I would not go out of my way to contact in anyway, but maybe, just this ONCE, if he contacted first.

Why? I just don't understand people that are willing to check their self respect at the door because someone is hot.

I do understand why you don't understand based on what you've shared on the forum. I know Dissenter has said that he's had opportunities with women he wasn't attracted to and he didn't want to pursue those opportunities. He also knows what it's like to be single for a long period of time. So for him, putting up with a little crap to to get with a woman he finds attractive might be worth it to him. Yes, that limit of how much crap to put up with may be different for everyone depending on a number of factors, but I can understand how he feels.

Maybe if I got a call in advance with apologies about an accidental scheduling conflict, but straight-up forgot and stood me up? Bye.

Hell, no. Unless there were seriously extenuating circumstances (Illness, car accident, seriously awful day at work) and some serious apologies forthcoming, then no way.

I actually had that happen to me once. But the girl had been in a wreck. She wasn't injured, but she had to take her friend, the driver, to the hospital. And, yes, I did find out that she was telling the truth.

I wouldn't be at the restaurant without confirming the day that we were meeting for dinner.

So it's kind of a hypothetical situation for me. I've had people make excuses at the last minute though after confirming plans for a date. Ultimately the result has been in hindsight that they just weren't that interested in me.

So say that's a no for me.

If they really "forgot" - screw them. If they can't be bothered to remember a DATE, they aren't worth dating.
