Well, at least he showed up! Unlike the guy who canceled on me this past weekend on the day that we were supposed to meet (yes, I'm still upset about that! )
Anyway, I suppose you know what you're looking for, but are you sure you didn't write this guy off too fast? Sometimes people are nervous during the first meeting and not exactly themselves, so I try to go out with them at least one or two more times unless I'm absolutely sure that I'm not interested.
At least yours cancelled and saved you the trip, I have had more than the few, say they were coming and never even showed up.
Both for me actually, online and IRL. I don't mind the cancellation, but don't lie and say you are going to meet someone and not show up.
Yeah, that's definitely not cool. No one has ever stood me up (yet), but I don't appreciate the last minute cancellations either and he did it via text and was not apologetic at all.
Back on topic though, no one has ever been too "low energy" for me, but I am not exactly the life of the party myself.
Whoops sorry didn't mean to hijack the thread, but back on topic, I have had that happen to me on first dates as well. It's just for some reason, you know that in the first five minutes, it isn't going to work. I hate when I am the only one asking questions or telling stories, and she is just sitting there like she would rather be anywhere but with me. You try to get them to say something, SAY ANYTHING. Talk about your dog, Talk about the blister on your toe...SOMETHING, but they just sit there. Needless to say, no matter how good they look or how much OKCupid said we should match, I never asked them out on another date.
Doing it by text and at the last minute is the modern way. An even better way is to do like Raptor described and not even say anything at all, just don't show up.
HAHAHA! This proves that all the C-D guys insisting that women are interested in looks and money are WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you: Exhibit A.
I rest my case.
Umm, couldn't one argue that the money & looks are what got him the date in the first place? If he didn't have those, there would be no date to speak of? I'm not the OP, so I don't know, but those things sure help get your foot in the door.

We'd have to ask the OP. But she said he was interesting conversation-wise, until they met up in person. In my book, it's the interesting conversation that's what clinches the date.
Jade is my favorite OP, I just thought I'd say that. I really enjoy your thread topics, girl.

Well, I felt a little bit sorry for Jade's guy because I recently met a guy from a dating site who pretty much dismissed me after 30 minutes saying that we didn't have enough "rapport" or enough in common and personally I thought that was just an excuse because it's not like he even got to know me at all after such a short meeting.
