    I am on an online dating app and a guy messaged me and pursued me for two weeks to meet up in person which should be today. He even texted me an hour ago that he was looking forward to see me. Then, after 45 minutes, he cancelled for the reason that he is getting back to his ex to give it a try.

    I didn’t react but blocked him on my phone, on social media and on the dating app we are both in.

    His profile is very legit and he is an executive leader of a government organization with two masters in community service. Kinda odd for him to cancel me out just like that.

    UGH. You dodged such a bullet!!!

    I made a rule for myself in online dating that if you flake on me before we even meet, I’m done talking to you. There was one time the guy seemed to give me an excuse that deserved a reschedule and, big nope. I should have stuck with my gut and my rule. We had a nice first date, and then he did the same thing again and totally flaked before the second date.

    Just because someone is professionally successful doesn’t mean their personal lives and relationship skills aren’t a mess. I’m sorry this happened, and don’t give him another minute of your time. It’s him not you. Good job on cutting him off!

    It is hard to trust you communicate or date from online dating app. They play games that women never do. This guy is not even cute and I thought if I date an ok guy, it could be worth my time. I felt disappointed but he got my revenge right away-cut him off without texting him back.

    You dodged a bullet. Legit profile or not, he showed you his character and that he isn’t over his ex. Be proud of yourself for how you reacted.

    I got stood up this weekend with no communication whatsoever. Then today he sent me a message like nothing happened then a bunch of messages with excuses, half ass apologies and then he tried to twist it so it was my fault that I got stood up because he got busy and couldn’t communicate. Some people show their true colors right away. Be grateful for that. It weeds out the time wasters.

    Gawd I hate the apps!! I’ve had more men than I can count either pursue me before meeting, then flake, or literally take me out, it goes well, they text me AFTER asking me out again, then never follow through. It’s just obnoxious. And you’ll hear from others, and even from me in the past, that women shouldn’t be invested early, that we need to be light hearted about it all, and knowing a man’s character takes months (if not years), and this is all TRUE! But damn if it’s not all exhausting. And it was near impossible to meet men in real life before the pandemic (depending on where you lived), now it’s literally almost not an option. So the thing I can say is – take deep breaths, have a laugh as much as you can about the silly ones, remind yourself to be grateful you didn’t meet up with an attractive, accomplished gentleman who was using you to stroke his own ego because he was all-the-while secretly still hung up on his ex. And get used to stillness and lack. Knowing you have everything you need inside you anyway, and when a (good) man comes along it will be a bonus.

    @Gaia – what a twat that guy tried to blame you for his bad behavior! So glad you’re not having it!
