"Nope, you are right. It is not going to happen. Crap!! that's what I figured...." Don't waste investing your time in someone who does not investing yours. If he doesn't have the decency to, at least, text you to tell you that something came up... Then move on | |||

"I'm due to be meeting someone for the first time this evening. It's taken a couple of weeks to get our diaries together but the conversation has been regular & interesting. Until Thursday when he's gone silent, the last 2 messages on kik are showing as sent not delivered & he has not been on here for 2 days... I have a feeling it's not going to happen Or am I being a pessimist?" not going to happen now . dont even give him the benefit of the doubt . if hes ignoring you now he's not worth it . p.s .........i'm free though ![]() | |||

"Perhaps he wasn’t as single as you’d have liked him to be OP. Dam annoying waste of time and i feel silly that I get excited over meets when this happens. I try not to believe it’s going to happen now until it actually does. So no pre meet build up. " Single NOT single sums it up. We sat waiting in the pub for an hour for a meet who was all up for it then went quiet. Then next day.... Account deleted. Clearly he was rumbled by his Mrs. I think this stuff happens to all of us m/f single or couples. Take heart that your not the only one and that there are genuine folk out there. Just gotta find em. | |||

"Here we go again. What is going on !!! Loads of blokes on here moaning they can’t get messsges read let alone meets. Loads of blokes, women and couples being let down, the above being quite typical. Aaaaaaarrrggggghhhhhhh ![]() What's going on? The answer is simple. It's too easy for timewasters to join Fab and ruin it for all the genuine swingers. The amount of posts about letdowns show the problem has become serious. It might even end up destroying Fab as genuine swingers migrate away to other sites leaving Fab as a community of timewasters. We'll almost defintely see out this current subscription, but there's a big question mark over whether we re-subscribe. Plus we've made all but one pic public (we used to have quite a few). I've said it before, the fly-by-night timewasters need to be deterred. They should only have access to site functionality if they fully subscribe with photo validation etc. It obviously won't deter them all, but as it stands it's too easy for them and they're spoiling the experience. | |||

"perhaps his mrs has booked a surprise weekend away with the kids " And that folks is the odds on favourite. This site (and others) is full of married men arranging meets in the hope that they can sneak away from the Mrs for a few hours. When the excuse falls flat, or he thinks about the consequences, or the Mrs has other ideas he disappears. Stick to meeting in clubs, at least if you get a no show it doesn't spoil the night. That is what we do and it works fine. ![]() | |||

"Unfortunately it's what the site has become, verified, non verified we don't think it makes much difference, we have changed how we play very recently and it's just as frustrating, it's a good job we enjoy clubs.x" We mainly meet males and decided to change our approach. We had always been proactive search wise and experienced the let downs. We changed to looking for newbies before they had become disillusioned with fab life ie, weeks, months of no meets or messages. WE thought that maybe they had simply came to the conclusion that they were going to be stood up so didn't bother on the day. Their natural nerves plus the negative opinion they must have developed over time of getting nowhere must be affecting them. It worked, the first two turned up, some let us down, but on the whole things improved. Their initial excitement helped them overcome their nerves ? BTW lads, we only meet with those we messaged ![]() | |||

"With the demise of Craigslists adults section things will only get worse. ![]() ![]() I used to use CL back in the day and I got some good meets from it. If someone goes quiet I'd give them 24 hours grace then bin and move on. It's annoying but not the end of the world. Making this a paid site won't stop time wasters and fantasists. There have still been pockets of these on any paid sites I've used. I think it would be more effective to have a "cooling off period "(maybe a week?)between joining and being able to send messages, which would cut all the Feeling Horny Friday to Monday joiners. And also if you leave the site you are unable to rejoin for a month/three months/whatever.That would put paid to the boomerang gang.Ooh I've left!Ooh I'm back again! Ooh f@ck off! Making everyone pay due to the behavior of a minority isn't the way forward. | |||

It can be a catch 22 The ones that are easy to talk to online may be the ones who don't do well socialising in real life. I admit I find it hard conversing online But Do better when I meet for real as it feels more natural | |||

Exchange email 3. Exchange numbers 4. Actually chat Rest is 'online banter' real or imagined. 4. ![]() | |||

"At least you had warning, going quiet a couple of days beforehand. When I arrange to meet someone I always stay in contact, even up to the hour before as I don't want my time wasted either. I'm not criticising the op, she has already said she will be fine tuning her bs, but I do think many people allow there time to be wasted. I had a similar experience to the op, several years ago with a couple from here. All was fine until two days before the meet, when they went quiet. I mailed them the day of the meet, saying that unless I heard from them I wouldn't be attending. A few hours later she messaged to say they had changed their minds and felt we weren't compatible after all. If I hadn't heard after sending a mail I wouldn't have gone. Therefore I wouldn't have wasted my time. Mainly it comes down to common sense and the op used hers." ![]() | |||

"Recently connected with a guy on here, swapped loads of messages, at least 3 a day , hubby and I booked into a hotel, he messaged/text all day. His arrival at our hotel was for 9pm. At 9.01 he became "No longer a user". Was verified as well ! 3rd time on the trot , our "meeting" didn't happen I honestly believe this site should be a paid for site, to sort the genuine ones from the wanna`b`s. " It happens on the pay for sites too, there should be a trip advisor style star rating for profiles ![]() | |||

"Always trust your gut" Yep and I've found that the more messages are sent the less chance there is of a real meet coming off. I generally exchange a few messages, agree a time/date for a meet be it social or otherwise, and ask them to contact me again the day before. I don't find it useful to chat 24/7 prior to a meet.In fact I find it a turn off. If I don't hear from someone as agreed 24 hours before a meet I presume it's off. You get to be able to spot people who are just messaging for wank material or have no intention of a real meet. Good luck! | |||

"Recently connected with a guy on here, swapped loads of messages, at least 3 a day , hubby and I booked into a hotel, he messaged/text all day. His arrival at our hotel was for 9pm. At 9.01 he became "No longer a user". Was verified as well ! 3rd time on the trot , our "meeting" didn't happen I honestly believe this site should be a paid for site, to sort the genuine ones from the wanna`b`s. " It might deter the poorer wankers and serial profile deleters, but some fantasists have money. | |||

"On another thread a suggestion was mooted , and the more I think about it , the better it seems . So here goes . When a meet is agreed between 2 parties , each party ticks a box on what we might call the meet agreed contract . So there is concrete evidence that the meet has been arranged . If either party has to cancel for a legitimate reason , there is a box to tick which they can enter a brief text saying why . This way the other party knows they are not going to show , and admin can keep tabs on how often it happens . If they don’t show up for the meet , the party that did show can obviously do as they do now , report the no show . I’m not quite sure how it could be done in such a way that it couldn’t be abused by liars though on this one . I guess if the same people are reported more than a few times by different people ? If anyone has any other good ideas to try and prevent the scourge of the people that ruin the site by arranging meets and not showing up , it would be good to hear them . Maybe then admin would put some in place , and help us enjoy the full experience of the site a little more ." Admin provide a site where adults can exchange details and meet if they want to. It's not a baby sitting service. There have been cases where some people get 'enemies' in the scene. Someone could create fake profiles, arrange multiple meets then lie and say the other never turned up. The person would be banned when they had done nothing wrong. | |||

If someone is only talking about what they want to do (to you) when you meet and you respond in kind then the chances are it is someone just having their jollies. If, however the conversation is general, maybe 'looking forward to xday' as mine would be or 'are you still ok for xday?' then you are giving nothing that someone could wank to. If you continue in a vein akin to a porn phone chat then the likelihood is you are giving them what they want before you meet. Again common sense, surely. | |||

"I'm due to be meeting someone for the first time this evening. It's taken a couple of weeks to get our diaries together but the conversation has been regular & interesting. Until Thursday when he's gone silent, the last 2 messages on kik are showing as sent not delivered & he has not been on here for 2 days... I have a feeling it's not going to happen Or am I being a pessimist?" he's married | |||

" I fully agree that they don’t provide a babysitting service . We arrange that , at a considerable cost I might add . I can asure you that there’s nothing more annoying than having found a suitable sitter and formed out for it , for someone to simply not show up for an arranged meet . And it’s not just that , it’s the fact that you are sat around feeling like a Billy no mates in many cases . We are lucky as we have each other , but what about the singles who get let down ? Moving on to those who may have made enemies . That’s always going to be a possibility , and I don’t know how that could be 100% eradicated , but t be fair it could be done now couldn’t it ? | |||

"I’ve been here 8 months, the first seven went really well, but just recently I’ve been let down several times at the last minute. I’ve also had long message conversations with god knows how many men who just vanish, after telling me how keen they are to meet! Old timers here tell me that this happen from time to time, so I’ll grin and bear it, but it is really annoying. Seems this happens to all of us here not just ladies ![]() Yep, definitely! They'd turn up if they knew how fabulous you are! ![]() | |||

"Unless this site changes its policy on subscriptions it will get worse I think. ![]() Won't make any difference. People are happy to pay to fuck other people around. It was the same when I tried subscription dating sites and it's not gender specific....Plenty of ladies fail to appear. Hazard of the pastime.. | |||

I see this type of message either in forums or in status’ all to often and it really annoys me when there are guys on here who are struggling to even get there messages read to even get to the point of arranging a meet, and yes I’m included, but I’ll keep plodding along, law of averages says one will come along soon enough ![]() | |||
