"been talking to someone on here for ages and arranged to meet today and booked a day off work. as you can imagine a little pissed off"
Ok - a few questions!!
Talking on here? Just here? Or did you speak on the phone? Or chat on cam, either on here or Skype?
Are they verified, with a half decent profile, have been on a while and local to you?
Or was this an unverified, no pics profile with no previous veri's - that messaged you first and made all kind if promises as to what would happen on your meet?
Timewaster is a word often thrown about - but common sense, decent interaction (phone chats etc) and a sensible approach are all that are usually needed to avoid this sort of thing happening.
If you've done your homework and as much vetting as possible - you have my sympathies. If you've gone diving in and booked a day off after a couple of message swaps on site then sorry - but you only have yourself to blame for any disappointment! |

yes messaged for quite a while and talked on the phone on numerous occasions also swapped face pics, but you live and learn. |

Think positively !
What else can you do with the rest of your day ?
I can understand your frustration but it really isn't the end of the world
Also, completely throwing your teddy won't help matters.
Maybe, just maybe, the excuses were genuine and the person who you feel let you down would have met again at another point.
If you want to name and shame them, I am guessing they have had it both barrels in PM and as such, that may no longer be an option.
Positive action is usually more constructive than a negative reaction.
I hope you find something to do to take the edge off your day  |

Just dont fall for same crap next time - always arrange a "social" meet first because that tends to sort out the serious ones from the wanna be dickheads  |
