Shit happens...all too often I'm afraid....

.cancellations are just part n parcel of fab..even with genuine fabbers....

Reply privatelyReply in forumReply +quote
 

By (user no longer on site)

The problem with excuses are they may be very genuine and yet the receiver feels let down and ego can creep in wither replies or girn'n.....It doesn't help fab to have this topic as a daily post. Sometimes it's good to accept and let it be. Makes people less cynical and their fore more open to coffee meets.

Yes there are some that are not genuine...I have more sympathy for those who struggle to get a meet...can be months for some and then it doesn't happen.....some spout about 10 or 15 meets planned and only 1 turns up.....nice if you can get 15 meets then really what's the problem, there are another 20 round the corner.

The forums are becoming more a place to just gripe.

I say - always trust ur gut feeling. But real life does kick in and plans do have to get cancelled but as long as you give as much notice as possible genuine peeps do understand

But what's a coffee peeps - come on

I've never not shown up, and I've never had a no show.

I'm speechless at that... I'm very sorry to hear that and understand why some become weary....I'm a bit gobsmacked that given the chance to meet you for coffee they turn nasty.

Agree.

Judging by the regularity of some in the forums on this topic they can't move on or don't want to. It's a shame tbh as so much of the fab fun is then overlooked and lost for many members.

That's mad, why bother going to the effort only to bottle it at the last minute? If it's nerves just show up and tell the truth, that's the best thing to do I think.
