Ok I know this is par for the course with dating apps, but I have to say the lack of respect for people's time is appalling!
Had a guy on Wednesday ask to meet up for a drink this evening at 7:30pm, I agreed to it. He texts me a few minutes ago saying he has to take a rain check because he's getting a wisdom tooth pulled....next week! I mean as far as excuses go, this is the most ridiculous one I've ever heard. At least make up a better excuse! But more than that, I could have made other plans for this evening but now I'm stuck home on a Friday night because this dude just decided he didn't want to meet at practically the last minute. I just get so annoyed by these antics because it's not something I would ever do unless a real emergency came up. And mind you this guy seemed pretty eager to meet (then again those are always the ones that end up cancelling last minute).
I had to re-read the text a few times, to make sure I wasn't reading it incorrectly....but yup that's what he said!
lol, but you are right it is really disrespectful to cancel at the last minute.
The excuse sounds too stupid - is it possible he meant he is having pain from the tooth and has to get it pulled so he doesn't want to go out with a toothache? Course he should have been able to explain that but who knows lately with the epidemic of bad communication skills. Then again he would have asked for a rain check.
Flaking out is indeed pretty common these days. I remember talking to this chick a few years ago and making plans to get together. But when I messaged her the next day, she told me that she was drunk when she said that she would go out with me and that she had changed her mind.
Another dating failure. It's really sad that you are meeting only this sort of guys.
Perhaps you should take a break? Change dating websites? Profile?
Work on a different set of goals? Talk with professionals?
I so wish that your luck changes...
He saved you time, in actuality. When they remove themselves from consideration, it is usually a blessing in disguise.. They reveal themselves to be flakes. Just don’t let them waste your time again.
I have a real problem with unreliables. Obviously, low trust people.

For a long time, I used to feel that way about what I bolded.
But I came to realize that in a number of cases...it's not "US".
It's THEM.
And that there are just SO MANY of "THEM".
There's a lot of truth to the saying that a "good man is hard to find".
Well it is a dating app after all, and not dating apps are equal, some are just better than others. The guy probably had other girls he met from the same app, and probably decided to go with someone else at the last minute, but didn't the ball to tell you otherwise, since it was so late before your date with him.
