Nataly 38 #1 September 8, 2015 I "liked" a guy's profile on a dating site and almost immediately I got a message from him saying "What a lovely surprise! Shall we meet up for a coffee?" So I agreed to meet at lunch the following day (today). After a grand total of about 3 seconds, he looked at me and said "OK, I'm going to leave because this is *not* going to work." So he just got up and left! (By the way, the pictures on my profile show *exactly* what I really look like. No fluff, no photoshop, no makeup - nothing that could be misleading in any way shape or form. I even included some rather UN-flattering pics for good measure - because hey, some days I look like that!!!) So yep - if you are a guy and you think we women never get rejected, think again!!"There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigMikeH77 0 #5 September 8, 2015 It's quite obviously his internalised issues and has very little, if anything, to do with you. If someone bails without even enjoying some coffee and conversation, there are deeper problems in play. Everyone I've ever met on Match and OKCupid have the same problems, and I've created this wonderful little graphic to summarise my feelings about online dating.

BigMikeH77 0 #7 September 8, 2015 That guy... hahaha. I have NO idea who he is but there's a ton of dirty laundry in the background of that shot. I swear I've dated everyone on Match. I even played by all their rules and went to get my free 6 months, they refused. I broke up with Match right there on the phone. Even gave them the "This isn't working out" talk. They responded by deleting my profile, which I thought was kind of funny. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RiggerLee 61 #8 September 8, 2015 I see two obvious possibilities. The first is that it was some kind of mind game trick. If you had chased after him or contacted him it would mean that you had a week personality and he could control you. The second very real possibility is that their was some thing that he really did find objectionable. A deal killer. Example, he saw that you were a smoker. I use that as an example because I'm allergic to it. I would have pulled the cutaway handle right there. If that's the case, then at least he was straight up and honest about it from the beginning. Or maybe he spotted that you were a skydiver. Were you wearing a closing pin necklace? May be he's been burned dating a jumper before and made you. If you want to avoid things like this in the future you might want to put a disclaimer in your ad, full disclosure. Just to save time and disappointment.

riggerrob 643 #11 September 8, 2015 Reminds me of a woman I meet on Plenty of Fish. As we sipped our first coffees, she asked about past relationships. As soon as the words "I left her .." passed my lips, her shoulder muscles cramped and the date was effectively over. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BartsDaddy 7 #24 September 8, 2015 He did you a favor. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you, but from your posts and pics you deserve a better person then one that would ever do that to someone. Maners alone he should have at least sat and enjoyed your company over coffee, and then excused himself from anymore meetings. And if you want to see how a lady should be treated come to Elsinore. I will take you out and Not bale on you. LOL. Handguns are only used to fight your way to a good rifle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
