We also have been stood up by guys over the years. We always meet for a drink first before any play and they know this. What we do now is once we get a phone number from them and have organised a time/place to meet, we send them a text about lunch time of the day we are meeting for them to confirm. If we don't hear back, we don't go.
This isn't a fool-proof plan as we did this with one guy and he confirmed. We went to the pub we were meeting him, about 10 mins before the arranged time he messaged us to say he was in a car accident and would be running about 20 mins late. My hubby & I got ourselves a meal and waited, and waited, and waited. As we were just finishing our meal we saw him walk in and go behind some pokie machines. While I was sending him a text asking if he was going to be much longer, my hubby walked around to where he was sitting and read the text over his shoulder as he received it.
If we get stood up after confirmation from the guy, we now look at it that my hubby and I went out for a nice meal and didn't have to worry about doing the dishes ;)
Hi...We have been stood up a few times but normaly before we leave which does not realy bother us as we do accept some people are nervous and are reluctant to take the next step...There does seem to be a lot of guys pretending to be couples but there is not much that can be done about it and you take the good with the bad...we have only met up with 1 person from this site and it was enjoyable and our first time so we have experienced the good and the bad...There is nothing wrong with people who only want to look but they should let it be known from the start and at least you do know were you stand with them...keep looking you will find the right couple it sometimes just takes time...it may even be us...
mmmmmmmm gets frustraiting eh
