Not really being cancelled on (as we had no set plans), but when I asked him to hang out that day, he said, "Ahh...is it hot out?" and didn't wanna go out because of the weather. Yeah, glad to be rid of that loser.

This is more of the reason why they didnt turn up..

 

Didnt bother to tell me or answer the phone till 9pm at night and tell me she had been sleeping so she couldnt make it.. sleeping from 1am - 9pm...20 hours yes im sure. (She really went out drinking to a party)

 

(She is actually the girl ive been dating for the past four month)

No excuse. Just stood up. I wonder if there were cell phones then if I would have gotten the lame excuse phone call (that she had female issues in her leather pants). (I don't think it was true at all, she was just in a relationship and stupidly acted like she wasn't to give me an ego boost or something.) I don't know why this chick came to me at work and said "ask me out some time, I'll go". Then that night came and it was "I'll have to meet you there" and I knew this was going to be a fiasco. I eventually sat next to vacant seat at the concert. I could totally have taken a "no" or cancellation for an answer but I just got freaking stood up and paid for two rock concert tix (she had her ticket). I started to lose my affection for her just about then.

I usually just get the vanishing act...no lame excuses. Just vanished when it's time to make hard plans.

I guess I'm lucky cause I have never been stood up or canceled on if a date was actually set. (YET!)

 

The shy guy I dated was "relaxed" about making plans which pissed me off. He would mention a day and the day would come and go as he was probably waiting for me to call even though he said he would. There was also a guy I met when I had gone out who was always saying we were gonna do something and then wouldn't text or call as the day came and went. Also pissed me off. Again, neither of these were set plans with a time and place to go anywhere so not sure if it even counts on this thread but it was lame lol

I actuallyy had a date cancelled on me with the grandma excuse. We had made a date to meet tom but when i texted him today about plans, he got back to me two to three hours later about family and grandma issues. I don't really know whether to believe him or not; im trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Usually, the girl will just not respond to phone calls or text messages the day of the first date.

 

I've heard everything. In the four years that I've been single, since the divorce, I've heard "I wrecked my car" the day of the first date 3, maybe 4 times. In fact, I just got one of those last night.

 

I've heard "My best friend killed herself."

 

But these are only with the women who I followed up with. Usually my ego/pride kicks in and they never hear from me again.

 

One girl flaked on me over and over. She seemed REALLY into me when we met. She would flake the day of the date by not responding to text/phone calls. After the second time of this happening, I decided to delete her number and never contact her again. I was really, really sad. Then she'd start texting me again. Eventually, I'd fall for the bait and set up another date with her and the same thing would happen. We finally had sex 7 months after we met and then two more times a few months later. So it wasn't that she didn't find me attractive. I asked her several times why she did that to me and she would never answer the question. I'm convinced she had a boyfriend and she was cheating around with me. Either that, or she is an attention whore, but honestly, I'm not 100% sold on the true existence of the attention whore.

 

The first time she flaked on me, it absolutely tore me up. She really had a lot of beauty and I thought I wasn't good enough for her. Every time she would flake, she would ruin my day and possibly ruin my mood for up to an entire week. I took the rejection very hard and very personal. Now days, I've been through this so many times, with so many different women, I totally expect it to happen. If a girl gives me her number, I totally see that as completely meaningless these days. I guess you could say I've grown numb to rejection. I think my heart is numb and cold. I'm slowly becoming an emotionless being, incapable of love or trust.

"I fell asleep."

 

 

BAM. Once I got this excuse, the relationship was over. Total BS.

Exactly. That's why getting a chick's number is nothing to brag about. So many women give out their number and answer. If all the LS men participated in a thread chronicling all the flakey behavior they've experienced from women, this forum would crash from the bandwidth overload.

 

And women have the gall to ask why guys aren't sensitive to their feelings.
