Have you ever cancelled a meet?

Jump to: Newest in thread

 

By (user no longer on site) OP     over a year ago

And if so what reason for?

I have for the weekend because the woman in question seems to be a bunny boiler and is constantly messaging me on telegram at work, on a night waking me up and keeping me awake, and already using the terms “babe” “gorgeous” “honey”

It’s a bit much to be honest and she is stopping me from doing things on a night.

So do you think these are valid reasons?

Have you ever cancelled?

Yes. A whole plethora of reasons, sometimes we make the leap over to exchanging phone numbers and people think they don’t have to try anymore and we go back to the dreaded ‘how are you?’ 15 times a day. Or they’re wayyyy too keen. Or start telling me about kinks that turn my stomach. Or they move the goal posts ‘I know we said meet at 7, but let’s meet at 9, and only for an hour’. Plenty more.

It either works for me too, and I’m excited about meeting them, or I’m not and I don’t want anyones time to be wasted.

I have had to cancel a couple of times due to kids illness which can’t be helped.

Generally I’m pretty reliable as I hate being let down so won’t do that to others.

However I’m contemplating cancelling an arranged drink for tonight as the guy is coming across really pushy (feels like he has a total expectation we’re going to fuck) and I am not comfortable with that vibe. But if I do decide to cancel I will be honest as to why.

Yep, I cancelled on a couple a few the morning of the meet. I felt awful with a D and V bug (sorry if you are eating, reading this!) I let them know as soon as I knew I couldn't meet and we rescheduled for a week later.

Cancellations and plans change, but that isnt a deal breaker, we are all adults here and sometimes life gets in the way!

Yes cancelled when the chat became argumentative (I'd disagree with something and their response was a red flag).

I giggled when you said she was calling you babe and gorgeous. You realise a lot of guys do that to women from the first message?

Reply privately, Reply in forum +quote or View forums list

 

By (user no longer on site)  over a year ago

Could be she is innocently misinterpreting signs.... or could be she's very bubbly with no sense of time or social sense of when to be messaging. Like perhaps she is neuro-divergent, that's not crazy just a bit different.

Could be....she's a strong personality doing the running and you prefer to do the chasing?

Those names aren't a red flag tbh, like someone said guys use them all the time casually. If they had a petname for you I'd be concerned maybe as thar would scream attachment.

Lots of possibilities is the bottom line, but I know I'd never appreciate having this situation aired out on a forum thread. Not cool.

Yes.

I was feeling frisky, found an attractive guy online and told him the hotel I was at. And then got too d*unk to cope with nerves. I was throwing up at the thought of a strangers cock cumming all over me so I cancelled.

I think he was disappointed.

And you know what? Sometimes you just get a sense of unease about somebody during chats prior to the meet and if I have this sense of unease, I will cancel but not ghost.

Often, when they come back aggressively it tells me that my gut feeling was right in the first place.

Yes! When I met someone recently they changed the details so suddenly that I didn't keep up. And I wish I'd chatted longer, as I usually do.

Anyone messaging me after 10pm or before 9am pisses me right off. I've dumped long time friends for this reason.

What you described is absolutely a valid reason, I’ve had exactly the same scenario but with a guy, had to block his number in the end.

Sadly yes but we always try to give as much notice as possible and immediately offer a reschedule date.

The real difficulty comes where you are on the fence about whether to cancel due to odd behaviour in the immediate run up to the meet. We hate the idea of cancelling last minute, but are also really uneasy about the vibe being right at this point

Just curious, why is she stopping you from doing things? Surely it's your choice if you reply or engage? Do you not put your phone on silent when you go to sleep?

If I cancel a meet it would be because of my 'hidden illness' or mother nature. Or a another very understandable reason. I don't remember doing so but I'm sure I have. I have had meets cancelled by others though. Usually work or double booking themselves are the reasons given.

I guess I should have felt sorry for the guy she verified a week later!

Did she message back to rearrange. No she didn’t. Lol.

Oh and the lady that canceled a couple of weeks ago “because she had covid”. Still waiting for her to rearrange. The third time she has cried off. Lol.

Have you read some of the reasons why people cancelled? They don't seem flaky.

Lol life isn’t predictable! And Fab is a nice side thing for most people not their entire life.

Yes I’ve cancelled meeting people for so many reasons. Everything from “just can’t be arsed” to going off people while messaging, to serious real life stuff.

So you wouldn’t cancel if you’d had an accident and were in hospital?!! Honestly, life isn’t always black and white is it?

I once cancelled as I came on my period early .... sometimes these things can be hard to judge.

Anyhow we rearranged and all was well.

If it doesn't feel right then cancelling with warning is your perogative.

Your cynicism may be justified But sometimes stuff genuinely does happen and it’s not reasonable to tar everyone with the same brush in my opinion.

I don’t need a disaster. If I don’t want to then I’m going to cancel. Is there an expectation that if I say yes I then can’t say no?

Yes i did tonight.

Prev social meet, a spark. Meet arranged. Turned into a monitoring operation from him. Are you back home yet. Can you get this and that (not giving details here).

I felt under pressure.

Cancelled. Nicely. Abuse in response.

Always, always listen to that gut feeling.

Yes I've cancelled before. I don't owe anyone anything on here, nor do they owe me. I do give notice though, I wouldn't just fail to turn up.

The poor guy must of thought I was messing him around. I was sending him pictures to show I was at workand would be finishing soon

We had a great meet in the end

Just once. They wanted pictures of the inside of my house so they could check it was clean and tidy and that all my clothes were put away .

When I told them I was cancelling they said 'kind of ya' sarcastically, like I should meet them anyway out of the kindness of my heart. I've just had a look at the WhatsApp messages from them actually and they're even worse than I remembered, so many red flags, I'm glad I didn't meet them.

I don't consider having a coffee or a drink a big commitment.
