Why?? I've talked to several guys on the site... They ask, and ask for that first date and finally after I feel that we know each other enough to meet they flake?? Or worse yet we have a great first date, and never get to date number two?? What is it?? Some tell me they love me and they still flake... Ugh! I've been out of the dating scene a long time, but why not go for it?? Has it really changed all that much??? Ladies please help me out...

No sex on the first date can make a lot of men think you're too much work, if they're lazy impatient f**ks. 
I've never flaked on someone though, but I have felt "meh" by date two if there wasn't fire.

Rocks has a point.
When I meet girls that come off as sweethearts, It tends to bring out the gentleman in me, and then I lose interest fast because well, that shit is boring if it's someone you barely know. The sweetheart thing only really works if you're already kinda friends.
For a new meet, men want to be excited. Maybe try acting more seductive?

All women are attracted to men that will act like this. My guess is you have a plethora of male friends that you have friend zoned and they would probably never flake on you but you won't date them. When the hell are women going to wake up? It is ok to like badboys and idiots...but don't whine about it later.

Ya know, they have a MeetUp group that does that. I thought it might be fun to try it, a lot less pressure than a real date, and an interesting idea.

Clean and a job is good but you still have to ask yourself why the men you choose to date are all losers. My guess is looks is coming way before being clean and having a job. A real good looking guy online is going to be a serial dater because good looking guys in real life do not need to go online.

Why?
Lots of reasons.
They can't live up to the image they presented.
They can't afford to date, just the fantasy.
They don't really want to date or change their life, they just wanted the fantasy for a bit.
They are insecure and can't handle scary, nerve wracking, situations.
They found someone better.
They overthought it, focusing on all their own flaws, believing that's all you will see.
They just changed their mind.
Talking to you was an escape from the stress of their life, but they had to go back and focus on their work, or school, or life, or mom, or wife, or kid.
Lots more.
They ask, and ask for that first date and finally after I feel that we know each other enough to meet they flake?
A lot of men and women come online just to get an ego boost.
One night they feel lonely and needing social validation and attention.
Then you start to talk to them.
That causes shit to be produced that makes someone feel good.
They want that to continue.
A lot of people have played too many video games and approach dating similarly.
You represent a boss level.
They play and play until they defeat you by getting you to say yes to a date.
Then they just want to go on to the next level, not restart the one with you.
Sometimes they just focus on getting you to like them, having manipulated themselves into who they need to be in order to get you to like them. But it's not really who they are, or want to be, they just feel they've "won" by getting you to pick them. They've never really considered whether or not they want you, they just wanted to feel wanted.
Sometimes they are so focused on the process of getting you to like them and accept a date they don't really pay attention to the big picture. But then they realize they just sat on the internet for a f**king year to get a date, and believe any relationship with you is pretty much going to be the same...a year of begging for an hour of fun.
worse yet we have a great first date, and never get to date number two?? What is it?
Sometimes it's not as great as you think it is, or they told you it was.
Sometimes it just doesn't work out. Or just start at the beginning of my post, it's the same reasons. People change their minds.
why not go for it?
Go for what?
Really, this question is generally answered by "people don't go through with something either because there is a lack of incentive to doing it, or the consequences of going through with it outweigh any reward."
Has it really changed all that much?
Dating hasn't changed all that much.
Online dating isn't dating.
It's not real until you are off the internet.

your height has nothing to do with being intimidating to someone. I am 4'9 when went to my 20th high school reunion I heard a lot of guys say " you are so darn cute and little but back then you were incedibly intimidating to me I could barely even say hi much less ask you out".

I am not talking about your friends, I am talking about the guys you choose to date. Everyone has a "type", so you need to sit down and think about what it was about the guys you dated that made you choose them.

I am a grumpy old man, what's your point? 'Old fashioned girl' is code for "I'm going to make you jump through all kinds of ridiculous hoops before I consider having sex with you".
You wouldn't flake on a friend? You already have. You think you're an entitled princess and believe your entitled to be pandered to.
You aren't worth it. You're far to impressed with yourself for my opinion to matter. Rude? okay. I can live with that.

Only date guys who are willing to drive to you for the first date. If he is really interested he won't mind. Let him pay for the first date. Offer to leave the tip. Never sleep with any guy on the first date. This site is more for forums. POF is better for dating. Its better to meet within a couple of weeks. Don't waste too much time on something that's going nowhere. Hope this helps.

The one guy that did that... he and I talked on and off for almost a year... I'm a patient girl, but seriously...
a whole year? I talked to a guy from a paid site once for 5 months and that was enough for me to give up. He kept promising to come see me and would come up with excuses as to why he couldn't come each time.  Some people are just on these online sites for the attention. They have no intentions of ever meeting anyone. They love their life of solitude and hiding behind a computer screen.

Full figured.
3 kids! Sure the girls are nearly grown up but does he have the money to pay for three extremely expensive weddings? Girls never get married on the cheap.
On the other hand GOOD FOR YOU for severely curtailing your dating to raise your girls!! Sounds like you made your girls your first priority and that's how it ought to be.
