Some of us have been seeking online for a while now. We know there are people that use these sites to play with peoples emotions. Happens in the real world as well, but here is a little harder to tell sometimes.
How often have you spend a fair amount of time talking to someone, getting to know them, then decide to meet in person, only to have them not show up at all or call it off for some lame reason you know is a lie?

This has happened to me a time or two. The first time didn't bother me too much but the second one kind of stung a bit. I was hurt and I was angry and it made me feel pretty lonely for awhile. So far it hasn't changed my attitude. I still take people at face value. That's all I Can do. I refuse to compare each one to someone that played me. I'd hate for my Mr Right to give up on me because I did not believe in him.

Sorry Chucky, But have you considered maybe if she was a "no show", she might not have been truthful with you in many of the things you talked about together?
I think "maybe" you came out on top with this gal...meeting her, could have meant more games and in the end heartache for you!
Don't give up, most people aren't this way, or at least I would like to believe this....

Lynn, this is a common thing on the dating sites. While it has happened to me in the past and, more then likey, will again, I was not talking about one in particularly.
I was just wondering how other dealt with it. These people are dishonest and not trueful. Many times they portray themselves as someone they are not for whatever reason. Then when it comes to a meeting, they will go right up to the last minute and then back out, disappear or just not show up.
Some times it is funny, other times it is hurtful to people. This is just a discussion on how people handle it.

I have an opinion, imagine that. I think many people are so lacking in self esteem yet needing interaction that theychat talk etc but feel they wont be accepted for who they are and panic. I have known many people with low self esteem want desperately to do many different things yet completely sabotage themselves at the last minute.
I wouldnt take it personal if they flaked, maybe a lil sympathy for those truly afraid of the world yet needing it very much.
Ya I know I preach and philosophize too much.
cant seem to rein it in lately.
