"Of course. I can't think why you wouldn't? " Because the reason isn't really anyone's business. Nobody is entitled to an explanation as to why. | |||

"Of course. I can't think why you wouldn't? Because the reason isn't really anyone's business. Nobody is entitled to an explanation as to why. " I disagree. I have, at the very least, put aside some time. If it's last minute, I may have spent over an hour getting ready and you cancel? It happens but yes I want a reason. If you just said sorry can't make it, I wouldn't give you a second chance. So at least give me the chance to access the reason. | |||

"While no reason is needed it is polite….. As is calling if I am going to be late… And opening the door for a lady…. Etc" A true gent opens a door for anyone | |||

Which is my point. You may have spent a month getting ready, you are still not entitled to a reason and knowing of my business, regardless of second chance or not. As I said further up I do give a reason because I feel it offers some respect, but as to why somebody wouldn't, it really isn't anyone else's business as to why I'd be unable to attend. Nobody owes you anything. When it comes down to it, the majority of people play fast and loose with what is considered polite and respectful based upon what suits them at the time. | |||

"If you want a second chance then I'd be looking for some kinda reason, especially if it was a last minute cancellation. " But that puts us in a place to believe them aswell doesn’t it? | |||

"Like you. I don't expect a reason. However, we become accustomed to people giving them don't we. " Yes. We have, I think. I expect to be let known. I can’t make it, rather than ghosted. But I do t expect the ins and outs of the said reason for the cancellation. Unless offered. | |||

"No I don't think you *need* to give a reason. I would probably say something like 'For personal reasons I'm unable to make it' though because people like reasons " A tad formal but fair. I mean if we'd been in a relationship for some time and were usually very open with each other. You were saying you loved me yesterday. I would be: ok bit weird, feels like a client cancelling a business meeting. | |||

"If someone cancelled with you (a social or meet) do you expect a reason, or do you think they should give you one? I’m fine with someone telling me they can’t make it, and I don’t ask why. I think I like to give them some privacy, it might be none of my business But it does make me wonder, do I give an impression of not caring or that I wanted to call it off myself and they made it easy for me. .. Should we give reasons? " I don't expect one. If I ever have to cancel I'd offer a reason. Although the trouble is, regardless of how genuine it was, there's a possibility it wouldn't be believed. | |||

Should we give reasons? " I don't need one but if I get one what they say might influence whether I give them a second chance especially if very short notice. If the reason is car breakdown then game over It's amazing on Fab. People seem to have much more car problems than the general population | |||

"Isn't it just a common curtesy- I'm sure at this level of communication I'd give one A bare minimum of openness should be expected- especially if a second meet is wanted" The courtesy of letting someone know they can't make it is enough. No one should have to tell a 'meet' that they have just developed bacterial vaginosis.... Maybe they should like and say they've broken their leg ? What reasons are acceptable to people ? They let you know. That's sufficient. You don't even have to tell your boss why you are absent from work. Report the absence yes but the precise reason .... no. | |||

"Personally would see it as dam rude if someone cancelled on me and gave me no explanation don't need them to reveal personal details just an outline " Personal reasons. How much detail so people want? Let's face it, we want details so we can feel validated in our decision to accept or not if it were a good enough reason for a cancellation. | |||

"last week a guy i had met asked if we could meet again. I agreed and waited for him to text me when he was there. Then to my amazement he messaged to say he was 'going elsewhere' i was ready to leave by then. However i had the last laugh as the meet was a time waster. He came back and apologised and admitted he made a mistake. He wont get another meet with me. I think this happens lots on fab,and sadly not the first time its been done to me." Glad u had the last laugh! Xx | |||

"I don't expect one but i respect someone who gives a reason more and I'm more likely to reschedule with someone that gives a reason that seems genuine. " This! I get that people can change their minds etc, but I give a reason if I have to cancel, so I do expect one from the other person/people | |||

"On a slightly different but related tact, we have twice been asked why in the last month when we have politely declined to go to a private room in a club with other couples. One accepted the 'We are looking for something different' reason and gracefully parted ways, the other was insistent and then took real offence when I said I didn't fancy his missus and Penny said she didn't find him either engaging or attractive (they really pushed for a reason). We felt rude having to give specifics but then the other half of us thought they needed to know the truth, if only they had accepted out polite decline!" Don't blame you at all for telling them you don't fancy them! How rude! (Them, not you) | |||

"Depends on how well I know the person. If it was a first coffee I wouldn't make any excuses because I feel like people have heard them all. I would simply apologise and see if we could reschedule If I knew the person well enough I would tell them what's going on." What if someone was running late because of a power outage and they couldn't shower or wash their hair | |||

"I’ve cancelled the odd time , always as soon as I know and always with an honest reason even if that’s just ‘Really sorry but I’m just not feeling it’. What’s so hard about that? It’s both personal integrity & respect to others. " Saying you're not feeling it (though it wouldn't bother me) will appear fickle to some on here, like they can't be trusted again. A lot of people would rather just say sorry and expect some respect and understanding being Fab. Re another poster, the ball probably is in that persons court now though! I've always worried about people being pressured by sheer heft of ego into doing things that on reflection they'd rather not do. Especially on Fabguys, but here too sometimes. pt | |||

Should we give reasons? " No, no reason has to be given or expected this is fab no one cares what you want or would consider good manners, good manners do not exist on Fab. It is a series of mindsets brought about by users experience on FAB. So like messages do not have to be answered neither will cancelled meets, or any other form of let down or rude treatment of others. This is what you pay a fee for. Entitlement is a two way street. | |||

"If it's last minute, I would expect a reason... And I would give one. If it was well in advance, not really necessary " I have read many guys state their messages are not read, etc. Answer do not expect no one has to expect anything, so I would say due to that and the many other reasons here on FAB that no excuse means do not have to give one. Sorry. | |||
