But what an horrible way that would be to find out you are NOT their priority
Yeah! To think they couldn't even bother to come up with a better excuse other than I forgot, man this date is dead in the water before it's even begun!

That's why I wouldn't meet up for the second time as it would be in back of my mind and I WOULD end up saying something......... ( and I KNOW you would to LOL )
How the hell does one forget about a date? Unless their life is a total clusterfudge, in which case maybe they shouldn't be dating, I can't imagine someone being so flaky.
Actually yes I can. My friend is that flaky, which is why I tend to confirm things the day before and the day of with her.
Did you do that? Or did you set up plans like a week before and then never get back to them?
Here's the scenario: It's Friday or Saturday, 8 p.m. You agreed to meet for dinner and send a text saying you just got there and can meet them in front. 5 minutes go by and you get a text back from them saying they forgot and can't meet tonight...but they want to reschedule.
Do you do it? Why or why not?
Absolutely not. I can't stand flaky people. They'd hear a few choice words from me, then I'd hang up and block them. Really, one has to be a consummate loser to forget about a dinner date.

Didn't confirm the day of, but I usually don't unless they contact me first or it's been more than a few days since we made plans.
You mentioned your flaky friend. A flake is really the last thing I look for in someone. So, if I need to confirm with someone the day before and the day of then they are really not for me.
On a side note this person listed they were really good at being on time in their profile lol.

Agreed! I once had a date on a Saturday that was an hour's drive away for both of us. Even though I hadn't spoken to the guy for days, we both turned up at the agreed time because that speaks to your character!
If you have to cancel, then I would still be considerate of the other person and let them know asap so they don't waste their time. I wouldn't date someone who's inconsiderate coz it's a reflection of things to come!
A guy I know once had to reschedule our first date because he was going on an impromptu vacation ... well, "rescheduling" became a habit of his. He rescheduled that first date another two or three times afterwards. Unless there are legitimate reasons as to why one is compelled to reschedule, don't give it another go because this may become a habit. It speaks volume about the course the "dynamic" is going to take.
A text? No apologies? I don't really understand how someone could forget, sounds more like something marginally more interesting walked by, but let's say I buy it that they forgot. The response should be a phone call, "oh no, I can't believe I messed up! I can be there in twenty minutes, do you mind waiting?" not a text saying I forget let's reschedule.
