Why do you think he didn't show up?

I chatted with someone here and actually agreed to meet him because he didn't live far from me (against all my friends advice, I should add). I drove about two hours and went to the area where we were to meet and messaged him. He never showed up. He said he was working hard on a job and apparently didn't check his messages. He has apologized. I have a strong feeling there is more to the story about why he never showed up. Any ideas?

At the very least, he’s rude and wasted your time. So he was working hard and didn’t check his messages? Did he also forget to meet you? Were you supposed to be his alarm clock? Sorry. I just find his excuses lame and weak, and don’t believe him.

I am truly sorry for your disappointment, but now you know he’s not worth your time. Also, don’t drive 2-hours to meet someone. Make him come within 30-60 minutes of your location. A man who really wants to see you will do that. 🤗💐

@Carissimi I think you are right. And I felt more vulnerable that far from my home.

And you were. Choose a public place where you feel comfortable, and within an hour’s drive. If that’s too far for your comfort level, make it 30-minutes. Better luck next time. I know how hard it is. @greenmountaingal
