Sometimes I change my mind about wanting to meet someone.

They might say something that suddenly makes them sound like a twat, or an arrogant arse, or a psycho.

Obviously this renders arranging a meet unwise or unsafe.

People are entitled to a change of heart without being branded 'timewasters'.

"But saying thanks but no thanks is so difficult ? "

I'm always polite, but sometimes, yes.

Men often simply will not accept it and start arguing or being abusive.

Are you straight though? The reason I ask is that people on here sometimes find that no guys put straight on their profile so maybe they were really looking for a bi guy and then when they realised you weren't, decided not to meet.

Ignoring people is often the simplest way to end the conversation, esp for those like us who find that saying thanks but no longer interested leads to abuse.

One can but why wait to be abused. We get abuse when single men who clearly haven't read our profile, as they address me - stevie get asked to read it and come back if still interested.

I read this tiresome argument so many times on here that "the bad guys ruin it for good guys like me"

It's utter hogwash.

You make your own way here. Nobody else is to blame for your failure.

Couples and women don't reply for good reason, and if that happens you move on...after all they were only going to say no, so you'd have been no better off...

I'd like to think I am not an idiot either.

But how does a single female or a couple know that you or I aren't? Just because you say you aren't? Don't you think the 'idiots' say exactly the same thing?

Imagine if you got to meet them, played and THEN they ignored you! If you feel that THEY were being rude (maybe because they are) then count it as a near miss for YOU!

Hope that helps...

Well, as someone pointed out earlier, maybe you said something that changed their mind, without you being aware of what it was.

Or it could have been someone leading you on for their own amusement, ...a man pretending to be a woman. That happens a LOT on here. They suddenly get bored of it and stop...

People dont like being the bad guy.. going quiet is easier and less agro. Your here 2 weeks, very early to get all upset about nothing. Just go to a club. Or ask for a webcam veri. Its a start. Dont get lazy..

Not just women, all members on here do it. I've had chats tail off, I've had men tell me they want to see me regularly yet I never hear from them after the meet, I've had men message me for a meet then ignore/delete the message I send back with dates and times I'm free.

Just get used to the fact there are a lot of bullshitters on here and you'll be a lot happier.

OP, I don't think it is women or men, you do have I believe lot of married men that are not available to meet (because their wife doesn't know) and some that are fantaisists.

I believe it is the same for women.

Then you do have couples that want people to look at them but will not go the next step although they state otherwise. Not mentioning the fake profiles.

So overall like in life, lots of people not being honest with others and themselves, but they are a lot of genuine people too.

Now this is my experience/my understanding of it.

I am not saying this is it but my perception of it.

I would say move on and don't let this affect you...

Going back to your original question, the short and unhelpful but true answer is none of us know the reason and nor do you. It is not considered 'time wasting', generally speaking, if someone talks to you for a while then goes quiet. Not all fab messages between people lead to sex. She was trying to find out more about you as a person - get some idea of your personality and character, that she couldn't get from your profile. As someone above mentioned, something along the way caused her to think you're not for her. That's not time wasting. It's not impolite to ignore on fab. The FAQ says so. Some ladies on here get, say, 100 messages a day. It's both unreasonable and and unrealistic expectation to think she will answer every single one. There is nothing you can do except improve your chances of the lady wanting to keep chatting to you and that, my young Jedi, is something no one but yourself can help you with.

But by no longer sending you messeges they are showing you that they arn't interested in you anymore.

Maybe your last messege to them made them realise that they simply don't want to meet you. Often the easiest way to deal with that is to simply stop messeging you.

OP I do this all the time, several times a day. I am NOT a time waster and I do so very much want to meet someone for no strings. I give guys the benefit of the doubt and on the rare occasion I spend some time chatting to someone I might like the look of, more often than not the conversation will either turn to dirty chat too soon (for my liking) or I detect something in the guy that sets off alarm bells. You might not like this but you've potentially put these women off by something YOU have said or done.

Don't question, analyse or blame the woman...move on and change your approach.

People change their mind. Which IMO is fair enough

I (Mrs) have chatted with many men and after a while it can become tiresome...especially if we can never find a time to meet... (It is strange how so many single men cannot meet at the weekend!).

Anyway, when I get bored with someone I have never met it is sometimes easier to stop replying to their messages (saves time and hassle).

My advice is, if they are up for a meet do not hang about...also learn to read the signs and move on.

I have found that being polite and replying to any message makes some men think you are interested in meeting them. They can become rude if you,during the conversation you state that you were just conversing and not interested in meeting.
