I'm sure the people at that other site would LOVE to hear that.  |

Thanks for the replies, people. And no- the people at the "other site" were nowhere near as cool.
The place didn't even have a forum, for god's sake- instead of forums, they had myspace-esque 'journals' where you put in your 'most intimate thoughts"... which would be fine, if the journals weren't made available for all the other users to read! 
Needless to say, said nosy friend of mine was taken back when I referred to that other site as "myspace for losers", which it pretty much was.

A rather nosy friend of mine suggested that I try this place out. This is ironic, as I had a less-than memorable experience with another dating site that said nosy friend had gotten me into.
Anywhoo- hello and don't flame me too bad.  |

Hey people, first post-
I went through this kind of crap recently at another dating site, the name of which I won't mention here.
Long story short-
We chatted... we went on a date... and we agreed on a second date. Or that's at least what I thought...
Then she decides to go in-communicado on me... she'd agree to this second date, only to flake out on me. At first she claimed she had issues to deal with as a reason for her flakiness. And this would be fine... if she didn't continue with her flakiness, that is. She'd plan a "movie date", then flake. Then she wouldn't reply for a week. Then she'd reschedule the "movie date". Then she'd flake again. Rinse and repeat.
I even mentioned to her at one point that she should just tell me if she wasn't interested in going out, as her pulling her start-and-stop routine was getting old.
After a couple more rounds with her apparent indecision (lasting the better part of two weeks), she THEN decides to "cut bait" and cut me loose, if you will.
Then one of her online buddies called me a "terrorist", which added a whole other dimension to the snafu.
Needless to say, if the other person flakes out on you, drop them like a hot potato. It's rude, it's inconsiderate, and (most of all) it's disrespectful. And since respect is a MAJOR part of whether or not a budding relationship will work, I'd say this is some important stuff.
