Wouldn't it be nice if we could name and shame. But that isn't gunna happen for any number of reasons. Sure would make life easier for the rest of us though.

Well its like this (i imagine) A/ They chicken out when it dawns on them that they have to get out from behind the safety of their keyboard and monitor and stump up to actually meet another human/s.....scary stuff for some no doubt.B/ They have lied through their teeth and don't resemble their profile one little bit, and of course will be found out and yelled at and abused and sent packing.Bi/ They can't get away because they have lied about their relationship status, and can't come up with a plausible excuse to cover their absence away from home.C/ They are just here for some gentle stroking of their ego, and never had any intention of ever turning up.D/ They are cruel people who get a kick out of messing with other people.E/ As they stepped out onto the road They didn't see the bus, and didn't hear it because they had there bloody earphones in and ipod on.....dumb fuckers....lolCheers Nev

and gave me the inspiration for the title. Just in case everyone thinks i have lost the plot more than usual, its from a Rowan Atkinson skit, called Tom, Dick and Harry.Cheers Nev

Sometimes life does get in the way. For example a few weeks ago I was meant to be meeting this couple but could not make it because my husband had hit a kangaroo over the weekend and his car was at the smash repairers, it was meant to be ready by Tuesday which was the night I had organised to meet them after work but on Tuesday afternoon the repairers called and said it would not be ready until Wednesday. So I had to go pick up my husband instead, I send them a message through here but alas they did not get it until they got home from what they thought was me standing them up..... anyway I rescheduled the meeting and then was left waiting - i have an iphone so I checked but no message when I saw they were online I send them a message and they replied saying that they thought I would just stand them up again so they did not bother to come. They were close by so they came anyway but then ending up getting stuck in bad traffic. So sometimes life can get in the way. Or they could have a bad feeling about things and not turn up -- I had that once and from the abuse I got from the guy my instinct was right.

Why do people not turn up? Why are people rude? Why don't people reply to polite, well written messages? Why do people stereotype? Why do people flirt or message only to never be heard from again? Why do people scam others? Answer is easy... Some people suck.

Howabout you are spot on darl. Much more fun to had meeting up instead of sitting at home wondering. You never never know if you never never go. I guess it just takes all types to make this world go round.

We have in over 10 years never been stood up on a couples date..everyone has showed. Single guys showing up for a party is another story...some are dreamers & the reality of it all is probaly much scarier than the fantasy, others are just slack or inconsiderate. They don't seem to care that you have gone to some effort to get something organised, or spent money on a room etc. Very RARELY will they get a second chance, unless they have a very good & "believable" excuse.

I've cancelled on the day when I've meant to meet someone however for whatever reason just didn't feel like it, however I've cancelled and not just not shown up. The closest I've had to a no show was on the way to meet someone and I messaged to say I was running late and he told me he was "sick" and couldn't come out. I just take these things in stride, it's no skin off my nose, I've never even met them before and it meant I go to go to a Eurovision party at a mates place which was loads of fun.

I was stood up once and felt very let down and bitter. She texted me the next day to tell me that her cat had been run over and killed, which sounded like a good excuse, but I wasn't totally convinced. We rescheduled and met for a drink - she apologised, then burst into tears. I felt like a real shit for all the stupid thoughts that I'd had about whether she was telling the truth, etc. We might not be able to control what others do to us, but we need to be proud of the way we treat other people. People who mistreat us drop out of the picture, but we wake up with ourselves every morning.

Quoting 'SWEETIEPIE2010' I haven't actually have someone not show for a one on one date but you're asking a lot it seems to get them to show up if i host a party for them. My birthday was amazing, only had a couple no shows and no word and i have since blocked them but a couple of other things i've done i've had a whole heap of people just not show and not say anything. I won't bother again. Now i just stick to our regular play friends who are reliable. And rugged is right, some people just suck............well actually all human beings suck to some degree, we're all imperfect ....let the perfect, unfaulted ones who area ALWAYS considerate and thoughful stand up and we'll all cheer. Any fault you can name i've probably taken a crack at it, some i specialise in in fact :) I'm sorry you've been stood up though Orbitron, it's never nice when someone treats you poorly :( Kisses it all better Mrs S xx Ahhhh SWEETIEPIE.... as you know....organising an event is fraught with danger! I have learned to have it somewhere that it really doesnt matter who turns up... and to make sure I invite my core group... coz if noone else shows.... we know how to still have an awesome time. You remember that bbq i had... over 150 peeps said they were coming... how many showed?? about 30 hey?? But we still had a great time with the awesome peeps that showed. Most peeps are full of shit. JMO... BJ xxx Oh..i recently had a guy ditch me at the last minute...he was meant to come to Ci with a gf and i....but chose to go drinking with his mate instead. I dont think I would have heard from him except for the fact that i text him and told him what time he could come over to mine before we left. Silly man. So I got in contact with a sexy friend of mine...and HE got to enjoy a very hot FFM threesome with myself and my girlfriend. Needless to say....the other guy was kicking himself. LOL!!
