How does it supposed to make you feel that after several messages to and fro then a date is set up and at last minute the person(s) you set the date up with, let's you down with the most stupidest of excuses?

Please anyone explain?

It may be the type of people you are setting up dates with that may be the problem? Try verified people and more than just one verifications

I suppose it's meant to make you think they are a time-wasting prat, I would imagine. It's just another colour in the kaleidoscope that is Swinging. Don't let it worry you - just move on.

Won't feel great.

Was there any interaction other than online? Phone calls, webcam, social coffee meet - or was everything just message based?

If the latter - these occurrences are far more likely. Often due to deliberately misleading people, fantasists and those with cold feet, or who never actually had any intention of going through with a meet.

There will always be genuine reasons - as well as what you describe as flimsy ones.

But the more contact you have, preferably more than just 'virual' - the more cancellations and disappointment can be avoided.

The oonly thing you can now do is decide to right off this experience and discard the person/people that have let you down - or give them a second chance. Only you can decide - but moving on and learning from the experience is essential.

Good luck!

we were going to meet up during daytime for a coffee and a chat to see if were going to click. However it never transpired. With the other couple several messages on here then text messages via mobile and all of a sudden all contact from them stopped. No reason given.in both cases, both couple have been verified by others.

Ok - thanks.

I've always found (particularly with couples) that early contact on the phone, cam or face to face will help. It's always everyones right to change their mind - and that extra interaction allows people to get a better idea about people than just the written word. Some find it easier to back out via message/text with an excuse, rather than just being honest and admitting that they haven't clicked with you. It's sadly the nature of all contact being via site/text.

Even verified members will change their minds - often with no worries about comeback - as there's (rightly so) no 'name and shame' or 'negative feedback' system due to the fact it would be abused widely. Those with multiple, recent verifications are probably a safer bet and less likely to let you down, but even then there's no guarantee.

You could try clubs - but that's personal choice. Often a good way to meet with little expense, as couples entry fees are usually pretty reasonable. Often free socials are available and you can always arrange post club/social fun if there's no opportunity to play at the time.

You can never guarantee avoiding let downs - but you can always do as much as possible to minimise the liklehood.
