look for another meet and watch for the thread tomorrow from a pissy female spouting about a bad man daring to seek a second meet on the same day as she was meeting him  |

"I'd leave, half an hour is long enough "
My first ever verified meet on here was over half an hour late (I can say that now they're UNLOS) - I was going to give about 5 more mins then they turned up hugely apologetic and we had a fantastic time!
Hour wait tops though ... |

We were 40 minutes late for a meet once because the train before ours broke down.
But we had exchanged contact details and were talking to the couple. If you've been stood up, then I'm sorry. It sucks. Its happened to us, too

I was two hours late once when I got the train to a meet in the last big storm we had. Managed to get through on the last train before they closed the line but I did keep him posted throughout. I think no communication and no show I'd give it an hour if I had a good book on me. |

"So you don't confirm a meet on the day through here? If I didn't hear anything on the day I wouldn't turn up,unless that was the arrangement."

"I don't have her number. We only communicate via fab.
And you went on a meet? 
More fool you tbh. "
Maybe, but its never been a problem with other meets in the past.
The bar is in the hotel I'm staying in anyway. So nothing lost.
Thanks for the virtual company fellow forumites. |

I've had people turn up late for me... I'm okay with that if there's a decent excuse. I've never been stood up (*touches wood*) though. I think that's pretty rude and there would be no second chance.
Hope your evening isn't wasted. |

I was over 2 hours late to a meet after getting stuck on the m6. My meet was very nice over it and even had food waiting for me when I finally arrived. We then had an awesome night at chams |

No one ever gets my number. It doesn't mean I'm unreliable.
I've never stood anyone up and don't plan to. |

I would never travel to a meet if there had been no communication on the day. Sometimes due to where I may be working I have no phone signal or internet, I would then say that I might not be in touch until shortly before meeting, but i would have checked in before starting off. I would wait as long as an hour, but no more. |

Same here, saying that I would have messaged via fab if I was running late or couldn't make it, I think the no communication probably means they won't turn up, if they wanted to meet they would keep in touch so you didn't leave while they were on their way |

"No one ever gets my number."
Whereas I would need a phone conversation to make sure we had a connection - and I would never accept a call from a withheld number.
I guess I just don't need to get laid badly enough.  |

Marc and I had a lovely social with someone a little while ago.
We went to the designated Costa, sat and waited. After a few minutes we sent a message on fab telling the other person where we were in the Costa.
We saw that person walk through the door....and remind us that we were supposed to be meeting at the Cafe Nero a few blocks away
Embarrassment is tough to live with sometimes....

Sorry to hear that; chin up and chalk it down to experience I guess.
I think I'd always get a contact number though once I've fooled someone into thinking I'm not a weirdo.

Ditto..."
It's not as if the op had to "turn up" as the meet was at the hotel he's staying at 
Still, he's now suited and booted, so might as well make the most of the rest of the evening 
Champions league anyone ? |

When they haven't been on line is a big give away sometimes esp if that's how you communicate. Sorry to hear |

I will travel for a meet, around london and even out of town. An hour is the longest I would wait.. In life you can be held up by this or that, but phone chat is the thing, so numbers should be exchanged before embarking...  |

Been there, got the s-shirt.
But once you've experienced sitting somewhere like a lemon, it does mean you're never tempted to do the same to someone else....(not that I'd do that anyway...lol) |

"I drove to Nottingham for a business meeting today, a round trip of 6 hours.
The guy I was meeting didn't turn up  "
Never had a no show, but Monday I was feeling shitty, dragged myself to work as a member wanted to meet me to go over his grievance case before he went on leave.
Didn't turn up or phone to apologise...so feel your pain |

Unlucky mate, sadly it's almost par for the course lately!
As the good folks have said, just chalk it up as one of those things... As someone famous once said:
Give me the courage to change things I can, the humility to accept the things I can't... and the firepower to make the difference |

I think all it takes is a couple of 1AM, 'I'm horny, are you?' messages to regret giving out your number.

Yep all of the above, that's why either they can message on here or very rarely I give my kik out now, I do have a few odd ones with my phone number thankfully they are very respectful and never message me seedy messages |

Years ago when I was a naive puppy, not to say a complete fool (Becky, you are not allowed to read this!! ) I agreed to meet a women at a hotel 50 miles or so away after exchanging no more than a couple of messages.
After sitting in the tiny lobby for a few minutes, it became rather apparent that there were more than a few shifty/sheepish looking men sitting around. One of them eventually cleared their throat and mentioned the website - no less than 8 men got up and left muttering their various curses.
I stayed for a bit to demonstrate to the reception staff that I couldn't possibly be so stupid and then sidled out, lesson learned |

Well clearly not as she obviously wasn't interested in meeting so she hasn't lost anything. Never get it when peeps say its their loss...but that's just me I guess. |

I used to be "friends" with a girl who was an operator / manager on one of the oldschool telephone chat 'n' date lines.
She used to spend half her evenings arranging shit like this ... sending guys to hospitals, carparks, handing out each others numbers and addresses and all sorts.
I'm just relieved I knew the real her rather than being one of the poor bastards she used to have a laugh with. |

Well I suppose you can say it was her loss if she was just too scared to turn up  |
