Hi all I’m just looking for some feedback please if possible,

I was meant to have a social meeting this morning, chatting to a lady the past week, exchanged photos and things going pretty well,so we had a meet planned for this morning, chatting all evening yesterday, so I showed up this morning so after no sign of her showing up I decided to message to see was there a problem and then I discovered that I was blocked. I fully understand that people are under no obligations to meet but surely the person that your meeting deserves the respect to say that your no longer interested in meeting rather than been ghosted, I travelled nearly an hour this morning , and this is the second time this had happened in the past month unfortunately

Would this be a common occurrence?

That's a shitty thing to do. It happens unfortunately. It lacks class. Whatever the reason for cancelling, people must at the very minimum give an apology or even better text you before you travel. It doesn't matter what gender, it's to do with decency and respect.

You need to change the way you organise meets if it's happened to you twice now

Are the profiles verified

Are the photos real...have you checked them

Did you talk to them first

Did you message this morning before you set out

Was it just coffee meets you had organised

Unfortunately it looks as if men caught you out for a laugh

No both these people were women, and well verified that’s why I wasn’t expecting this to happen and yes I did message this morning

If they had verifications then that is a mean and nasty thing to have happened and is certainly not in what would be considered to be in the spirit of how genuine fabbers behave.

I have had a few "evening before" meet cancellations, which is anyone's prerogative, but it is unforgivable to put someone to the bother of travelling on the day only to be ghosted and blocked.

You have the option of reporting the profile on the basis of; "Arranged to meet, did not turn up"

You can also move forward knowing you are a better person than they will ever be.

Happy Christmas OP and best of luck on your fab journey in 2025.

Totally agree with Badger. It was a really nasty thing to do to anyone especially after messaging before you set off. It is her loss not yours.

Manners cost nothing

Happy Christmas xx

Shitty thing to do.

Really bad form to block, instead of cancelling. Her poor communication skills. This is a reflection of her mental health.

I think a phone call or telegram call is good before a long distance meet and greet, get the measure of people. But also be prepared for it to be a waste of time, that's the danger of online introduction sites, can't guarantee a physical spark in advance. Often people are just bored, killing time.

Chalk it down to experience.

That’s wild bad of her. But I do wonder if you said something in the few last texts to cause her to back out. I’d a meeting arranged a few months ago with a lady. Getting on really well until I mentioned I my idea date would be eating a pizza or fish supper in a park. That ended that date. But she didn’t block me. I don’t do fancy restaurants so we definitely weren’t going to hit it off.

My phone won't let me access Fab on mobile data, and yes I already got the parental controls removed (had to phone Vodafone) but it has appeared back on again. So this makes it tricky to give live updates on my progress if I'm late or the car breaks down or something happens.

So I'd give a little leeway because things happen. However this is a total block so yeah, that's a shitty thing to do.

Pizza or battered sausage chips, in the park, sounds OK to me, yum

We're you up front and honest with her? It's a shitty thing to do however I will admit to having done it for one particular reason and one only - if I have had a great conversations with someone and all is going well - I have asked about their marital/relationship status with a view to making sure they are single or at least on with permission. If I then find out that they were lying (lads ladies talk so this will get found out, Ireland is too small?) then I don't feel they deserve anything more than a block. I don't engage once I have found out they lied as it's only bringing on toxic behaviour.

OP in no way saying you are attached - I don't know you, nor have we ever had a conversation or met you so this is purely as requested- a woman's perspective and even with that not all women but just purely my own.

Hope you find your answers to a different experience in the future.

Thanks for your reply, I’m single and if I wasn’t I wouldn’t be here, the chat was great and everything was going great till she was late so I decided to message and then I realised that I was blocked, just I wasted a morning but I suppose these things happen unfortunately be it not too often

It's brutal - I know a few guys it's happened to and it's really unfair given the level of abuse single guys get on Fab. There are bad eggs but every guy suffers the consequences where as many women get away with absolute murder when they do the same thing.

Bad form on any person standing another person up. Manners cost nothing, especially if you have to travel to meet up.

If I agree to a social id always offer to meet halfway, feel that's fair.

The rubbish took itself out.

Despicable behaviour. As mentioned above, the thrash definitely took itself out and saved you in the long run.

Happened me once too, back in the early days. Not nice.

Now I simply say to anyone I'm chatting sure if you're passing through Athlone anytime soon give me a shout. Personally I wouldn't dream of driving an hour anymore because of that experience.

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas, and hopefully you'll manage a nice social or 2 over the holidays.

The exact same thing happened to me very recently. When I arrived at the café I went to send a message to say I was there only to find I was blocked. All was good that afternoon for the meet. I disnt have as far to travel but a simple ‘not going to make it’ message would have done.
