A lot of people who stretch it out that long are seeing a bunch of people, and you're one of the options they're keeping in their reserve.
If someone isn't interested enough to meet up in the relatively near future, odds are, you're on their B-team.
That's the problem. Once you realize you've been B-listed, time to bail out. If more people did this, it would make things more difficult for Players. They would have fewer people to string along. They'd be taking more a risk if they even tried it with someone.
Also, people often say "I met someone online" when what they're doing is texting and emailing - which doesn't amount to squat. They haven't actually met in person and most likely never will.
AND
Married and attached people like to play around oniine. They say they're too busy right now to meet.
As far as single people who play the ""busy" card...Well if you're THAT busy you don't have time to date/be in a real relationship.
I would do it in order to vet someone. If will throw things out at them and see how they bite.
I usually stand men up once or twice in the first few meetings. I usually ALWAYS stand a man up the first meeting, I have a super emergency of course, I give about a 24 hour notice. Just to see if he throws a tantrum, or is cool about it, or doesn't care at all.
How rude.
Generally if someone canceled a first meet with me on short notice, they didn't get another chance. Not because I am throwing a tantrum or don't care, but because I expect respect and consideration.
I guess I am old school. If I say I am going to be there, I am there, and I expect the same courtesy.
This testing garbage just sounds horribly manipulative and shady.

Agree.
And btw Allison, calling with an excuse is not standing g someone up.
Standing someone up is not showing up and not calling. Any man/woman who puts up with that is a dope.
I always wanted to chat with them for awhile before meeting, it helped weed them out. But long term? No.
I guess for some it is all the intimacy they can handle?

That sounds like playing games to me. Have some more consideration for other people.
If someone stood me up for a first date or cancelled last minute, I would never speak to him again. And that's not a temper tantrum, it's me showing respect for myself.
Easy. During texting if a man or woman says something that's a dealbreaker you can just next them aka cut off communication. There's no time lost and avoids confrontation.

WTH? Oh no! No man with any self respect would put up with that.
After the first stand up I'd have been deleted your number and moved on.
they have no further interest with you than what you have to offer them now.
There are way too many specific sceneros to write that fit this role.
