Stood up 3 hrs before our date (178)
rebel2: Then he should not have said he would then. Its called having manners, common decency.
It's called exercising your free will, I suppose you would have him pilloried for changing his mind, and me for having an opinion.

I just want to add, almost all polite and with a good manners guys are in relationship. They are not single.

MissTabc: I was supposed to go on a date tonight with a guy who seemed really nice.
I had arranged for my son to sleep at his dads house, I had booked a restaurant and was just starting to get my self ready as he texted me that he wouldn't come see me tonight.
When I texted him this: What have i done to you to deserve being dumped 3hrs before a date? He just didn't answer.
I'm so disapointed. Why do so many men just play games on dating sites and just want to hurt girls like me? He probably wasn't ever planning on meeting me and just finds these sort of games funny... I don't see the humour in it.
Are there any respectful and serious men out there because I really loose hope. It's so stupid and easy playing games like this. What's wrong with these people!?

Im sorry to hear this has happened to you. From his second text it seems dinner and company wasnt what he wanted !! His loss! All you can do now is mark it up to experience and just delete him!
Take no notice of the negative comments here either. Your reaction in my opinion was normal. Iyou deserve respect! ! I wish you the best of luck in your search!!

He exercised his free will when he made the arrangements. No one forced him to make the date, but having done so he should have made the date. If he had changed his mind, inform the young lady by speaking to her on the phone, more than 3 hours before. People are the first to moan when a tradesman says he is going to be at there house one day, and they make arrangements, take a day off or whatever, and they don't turn up, or ring 3 hours before and say "its to far".
Letting people down is not about having a freedom of choice, its about having bad manners.

That is a most heuristic statement, it is your opinion and we don't know if it's true or not, if you say"I prefer polite good mannered guys" that would make more sense.

No buts
There are plenty of respectful and courteous single men (you know you are one of them
) and I think those attributes go a long way, not only in relation to dating but in everyday life ------ This thread is Archived ------

So the rest of us, single men and women, we are second class.

I understand psychopaths are the epitome of politeness while they shaft you

You're right, his actions were less than gentlemanly, and I guess my experience in having men behave in a similar or worse fashion has made me accustomed to it to a point where I'm less critical. Heck, I've been literally left waiting at a restaurant for a date that never made an appearance so a text 3 hours before to cancel does seem a step up from that, albeit a cowardly thing to do.
Most definitely, the OP has received condemnation which she does not deserve and I hope she has not been further hurt by it.
Thank you, Rebel, for setting the standard we as women should expect, and men should follow.
