let down to clarify rules, situations and circumstances.
If you need to have a conversation about the same thing more than twice - then either the message isn't sinking in - or there's a very different point of _iew or attitude that means it's best to part ways and move on. |

On here they will get a chance to explain themselves, if I don't like the explanation then they're gone. In life I'm pretty much the same. It helps that I'm not easily offended and have a great, but small, circle of friends. |

"On here, one. I used to give two but some people took the piss. In real life, it does depend on the reasons but usually two or three. I am much more tolerant in real life.  "
Interesting thought about being more tolerant in real life - I am also (even) more tolerant in real life. |

Big difference here to real life...love to a friend etc and so I'd have to weigh up each scenario individually....I won't have people take the "pee" out of me, depends if they can prove their worth. |

I am not say I do let people, I am saying there is a difference and what one person thinks is taking the piss another will not, relationship wise I think it is very easy to say you won't, but in reality you do...eg who does most of the housework etc could be deemed as taking the piss...all in all a perception is not always right. |

Hmm. Its all contextual I guess. I would find out why first of all and take it from there.
There are some people in my life who will never run out of do-overs, pardons and forgiveness.
Others, Id just walk away. |

if its my son and my hubby i will usually tell them if they have annoyed me, with my brothers and sister and parents i couldnt say anything though because i knew it would be pointless as i knew what they would say.
me and my sister didnt get on we had to stay in contact when my dad was dying of cancer, then when he died, i called her and asked if she would like to come round to my house, we lived in the same street. she didnt want to and was the same cold, cruel person she has always been, so after that i never had anything to do with her again except to send birthday and christmas cards. |

Because I know how many times others have mis-undestood something I have said or done I will always seek an explanation and give the person another opportunity. |

I am with you on that one - I always give benefit of doubt, allow for me not having been understood etc. - perhaps I am wrong there but I do give several chances. If I find I have been lied to - that is diffferent. |

Surely Affro, it depends on the combined worth we place on our social interaction with that person coupled to the predetermined expectations we've subconsciously formulated about the level of reciprocated appreciation that entails....
Yeah.... thats it, or sumit like that anyway.....  |

At the end of the day, we may learn through experience and 'toughen up' but if our nature is to be too forgiving - we're stuck with it.

Me too! I guess some of this is about taking risks with being let down again? I kind of think I would prefer to take that risk rather than cut myself off form that person (I am tlaking real life, not the site now). |

It would depend who and what the situation was.
Friends get chances, too numerous to mention as they give me, friendship is not about judging and ultimatums. I love and accept my friends with their faults, as they do me

I arranged a meet with a guy for a Tuesday as he said he was on duty all weekend. We kept in touch and exchanged pics etc and then the night before I happened to check his profile.
He'd been fucking someone off here all weekend and was stupid enough to leave the veri on display.
He never even got a chance - he was blocked on here and whatsapp
I don't have to explain myself, neither does he but I won't be lied to

Will I feel bad? Will I feel guilty? Will I feel ok with my decision? And I think that informs my action somehow.
I know some people who are very distrustful, everyone else is suspect and wants to take advantage. I would hate to be like that.
Assume the best of people, often I find I have to re-asses things, but that's me. Me too! I guess some of this is about taking risks with being let down again? I kind of think I would prefer to take that risk rather than cut myself off form that person (I am tlaking real life, not the site now)."
Yes I was talking real life - got to have your wits about you here |

"None!
Not ever? "
Why would I?!!
People on here mean nothing so why give them a second chance? Anyone that claims to be a friend and does something to betray my trust can't earn it back. Only my family, mainly my sisters and daughters have a "get out of jail free card": I love them, so will always turn the other cheek...I think, they haven't done anything: yet! |

"On here I don't give any chances as most mean fuck all to me to even warrant a chance...If its friends and family then I give them a couple of chances...
Promises are like comforts to a fool....
Family don't come into it unfortunately as I love them, so I don't count...sigh...more fool me.
I love my family!!"
Didn't say you didn't!
I meant there's no limit to mine because I love them, not you only giving a couple. My generosity of spirit only stretches to two of my sisters and my daughters. |

"do you give people? I mean if somebody has done something and you are not happy about it.. Do you question them, ignore the event, give them a second and third and whatever many chances?
Not thinking about anything in particular just wondering what people do? "
If its cancelled meet and is a stupid reason, then I delete them. Done it couple weeks ago and they havent asked to come back. If its genuine reason and they come back to ask to re-arrange then thats ok. But yes one chance only otherwise |

I can see wheer you are coming from - except I would not quite subscribe to the notion that people on here dont mean anything. Some people on here I have become friends with and they matter and I would treat their needing a second chance as different to somebody whom I had met on a casual basis. |

"Depends
how well I know them and what they have done, there far to many ifs and buts on this to give a defined answer to cover everyone and everything"
I guess I did not specifi what I was talking about and to be honest I thought perhaps best to keep it open and let people decide what they want to refer to. I agree it depends on the specifics of the situation, on how close one is to the people, what the trust and relationship are like etc. |

Fore it depends on the circumstances. But I tend to talk things through analyse it and move on. If the same mistakes are made then there is an issue to be resolved one way or another.
Life is sometimes too short to give up on people. |

Spot on, that is how I see it. I sometimes think I am too geneorus as stated above somewhere but then I do think people deserve the opportunity of an explanation and a second chance, more often than not. |

to be honest even if someone did piss me off I wouldn't mail them and question them about it as I feel I have no rights to question what people on here do, unless they made a personal attack on me, and I don't mean hit me lol
I was supposed t meet a guy last week and he canceled saying he had to work late, I don't know why but I had a feeling he was lying but I said ok no worries and a couple of days later I checked his profile, just out of curiosity and sure enough I found he was verified the day after we was supposed to meet by a woman saying they had met last night, I have to be honest it did piss me off a little as he knew id had to arrange a sitter and I had swapped my day off work to meet him yet even tho he knew this he still dropped me for a what he obviously saw as a better meet and didn't even have the decency to be honest with me, but I didn't mail him as I saw no point, it wouldn't change anything and didn't need to pester him for a answer why for him to state the obvious
Sometimes its best to think 'that's life and just move on rather than cause a scene with someone who after all owes you nothing |

On here or in the real world it all depends on the reasons given and explanation. Sometimes it's a zero mainly attributed to the fact that no reasonable explanation has been given or none at all..
In some cases people deserve more chances in life as life does throw at us unforeseen traumas and problems that account for a second chance if not a third... |

In this case, I agree with you. I would assume that it was his choice, his priorities and good luck to him. I would not give a second chance in these circumstances though, Good example of when not to pursue. |

My husband gets a few chances, my son gets unlimited chances, on here its only 1 chance.
A few days ago we arranged a meet and confirmed the day before then asked for the "where" go no reply ( even though been on and off site all day) finally got a reply 1 hour before the arranged time to say was stuck in traffic.
Today a short notice meet but arranged a time and place, I even text 30 minutes before to say on our way, turned up and no answer at external door ( ok buzzer maybe broke) door was open so went in and knocked on internal flat door, still no answer, ok try knocking a little louder...... a half asleep guy who didnt resemble his photo in a flat with all curtains drawn and rubbing his eyes at the door, I asked if he would like to rearange and he said yes, half way home hes texting saying he was "awake" now and he could freshen up in 5 minutes! No 2nd chance for either im afraid! |
