    I met a girl on an online dating site. We messaged back and forth for about 2 weeks. Then we exchanged cell numbers and texted and exchanged pictures of ourselves. We even exchanged pics of our kids. After a total of about 2 1/2 weeks, I asked her out to lunch. On the day of our date, I drove over an hour to meet her. I texted her as I was leaving my house and she replied “OK sounds good”. That was the last I heard from her. I texted her when I got to the restaurant, with no reply. I ended up waiting about an hour and called and texted again asking if she was OK. Still no reply. Later that day I texted her again asking if everything was OK and why didn’t she show up. I waited 2 more days, then sent her a kind of nasty message on the dating site. Now I’m wondering if maybe she had some kind of emergency and I should have been more patient and waited for her to contact me. So now what? Its been 5 days and I haven’t heard from her. If I sent her a rude message and it turns out she had some kind of emergency, I’d feel like an ass. Should I just move on or apologize for my message and ask her to explain?

    The internet is an amazing tool. It can be a blessing, a curse, and in your case, somewhere in between. What seemed to start out as a normal online meeting, segueing into a real life lunch date, turned into your being stood up. 😡 This woman was incredibly rude, and while it would have been better for you not to send a nasty message to her, at this point, you should absolutely move on and forget her. There’s no excuse for her not contacting you to cancel the date and/or simply apologize for not showing up. Consider yourself lucky to have only invested a couple of weeks in this person. Next!

    One note for future: it would be a good idea [i]not[/i] to send photos of your children to someone you’ve never met and don’t really know. Most online dating situations are fine, but there are definitely some creepy people out there who are not who they say they are, and it’s always a good idea to keep your kids way out of the picture until you know the person really well — and that includes simply sending photos of them.

    I have a feeling you’ll have a lot better luck with your next online date. 😉

    Thanks, April. I was so excited, I guess I wasn’t thinking straight. After a couple of days, I realized she’s not worth it if that’s how she treats someone. And I’ll be a little more responsible about what pictures I share. Good advice 😉
