Swissblueeyes: in my opinion they are playing the game..make a list of all the women they want to meet..meet them then pick the best out of the litter then date that one for awhile or untill they score touchdown in bed, then move on and do the same thing over again..lol..forget about the tossers. life is too short to let anyone take your joy away.
For all you or anyone knows the person good have been in accident..or could be working late..there are many reasons why people do not get in touch right away or as soon as they said they would....Its wrong to automatically assume that they are players...

Maybe, but I think one or two just get carried away with the impossible then scared at the last minute. No excuse though.

I think she meant permantly didnt call..not just over a day or two...just my opinion but the movie he just not that into you plays a true ring. ever watch it? if a man is truely interested in a woman he will "call"..

Actually no she did not say permanently...

missingLondon: HI Missha

this guy asked to meet for a chat. I didn't ask. I sent him a hello text because I knew him from eons ago. e-mailed that he's very free and would text to agree on a date. said would text today and hasn't. What's the point. He could have just said hello back and not asked to meet for a chat. He came up with the idea. I'm beginning to think it's a bad idea to even mail someone a man saying hi as it goes to their head.

BTW when are you and i meeting?

True.. but I have to say that girls are also behaving just like men these days.. Wake up and smell the coffee folks you cannot all land a Davidesque supermodel.. most of you are not THAT hot either.. I realise that some attraction is necessary but on these sites it seems that it is the ONLY criterion being considered.. just my opinion..

he probably did you a favor in the fact that A. he is a arsehole and B. he spared you the embarrassment of his ignoring you after sending a message to him.
Like I said if a man is interested he "Will call"..not ten days later, not a month later but most likely within 3 days..i have a 3 day rule unless he can prove a emergency really did happen hes on my delete and ignore list..lol

AJ attraction for a woman needn't be instant. If you spend time in a woman's company and there is character compatibility or charisma someone who may not be initially attracted to you may become so. It's happened to me that with time I grew attracted to men I considered ugly. Don't give up. Most women have suffered at the hands of the Davidesque supermodels you mention. We don't all end up permanently in a relationship with one. As we mature character plays a greater role. In fact you may find you are incompatible with your supermodel boyfriend.

I don't even have a three day rule. Today means today. Worst experience on cs I had a blind date on my birthday this year and the guy stood me up and later tried to pull the wool over my eyes with some lame accident story. It was the worst birthday ever and I only salvaged it by driving to my favourite restaurant and dining alone. Manners are hard to come by these days.

missingLondon: If you're not interested in someone isn't it simpler not to ask to meet in the first place? If a man says I'll text you later today and doesn't, should you write him off? What's with the game playing when nobody put a gun to their head to ask to meet. Likewise men who immediately want to fly over to see you then you never hear from them or men who contact you and when asked for a photo disappear? Is the world full of players who can't keep their word?


I don't think the world is full of players, at least I hope not. I suspect that a lot of the time, it's just people who are perhaps trying to be polite and avoid hurting someone else's feelings. I'm with you - I would never ask to meet someone I didn't want to meet - that would be a waste of my time, not to mention theirs. However, I have said I'd call people and then didn't - it was easier than saying "I don't see this heading anywhere and you won't hear from me again." If someone doesn't call me, I get the message - I don't need any further explanation. JMO.

It'a a long way to Malta and missing the last bus home means a long swim.......................and l cannot!


Why can you not just be laid back about this and realise there are very few people here or anywhere that are 'serious'?

Unless you have been having a 'virtual thing' with them .............and you liked it so much you wanted the real thing, just write them off and be happy!

I believe in honest dealings with people. I didn't ask to meet up or be called. I only said hi. I am a self-declared recluse because I find most people annoying and dishonesty gets to me.

I have written him off but this doesn't change the fact that he was rude. Serious or not it's basic manners.

missingLondon: Hey I've played matchmaker in the past and they got married. Feel free to set me up. If I don't like the guy I won't lead him on because I'm a straightforward person.
He said he is interested so I sent you a message with info on it to try and get you two at least to chat and I'm hoping at the very least you two will become friends..hes a very sweet good guy..Normally I dont do this but its the holidays and I hate to see anyone spend it alone. good luck to you..I dont know if hes shy and maybe you might need to contact him first?
please dont hurt his feelings and at the very least send him a nice message cause i think now he is expecting some kind of mail from you, ok? ty..
