Blocked after been stood up
Jump to: Newest in thread
Ok I am sure we have all been there. Tonight I was sat in the pub to meet with the female of a couple, after getting all dolled up, and sitting and sitting and sitting. I message my man to check our fab messages to see if we have heard from them and blocked. Surprise! We had even checked earlier today that they were still happy to meet. So my question is how do we go about reporting this? This is not the first time this has happened. Hotels have been booked and paid for and we can't report these people because they block us first. While we are innocently waiting for them! We need so sort of fix for this unless there is and I don't know about it, please let there be one |

I've never been stood up like that but I've had a couple of experiences on a social meet. Texted to confirm a time and location that suited then rather than me.
Double checked the night before
Left work early to get there on time but no show.
First time it happened the woman said she had forgotten we were meeting despite the confirmation the night before.
Second time was worse as that particular lady was double booked and I was the lucky loser. She said she agreed to both meets to make sure she wasn't stood up.

Sorry to hear that op. Had similar myself only a month or so ago... travelled all the way to the town where the person was staying, got to the outside the hotel, exchanging messages... then bang... blocked...
As NSAChick says, go into the messages, you can report from there. Sadly, don't think you ever get to find out the outcome, but does make you feel a bit less annoyed. |

Knocks your confidence especially when it was my very first meet. |

They should at least be decent enough to admit they bottled it FFS!! |

"This is a bad but common event,but I wonder WHY people do it. I do wonder if there is a common factor that is apparent during negotiations? Usually I think they are serial offenders. "
There’s a good chance that a lot of female no shows who block without further contact are actually men. |

We only have one side of the story here. Yup this could have been a man pretending to be a woman or just someone with no intention of meeting. But it also could have been a woman that just felt like something was off and didn’t want to go.
I think we forgot that no one has to do anything they’re uncomfortable with and that, unless we have made relationships, we don’t owe each other anything.
It’s irritating but it’s not the end of the world.

There is such a thing as common decency - if we don’t owe each other that, then we are finished |

It isn’t uncommon, unfortunately.
I think some are genuine and simply get cold feet, others are probably men posing as women/couples and getting off on whatever thrill they get out of it.
Costly in time and occasionally money but we just have to move on.
Nice to know that some of us are ‘genuine’ and do actually meet when the right opportunity arises. |

You’re right. There is such a thing as common decency and I probably wouldn’t just not show up. But I have cancelled at the last minute because I simply didn’t want to go. Where we differ in opinion is that I don’t think we are purely owed it, but that we earn it too. We have no idea of the other side of this. Who knows what was said or done or what could have happened in the life of the other profile.

Here's a test ....go in cam/ chat rooms click on m/f couple cams then sit back and watch some geezer bashing his bishop for all it's worth !! If you are a single bloke FFS be up front and honest about it
I'm single genuine and struggle for meets like the rest of us singletons but I refuse to say I'm in a couple when I've been divorced for 12 years !! Rant over |

We may not be owed it I suppose, but it’s not really acceptable behaviour x |

No it’s not. My point was more that it’s not really the end of the world, and we only have one side of the story.

Sorry about the status my partner posted it whilst I was asleep this has now been taken down.
The couple in question has been reported as it has been suggested by yourselves, with thanks.
We do not usually report, we have had a spate recently and after last night of having the meet confirmed by the couple, having being instigating by the couple it was the no show that broke the camels back. Especially having being blocked for no understandable reason.

Had same experience with a guy I'd been chatting and speaking on phone with for several weeks. Hotel booked etc then he disappeared and blocked me an hour before the meet. Report to fab always, if it's a pattern they'll likely be banned. |

Unfortunately it seems to be a common occurrence.
It has happened to me a couple of times.
I've taken the time to get ready get all dolled up, only to sit and wait and then find out that I've been blocked!
And as someone quite rightly said....we have no idea who is on the other end?
What I have found out over time is that there are a lot of fake profiles and timewasters on this site.
How do you ensure you don't get caught up with them?? I wish I had an answer.
I try to do all of the right things by chatting over time and ensuring they are photo verified and have good verifications, yet it still happens.
Meanwhile... I'll just keep trying...

You can still report but you may find they report you as well. Personally its pointless though you are well rid people like that are not worth dwelling over so block and forget. |

Its a shitty thing to do,We were catfished in the early days & later have had one no show but as others have said arrange to meet in a club as you have other options to still enjoy your evening.
We still don't understand the many negative responses to Kik though. Everyone seems to complain the only ones on it are fakes & pic hunters but since it added video chat it has for use become the safest way or outing fakes & tbh those that take a "Ahem" very g9d photo. No numbers need to be exchanged, no private details.
So use it to confirm your talking to who you think you are talking to & then go from there.
Obviously if someone has many veris chances are they'll show but its still no guarantee on here they are who they say they are especially if they are old veris on couples profiles.

Why would the site take any action? It makes no sense for them to, they'd loose potential revenue.
You have to remember that you are responsible for making your arrangements and potentially being stood up and out of pocket for hotel or travel costs, etc., that's the unfortunate truth. |

As I think others have stated, people who block you can still be reported for any reason. This stops them doing hit and run attacks, blocking so they'd pay no cost for wrongdoings.
All inappropriate behaviour is right to be reported, even if uncertain - you can let admin know your uncertainty. The site depends on us all for free observation and feedback, to supplement the site tools fab has.
It's despicable what they've done op - it's unjustified, except perhaps for the personal tragic circumstances but even then, a message as well as a block would ideally be sent. |
