Unfortunately, this kind of thing happens all too often. It doesn't matter what the reasons are, really. A courteous and caring person would find a way to tell you (for example): "I really wanted to meet you but, my whole life is unspooling. I know it's only Thursday but, I don't think I'll be able to make it on Saturday" Yes, life can throw us curveballs but if you're important enough to him, he'll find a way to make sure that you know that he isn't just some lout who's standing you up. I would also like to expound on this: quote:
ORIGINAL: jennileigh8182 This was your first meeting and you were going to have him pick you up? Caution, my dear! Take your own transportation and meet somewhere public, if you do meet. Good advice but, let's go further: whenever you are meeting anyone new , not only should you take your own transportation but you should arrive, first and leave, last. In other words: Don't let them even see you getting into or out of your car. License plates can be traced, fairly easily (though they're not supposed to be easy to trace for civillians). Also, don't meet in a place where too many people know you (a familiar bar, or restaurant). Not only will it make things a bit "sticky" if the end of the relationship gets ugly but, if the person is a stalker and you bring them to your "home base", people there may be more willing to share information with the new person because they've seen you with him and will think they're doing you a favor. I can't believe I'm adding this but I will. Make sure you have a safe call with a time limit in place. Get as much information about the other person as is possible (You got there before he did. Grab his plate number as well as the make, model, and color of his vehicle) and give it to someone you trust. Then, tell your friend that if they don't hear from you within 90 minutes (or so) of the appointed time of your meet-up, they are to alert the proper authorities. While I may sound like an alarmist, these things might save your life (although, if you do them, you may never know if they have). Peace and comfort, Michael
