When you think you've been messed about and had your time wasted. Why do people back out of meets without telling you?

Family emergency, their own health emergency, broken phone, cold feet but feel embarrassed to message, a man on the other end wanking at the possibility of meeting somebody, life.

I don’t understand it. Fab has made me pretty complacent, but I’d never start messing people around like that. It takes seconds to let them know you’ve changed your mind. No excuses for it.

"Family emergency, their own health emergency, broken phone, cold feet but feel embarrassed to message, a man on the other end wanking at the possibility of meeting somebody, life. "

But this was a couple that reached out to me. They were reluctant to give an exact address in case I was gonna stand them up. And they even made a post asking for people that aren't going to mess them about.

We left it with me saying I would message then at around half 5 to get the exact address but they haven't been online for over an hour. So I'm not setting off till I get an exact address as I'm not traveling with no destination

Exactly. Even if they've had someone else pop up and they've sorted something with them. A simple cancel wouldn't go q miss. They don't have to say they've found someone else. Just that they're gonna have to cancel tonight

I've agreed to meet and then the person got a bit creepy on messages in the lead up so I decided to back out.

I know it's frustrating but anyone can back out at any time for any reason.

If he was messaging them around 17:30 today, I would say this is being blown out of all proportion.

I think anyone on here who has been actively meeting has a story of a no show or being ghosted. Unfortunately shit happens. Just block them and move on.

It is only 15 minutes after said time. And it was "around half 5". You were going to message them, they didn't need to reply at half 5. If they've got kids then no doubt they'll be doing dinner, tidying, organising for the next day, baths and bedtime. Possibly unexpected company. Was it to definitely meet tonight?

Relax I know it’s hard, I’ve been there. But seriously you could spend the next couple of hours waiting for a reply to not get one.

The best thing to do is carry on your evening as you would usually.

If they reply and want to meet and you still want to, then go for it…

If they don’t it’s just one of those things unfortunately. Block and move on if not.

Like others have said above they might have had some kind of disaster…

It’s not a pleasant feeling I know and understand

Sorry to hear this OP. It's absolutely awful that people mess others around. The least people can be is upfront and honest and message to say they've changed their minds. I appreciate that sometimes emergencies happen but on the whole people just change their mind.
