Sure! You can avoid sounding critical when what you say stays with your own experience. When he says something like "we'll see" and plans change the problem most likely isn't that you didn't meet but…

I have been stuck in the loop of, organising dates and being ghosted or cancelled on. Or just absolute silence/ghosting on their end with the conversation. It’s part and parcel with online dating, I t…
I feel like you could probably stand to cut them off sooner. If someone cancels on me for a first date, even with a seemingly good reason, I usually break things off. If they cancel after a 2nd date w…
Completely fair! For the initial first date, I do two chances for cancelling, or three if they have children. Not wanting to sound like a monster, I do have different expectations when they have chi…

Hard pass for three reasons: He didn't tell you he wanted to cancel, he waited until you contacted him. If you had taken him at this word, he would've stood you up for his other plans. He didn't ap…
I don't observe super bowl Sunday, but FWIW Yesterday my plans got canceled and I thought it would be really nice to have restful day at home but it was, in fact, soul crushing. I think we need to pus…
Personally I wouldn't. The fact he didn't apologise and then goes "I've been cool and honest with you" is a red flag to me. He doesn't respect your time. I've had a guy cancel our second date last min…
Initially he said, coffee date. His cancellation text then became a 'hang'. The 'something fun' was earlier on. When I asked him what he meant, genuinely, he said 'not hook up if that's what you're th…
It sounds like you get really emotionally invested in these dates. You can't let that happen. They are all people that you barely know. If you have some routine that you enjoy (I dunno, pickleball eve…

Other party canceled on our weekend plans because they got sick and spent a few days recovering. We're still in contact almost all day, and it doesn't seem like they're less enthusiastic, but I feel l…
It’s a more intentional app. It does take some getting used to because you don’t talk whatsoever before agreeing and paying to go on a date. I think you get penalised for cancelling so it forces users…
Well, I spoke too soon. Date canceled for this weekend.
It was full cancel / "I don't think we're compatible" type message.
Oh no! We had some inclement weather on this side of the pond, flights were delayed and cancelled, all of that. I'll look into rescheduling immediately. Hopefully the latte is still hot?!

What’s stopping you from cancelling?
Cancel. It’s not fair to anyone to force it when you really aren’t feeling it
I went on a date with a guy this summer, about four months after my breakup. My friend met me after the date and said I seemed really excited, and maybe I was. He’s physically attractive and very nice…
Hmmm... I don't know. Here are some thoughts. There should be no debate about the fact that he's been chasing you, I don't know how else you can interpret his actions after you stopped responding. Y…
That’s a bit of a leap from what I wrote. I’m not drawn to unreliability. If anything, that was part of what gave me pause, although I’d describe it more as not taking initiative than being unreliable…
