FabSwingers.com forum: Stood Up?

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

Just checked into a hotel room half an hour ago and I haven't seen or heard from a lady friend who was gonna meet me here today.

I booked a room for the two of us and I said to her the check in time is 2pm and we were looking forward to meeting up around that time.

Now I don't know what is up. I haven't spoken to her since last night. I've left her a message to let her know I was on my way but she hasn't been online recently.

Have I been stood up?

Happens from time to time. Rarely a good sign when there are no comms on the day.

Chalk it down to experience and learn from it

Give her some more time but if she isn't answering you there's a good chance she won't show. If people go quiet on the day it's not usually a good sign. But I hope she turns up.

Sorry to hear that. I'd set a cut off time of allowing her to contact you. Then see if any other ladies are interested in meeting socially for a drink and then maybe fun. It's worth a try x

Good luck x

Oh OK then yes I'd say you've been stood up. A face pic and gold membership mean nothing, that could be anyone's face. It's crappy that this happened to you but hopefully you'll learn something from it.

Gold membership costs a fiver. Face pics are easy to get.

In future before paying out for a hotel I suggest you go on a social or the very least talk on the phone or have some live photos sent to you /have a webcam chat.

This is exactly why I use a well known messaging app for live pics and usually a socia meet before anything else happens. Put it down to experience and make the best of it.

Don’t take it personally, most of us have had it at some stage, it’s just one of those learning curve things. Put in place some filtering systems and you should be able to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

"best call "ghostbusters" OP you been ghosted!!!!!!

Oh damn! That is bad

OP - See how it goes today. If no show or no communication learn from it. Remember the tell tell signs so you don't repeat... e.g. you had no communication since last night. When it comes to booking hotel and you spend money you really do need to know the person well as other posters have said with possibly meeting for social first.

You mentioned "last time you book hotel for someone" please remember this is not the end... don't allow anyone to stop you from having fun or doing what you joined the site for. As long as you're genuine you will meet fellow like minded Fabbers. You can use this to become stronger or allow it to take you down a path of frustration by allowing someone to stop you from having potential future meets...

The choice is yours on how you deal with this. I personally have not been in the position that you find yourself in today, but know many people that had similar situations. Those that went forward and continued their time on here put this experience behind them as a learning curve.

All the best

Sorry this happened.

If a meet goes quiet and I've not heard from them the same day I assume the meet is off.

99 percent of the time I do a social first. If they turn up for the social you know they're a real person not an inmate of Fantasy Island.

If you use a day use hotel and things get cancelled you can cancel the room on the same day without being charged.

If in doubt ask to speak on the phone first.

Better luck next time.

I've put a word out if any ladies in the Oldham area want to meet up even if it's for a social.

I'm doing my best to not beat myself up over being stood up as when I feel down, I would have negative thoughts going through my head that would make me want to shut myself off from the world.

It's probably happened to most of us.

This is why I insist on a social first usually. At least I can enjoy a coffee or a drink on my own then if worst comes to the worst.

I also tend to stick to people that have already been verified by meeting.

You do have to have a thick skin for this lifestyle really.

I haven’t done a hotel meet in two years and that was with a friend who was at the hotel before I did.

I've been mainly going to Cupids over the past two years and had no problems meeting up with friends I made there.

A social meet isn't a waste of time for me.

If they don't turn up then up at most I've wasted 30 minutes of my day.

And had a decent coffee.

Don’t play without a social.

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater there fella. It's not the hotel meet that was the issue here.

I understand your frustration and irritation with the situation but the most important thing is to learn the important lessons from this;

Always do your due diligence, that means having a phone number or a call to verify they are 'real'.

Have a social, that way you can tell if they are who they say and to ascertain chemistry.

Make sure you hear from them on the day, even if it's just a 'hi, still on for today?'.

Don't book anything that can't be cancelled, it might mean paying a little more on the day but even the most reliable, real people cancel at times.

Have a 'plan B' in the event of being let down. Not someone else lined up, that's cruel. I mean have something else that you can do in the event of plans falling through, so you're not left sitting around.

I'm not blaming you for being caught out, it happens to everyone. Just learn for next time and chin up fella.

Tea
