Is it ever OK to have a plan B set up for a meet?

What would your reaction be if you found out that you were someone’s second choice in a situation?

Can you or do you take steps to ensure that you’re not?

But having a plan B means that in the back of your mind you aren’t fully committed to plan A in the first place

I/we've only ever met people after getting to know them and have never once considered there would be a requirement for a Plan B.

I arranged a social with a woman a couple of years ago. I agreed to travel after work to a place of her choosing so she didn't have to cross the city twice.

She went quiet on the day of the meet but then an hour beforehand messaged to say she'd had another fab meet at lunchtime and was running late as a result so could we reschedule?

I agreed but the next morning she posted 2 new veris. One from her lunch meet and another from a guy who even name dropped the name of the coffee shop we had arranged to meet in.

She tried to convince me to meet again 6 months later but I said no because of her previous Plan B approach.

No it's not something I would do I think it's not a nice thing to do to anyone have them as your back up plan that's not fair on them.The only exception is if you have been truthful and they know from the start.

I did have it happen on here once when a guy had arranged to meet me but suddenly went quiet so I cancelled that morning I just had a feeling something else was going on .I heard nothing until half an hour before we were due to meet he asked would I still meet I declined and asked did his other meet not work out he admitted he had arranged to meet someone else and no it hadn't worked out. His plan b that day didn't work out either.

He was obviously more than happy to have let me travel to meet him and would probably have been ghosted if plan A had worked out for him.

No, because you’re being unfair to someone in that scenario.

If a meet doesn’t happen, then it’s home alone.

I wouldn't arrange for the same time, just the same day a few hours apart.

Happened recently, just met B earlier as A cancelled. Neither needed to know.

Doesn't that mean that you will be letting someone down also?

Or do you let them know up front that they are Plan B?

Never really have a plan b my plan b if a meet falls out is insta shag

and never really am a plan b meet ither as all my meets are planed as it takes about a day to get ready bween shaveing and such

Hence why my insta shag stament lot off waist prep time for a meet to fall though

Definitely let feve bang me that I wouldn’t normally meet just for the sake off not waisting prep time and instashag

We never have a plan B other than if we travel for a meet we make sure there are things for us to see/do if the meet falls through.

We would never line someone else up in case the primary meet fell through, as given what we do its not simply a case of putting my penis in a different vagina. Theres a lot of communication and prepping the scene we do that makes it challenging to swap partners at the drop of a hat.

That’s very true.

In the past, any meet that I had I always had a back up plan for something fun to do, just in case they cancelled. I didn’t see that as plan B though, just managing my expectations.

I've been stood up so many times I would have plan a's, b's & c's

This is in a last minute city centre coffee scenario though.

I've double booked people by accident before. I was honest with both of them and rescheduled the one I cancelled successfully. I guess it depends how genuinely you come across?

If this was dating, for a relationship, then I'd agree with people feeling bad about having a back up. But it's not.

I've got all the time in the world, but not the energy, so if I've made an effort and got ready, I don't want that to be wasted.

I agree. If the purpose is to have some fun does it matter if it's with person A or person B? Both might be pleasant company.

I've been plan B many times. The only issue I had, sometimes, was not knowing until the last minute. But if I didn't have a plan B in those situations, then I mentally prepared myself for a night in.

Ahhhh ok

I have a non sexual back up friend who is available as a plan B if he's not doing anything else who will come to the cinema and shopping. Also I don't plan sexual back ups but I do have a local fwb and we often send each other a faf text if a meet is cancelled

Have never needed a plan B and never will do - by the time I've arranged to meet someone I have every reason to believe they will show up and arranging a last minute replacement "just in case" would never even occur to me, and if it did wouldn't feel right.

I’m ok with it as long as it’s out in the open. You can usually sense if there’s a plan b situation so why not say.... I’m supposed to be doing something but I’d like to hook up so if it falls through and you’re still free then we can get together.

What I won’t do is pretend it’s anything different and If I get a sense of it without honesty I’m out.
