Wow! You sound like a real POS. Gross comment.

Nah. Bet he’s just a catfish himself.

He chickened out

OP here again: thank you so, so much for the kind words! silly as it sounds, they definitely made me feel better, so thank you internet strangers. I still can’t believe this happened to me - like several others on here, I have certainly had my fair share of ‘omg he looks so different from his profile’ but still stuck it out for an hour to be respectful to another human being! Anyways - I reported him to the app and they responded quickly and let me know that they’d banned him. Hopefully no other women will have to deal with this. The more I think about it-there was some shadiness, and part of me does wonder if he was cat fishing.

That’s what I was thinking. Freaking loser

Wow. I’m so sorry someone did that to you. You are worth it. And you are better off without this cowardly, uncaring person. I’m so sorry, Op. what a hurtful thing to do to someone.

[Anonymous]

Not a good quality person, and he absolutely did you a favor. Try to let it go and not internalize it, some people are classless.

Man here. Back when I dated, this would happen all the time. Not even from online dating, but you meet someone out in person like at a bar or event, then get in touch and agree to meet another time. Got stood up more times than I can count, and my friends had similar stories. Sometimes women would get in touch again a few weeks/months later like nothing happened.

It got to the point that I'd schedule to meet a places where it would be easier to be stood up -- close to my home, or near a friend's place, etc.

Nah MGOW wouldn't waste their time. They are men that simply want to live their own way, do their own thing, they wouldn't play such immature games because they don't appear to want drama with females so it's unlikely they would cause that on purpose.

I'm sorry OP, for whatever reason it didn't happen but don't blame yourself. This isn't about you. There is someone who will love you dearly for just being you. Don't give up on yourself.

Yes - I’d updated it recently. Weigh and look the same.

This might be his “schtick”...like he’s just a miserable human being who hates women (we see some of that here) and he was being deliberately cruel - never planned to meet you in the first place.

Regardless, what a douche. He wants to spread his own misery around, but don’t take it in — exhale and shake it off. And be thankful you never had to meet this toxic person.

He’s a jerk.

I think he was, OP. Good for you for getting him banned.

He messaged me that he was ‘walking inside’ - next thing I know - unmatched me and never showed up. Guess he saw me and decided I wasn’t worth his time. I usually consider myself a strong, independent woman, but this hurts....embarrassed I’m sitting here crying and feeling crappy over this. Think I’m done online dating.

Think of it this way ...... he saw you and got cold feet because he felt you were out of his league.

This.
Young dudes are so bored rn they have nothing better to do but troll.
It’s not you, OP.

What he did was all him. And cruel. But honestly don’t feel more embarrassed than necessary because 100% he wasn’t even there and never intended to be.
