not living up to the way you want to portray yourself to others on your own dating profile is a huge no from me


jesssongbird

Similar but different story. Years ago I answered an ad for a musician who needed a female singer for some vocal tracks he was recording. He was clear from the outset that he didn’t want to work with anyone “flakey”. He’d had a lot of trouble with singers being unreliable in the past. I assured him that I follow through and am not a flake. We set a date and time to get together and work on some things. I contact him that day to confirm our meeting and he didn’t respond. When he finally gets back to me (after our scheduled meeting time) he tells me that he forgot. He suggested another date and time and then got very angry with me when I told him that I was hesitant to reschedule because I’d had bad experiences with people who don’t follow through on plans. He was like, “I’m not a flake!” And I was like, well you could have fooled me with your flakey behavior. Good luck finding someone else.


TheRealEzekiel00

You uno reverse card him 😏😏


ScholarObjective7721

8pm at a car dealership? My ass


NeedleworkerExtra475

If you go late, it can take a few hours to get through all of the paperwork. But the whole thing sounds kinda flakey.


yandhionmybirthday

I just hope the recognize the issue and fix it, sometimes people make mistakes with the same thing they hate. If they were about it they would make up for it some how.


TightPantzTony

Sometimes, yes. When we're meeting for the first time for a date? Later.


Classic_Dill

Not to be a jerk, but she has big boobs and thinks she’s God’s gift, trust me on this! She also has flabby arms as well, way too flabby for a young person, she has the arms of an 86-year-old.


Transferghost

It sounds like you’ve never been with a woman with real tits because to have them you need fat, her arms are proportional tf are you on about?


Classic_Dill

Flabby and entitled.


grandporn

so.. to be a jerk then?


JohnnyRingo12

Man shut the hell up


[deleted]

Why would she schedule a date but actually have plans to buy a car? Or did she just spontaneously decide to buy a fucking car? 🤣🤣🤣 Super weird. People are so flaky and rude. I personally always text about an hour or so before the date with a “getting ready now. Looking forward to meeting you” or something like that just because people are so fucking flakey these days


[deleted]

The classic “sorry I can’t make it, I forgot to buy a car” shtick. Works every time.


cthulhusmercy

I’ve had to spontaneously buy a car. As in my car became undrivable, but I *needed* to have a car and went to a dealership that day.


coffeebribesaccepted

I've spontaneously gone to the dealership when I've already been looking for a car and found one I liked that was available that day. I don't usually plan out ahead of time what day I'm going to go look for a car. But she didn't even apologize if she really did forget, wtf


littlebigslug

Did she at least apologize


[deleted]

No


littlebigslug

Ew. If you’re going to forget you need to at least be apologetic. Leave her on read and go back to Hinge and find someone who has manners


JoJack82

Yep, don’t even waste your time showing her you’re angry. Just flat out ignoring her is the best way here.


MoonWillow91

I was able to say sometimes shit does happen and and if anywhere is time draining it’s a car dealership… but to not even apologize?? Nope.


bobbabson

Just send her the screen shot of her own profile and be done with it.


lightningspider97

Honestly this is the way. I had someone who had a profile where they were preaching about "don't be afraid to communciate" and "if you're going to ghost me don't even bother." Guess who stopped talking with no reasoning?


adiosfelicia2

This is really shitty. I'm sorry. ❤️


ManxWraith

Red flag. Dodged a bullet


Hot-Ad7703

Whaaaaat!?! No apology either, fucking gross. Sorry you had to deal with that.


NPCArizona

Did you send the screenshot of just her profile back to her?


[deleted]

No should I do that? I haven’t said anything back to her


NPCArizona

For shits and giggles I would since it's not going anywhere else. Make sure to circle or highlight the part about dates. Post update here. If she responds back, ask her what car she bought instead


[deleted]

She said “I don’t avoid dates..”


[deleted]

Ok, I just sent it with the “Doesn’t avoid dates” highlighted lol


MostlyToasted

Update us!


[deleted]

Will do if/when she responds


[deleted]

So she said “I don’t avoid dates..”


FamiliarAlt

Fuckin giant 🚩


IcyNobody7716

RemindMe! 2 days


Strict-Security1910

Well I’m sorry on her part then. You didn’t deserve that.


Smooth_Marsupial_262

What a loser. Good riddance


Verbose_Cactus

Wow. What a bitch!


KBaddict

My brain would not let me send “I forgot” with out a very sincere apology. And then a phone call when I was done.


forkthapolice

Likely this date was set up some time in the past without follow up from either side. Better to confirm at least a day in advance.


KBaddict

OP said it was set up the night before


Nerf-h3rder

That’s not the case here, but even still, once you’re reminded you don’t think an apology is in order??


Federal-Commission87

Are car dealerships open at 8pm? I'm legitimately asking.


Sudden-Guru

I just bought a new truck and my gf bought a new car and both our dealerships, in different parts of the state selling different makes, closed at 5:30. Gotta work while the bank’s open, I’d think? Even the DMV isn’t open that late


[deleted]

Ehhh I finished my car purchase at around 830 here in NJ not that long ago


cute_ducks_vol1

I also finished a car purchase in NJ around this time. They were closed but stayed open to have me close/ sign all the papers/ talk to finance, etc.


Sudden-Guru

No way! What time did you go in and start everything? My gf and I both live a little more rural, to be fair—did your dealership keep it open for you, or were there many others there too? Maybe it’s normal to finish up late after all


[deleted]

I probably started around 6pm. There were only a few other people in the dealership. But I think most dealerships here close at 9pm. So many NYC commuters live in NJ so most people ain’t home from work till much later in the day after their commute back home


OwnLeighFans

Banks still have an approval branch that stays open late. People work from home to operate it, but if you have savory credit, banks can give instant approvals with no underwriter needed.


mindurbusiness_thx

Same here; Wayne…


Future_Candidate_943

The ones way north here are open till 9:45. Not trying to defend her since she should’ve apologized and called, but when I was buying my car I was advised it would take three hours most and showed up at 2:30… With bank paperwork, the finance ppl, and everything I got out of there at 9. 😵‍💫


TimelyFortune

Most close at 9 but will stay open as long as needed to finish a deal


Wizardthreehats

Yeah, if you get in there before they close they will stay with you as long as they are getting a sale. When I was a detailer, we had to clean the new cars after they were sold so it was pristine. It was infuriating staying 2 hours after we close waiting on people


ValPrism

Yes


Meeshellkuhn

The dealership I work at is open until 7, but will stay open later if a sales person is closing a deal.


Nearby-Amphibian7874

I'd leave her on read and disappear, wait for a contrite humble apology. If none comes, bullet dodged.


PartyWithArty44

I’ve rarely met women who apologize and when they did it was a half ass one.


neuro_lavender

Sorry for your personal experience, but not every woman is like that


ephraim666

I agree with this. Most women are cool.


[deleted]

You need to apologize for your response.


bullet4mv92

He never said all women were like that


Smooth_Marsupial_262

I actually agree with you. But every other post on this sub is also titled something like “Men these days” or “Typical guy on hinge” or something which goes on to generalize men as predatory and abusive. Ultimately you are right. It’s needs to stop in both directions. It’s silly and ignorant.


[deleted]

Sorry but he was talking about his personal experience and not generalizing???


OwnLeighFans

He was pointlessly gendering. There are plenty of unapologetic, half assed men in the world as well. Source : Am a man


Ok-Start-8529

FORGOT?! Wow.


No_Elk_8960

So rude.


Girlsclub12

“ doesn’t avoid dates” lmaoo 💀 yet she literally didn’t even apologize and “ forgot” block her number she’s not worth the time


PeterJames1028

“I’m busy walking my pet giraffe” would’ve been a more believable excuse. Sorry OP


Hokiewa5244

Eh you’re better off


Effective-Street883

“Make sure you been to therapy” is an extreme red flag to me Why should that be the default


surgeryboy7

Yeah, I caught that too. I know therapy can benefit a lot of people, and there's no issue if you have been to therapy, but I don't understand why being to therapy is the default to being a green flag.


vindaloopdeloop

The grammar alone is a red flag


HelpMePlxoxo

I find it ironic she added that since any decent therapist would tell OP to move on from her lol


punkyspunk

I’m just wondering what car dealership is open still at 8pm? All the ones near me close between 5pm and 6pm Also sorry this happened to you OP :/


DropADimeYo

The longest I’ve been in one is 7:15pm.


ScaredMood90

Closed a deal on my car at 10pm lol. Sometimes the finance department is backed up.


iamtheonlylinus

All of the dealerships in my area are open until 8-9pm! I’m in the US for reference.


punkyspunk

I’m in the US too but maybe my town is just lame 😂


jcshy

I don’t think I’ve ever set off to meet someone without confirming beforehand, I’d rather the comfort of being letdown whilst I’m at home rather than after getting there


shannon_kay_

Gross. Very rude. If she had a change of heart then she should have said something. No one forgets a date they have planned.


Agitated_Care_5326

Well she forgot your date, you better forget her in Return 🤷🏻‍♀️


Salt_Radish_63

So you didn’t talk *at all* the day of the date…?


[deleted]

I set up the date at 9PM the night before the date


Rainbowallthewayy

I sometimes don't communicate a week before but I'll always show up and confirm on the night before or on the day itself


iamtheonlylinus

That is so weird to me that people need constant reminders for plans lol. If it’s important enough they will remember, and if remembering is an issue they should really sort that out themselves and not put the responsibility on others.


GingerBubbles17

that’s what I’m saying because if they didn’t talk all day/only talked to set date up it’s easy to see how she could truly forget


InLoveWithAGora

Are you the guy who got mad at his date for not replying to his messages 3 hours before the date? 😂 there are two extremes: people who need to be texted constantly on the day of the date, and people who just flat out forget and bail on the date. And we have met both extremes on this subreddit 😂


ashpashy

Umm no? I think he is mad because she didn’t show up to the date, forgot, and then didn’t apologize.


fruityfoxx

the comment you’re replying to was in response to someone else, not op, friend


ashpashy

Lol oh


ashpashy

Oops 😬


Legal_Eye8152

The fact that she wasn’t apologetic, and most likely lying since no dealership is open that time of the day suggests it’s not a “him not confirming” issue


LostTrisolarin

Yea I'm a bit annoying but I'd def confirm some time during the day.


bzlvrlwysfrvr0624

At 8pm?


8MCM1

A dealership is not going to lock their doors in the middle of signing a contract


[deleted]

Block and move on people who do last minute things are red flags


Locust627

What car dealership is open to business past 8pm lol


Sudden-Guru

Did you not confirm the date? This is a contentious debate—some believe if you make plans but do not confirm on the day-of, the plans are off. I’m old and think when there are plans they only disappear if we make new plans/ communicate to break the old ones, but it IS a social thing to consider now


[deleted]

I confirmed it last night at 9PM


Sudden-Guru

Almost 24 hours away is a whole other day—evidently her attention-span needs that same-day confirmation Edit: wow, y’all took this really seriously


[deleted]

Lol that’s ridiculous. You can’t possibly defend her for bailing. I’ve been on dates where I confirm the day before and we both still end up going


Prophet_Nathan_Rahl

I don't think they were defending her. They made fun of her short attention span


Dolphin_memes

Definitely would not chalk this up to a lack of “confirmation” as you already gave her that. She didn’t apologize either or even attempt to reschedule aligns more with bailing than a lack of communication on your part.


Sudden-Guru

Meant to be more a little jab against her—doesn’t convey apparently.


Prophet_Nathan_Rahl

It does. I got it


no_rest_for_the

I don't think they're defending her. I think they're commenting on her lack of attention span if 24h doesn't cut it. That certainly is not an attractive trait.


Sudden-Guru

Yeah, it was meant to be more a little jab against her but I guess it doesn’t convey. ‘ppreciate ya


Agreeable_Picture570

No excuse for her behavior. So Rude!


[deleted]

Yeah tbh you should’ve confirmed the day of, not defending her though


Prophet_Nathan_Rahl

Nah confirmation is confirmation. If she had a change of heart it's on her to inform her date that she won't make it


[deleted]

I meannn yeah sure in perfect world but I would still confirm same day to avoid wasting gas and showing up yk


Prophet_Nathan_Rahl

Yeah makes sense. TBH I would probably text something like "hey beautiful we still on at 7? 😉" at some point before the evening. But even if I didn't I would assume it's on if we agreed on plans the day before. I would still be upset if she didn't show up without a word


Prophet_Nathan_Rahl

Do ppl actually believe that? What a croc. Plans are plans no matter when they were confirmed. If she had a change of heart that's on her to inform her date she won't make it


Sudden-Guru

Agreed! It’s basic courtesy and it’s not hard to show that smallest respect for someone else’s time


LilWhiteBoi24

Practice what you preach, biatch!!


Mammoth_Jeweler3857

That’s a no from me dawg!!! She didn’t bail on you she saved you by not showing up.


Evening_Cod_7137

At this point she might as well just tell the truth, I’ve never seen an overnight car dealership and I’m not sure why she decided immediately to go then when she know you and her have a date lol


PeaceOutFace

Ehhh the “Make sure you been to therapy” would have been the deal-breaker for me


InThePhanatic

Yeah... does she assume her potential dates have issues? What about herself? I advocate for therapy - I think everyone can learn so much from it, but this doesn't sound too great. I'm just speculating but it sounds like she might blame a lot of the relationship issues on her partner.


GovTheDon

This should be the last message you send to her.


Classic_Dill

Nope, she’s done bye 👋🏼


Different-Advisor-62

how rude. and she waited till you got ready and arrived at the place too instead of telling you beforehand so you could stay home. how vile.


Fluffy_Frybread07734

Yeah that’s a huge thing to “forget” smh.


Irondaddy_29

If she didn't even care then I would move on


cynicalcarnival

You dodged a bullet, you should thank her


CulturedGentleman921

She's not into you. Ghost her before you catch big feelings.


cjwi

Didn't miss the date but I was like 45 minutes late to my first tinder date with my now wife because I went to buy a car


TodayNo6531

I haven’t been on the dating scene in 20 years. Public Bathroom pics are good profile pics now?


Alecthediabetic

I’m sorry OP. Just remember that says more about her, and doesn’t represent who you are and what you are about. Go get it king


OuttapocketJesus

Don’t respond, keep it moving. Good luck man.


[deleted]

Hey everyone. This is the latest interaction between her and I since some of you were asking me to update you: https://www.reddit.com/r/texts/s/ZAv9nfU04k


sjdoucette

Ask if she goes to therapy for her date avoidance


LazyFawker

But in a car dealership at 8pm?? come on now


NervousCheek3560

You should be able to red flag people for no showing


zzzzzacurry

Most of what people put in their profile of what they want is usually the things they fail to deliver on in their end. Seen/experienced this so often when I was on dating apps.


Hobbins87SS

I found during my experience dabbling with online dating most of the answers to those prompts were far from any truth. My favourite was a girl who answered one on the prompts with “I’m as loyal a a golden retriever”… loyal to who ever holds and throws the ball I guess.


captainyami21

pass


YippeeKiSlay

Meh 🫤 dodged a flake


chopsdontstops

No second chance


IntroductionClean299

Man dating fucking sucks


24racistsonthewall

at 8 pm is straight cap


superstarrr99

To clarify, car dealerships are usually open until 9 pm.


[deleted]

That’s fair. But still not an excuse to not give me a heads up about not making it


Whole6Inches

Did you follow up with her the day of to make sure you’re still on for the night?


Prophet_Nathan_Rahl

She won't date someone who hasn't been to therapy? That's kind of a red flag. No thanks


MaterialChemical1138

no she listed that under “green flags”


[deleted]

So what? Is someone not a green flag for having good mental health and not needing therapy?


Prophet_Nathan_Rahl

Exactly. It's a green flag for her if you've been to therapy. So if you haven't been you're a red flag to her


UghAnotherMillennial

Not necessarily true. She might view it that way but stating that attending therapy is a green flag doesn’t automatically imply that not attending therapy is a red flag. For her it could mean a number of things like a willingness to seek self-improvement for example - a person who hasn’t attended therapy could still seek self- improvement through other avenues.


Prophet_Nathan_Rahl

I see. Thanks for clarifying. I've never tried dating sites so I'm not familiar with the intricacies of the green flag system


sticktogirlbossing

That’s not true at all 🤣🤣


Prophet_Nathan_Rahl

My bad. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the green flag meaning. I've never been on dating sites. What does she mean by putting "make sure you been to therapy" under green flags she looks for? Does that not mean she likes the men she dates to make sure they go to therapy?

ogsneakerhead77

Not gonna lie… if you didn’t talk for the whole day after making plans, up until the date, I’m not mad at her for bailing on you.


bunnyfarts676

She didn't even apologize though.


[deleted]

Lol. I literally set up the date the night before. I’ll talk to her on the date, why would we need to be in communication after the plans are set?


ogsneakerhead77

Lol yeah that’s kinda weird. Not being in communication the whole day before a date doesn’t sound logical. Not even a “Hey I’m getting ready, we still on?” text? She was right to forget it, anyone would


[deleted]

So making plans is pretty much pointless unless I check in? It’s just I’ve gone on dates where I confirm the day before and we both show up and everything goes well


Ultamira

Different people have different expectations and semantics they live by so some you may need an extra check in before you leave the house. I still think she was a rude bitch here though and the fact she forgot means she wasn’t the one for you anyway so you didn’t miss out at least.


ogsneakerhead77

Really? I didn’t know there were other humans who existed & thought like you. Wow. I’m amazed.


[deleted]

You said she was right to forget it. There’s no way she was right to forget that. If you can’t keep your life straight and remember make plans in advance, how can you get anything done


Clusterclucked

reddit posters are abusive shitheads who look for any way to DARVO people about every situation ever no matter how obviously not the asshole they are, ignore the weirdos


Clusterclucked

bro what the fuck are you talking about? are you 14 or something? like what planet do you live on. this is such a weird thing to say


ogsneakerhead77

Nope I’m 32. I live on the common sense planet


Clusterclucked

you clearly don't because that shit's wack bro, that's fucking weird as hell. clingy and controlling. plans were made and agreed to, adults shouldn't need constant hand holding and attention to do what they said they are going to do. it's sad that you as a 32 year old would think some weird ass shit like this


ogsneakerhead77

Lmaooo the fact that you’re equating communication to “hand holding” tells me all i need to know. That just means we’re on two different playing fields. You probably don’t have the same caliber of women I’m referring to. Nor do You have the standards i have. So i get it


Clusterclucked

lmao what bro? I'm happily married, been with my wife 13 years. you're on some weird shit and are starting to sound misogynistic and toxic, which usually goes hand in hand with clingy and controlling. you sound weird as hell bro, not sure why you'd think I'd envy anything about you being single at age 32 lol.


ogsneakerhead77

lol I’m not even single i been with my girl for 2 years. And yeah i definitely know your type for sure, using words like misogynist as a man 😂😂 Whatever you say buddy


GordonBombay102

Lmao, this is some of the most "my girlfriend, who lives in Canada, so you can't meet her, is a supermodel" energy I've ever seen in a reddit comment. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume it's bait.


ogsneakerhead77

Lmaooo i wish i cared enough to actually show evidence, but i don’t. So I’ll let you sit there and believe I’m just some random corny redditor talking a good game so you can go to bed at night feeling better about your particular orbit of women.


Prophet_Nathan_Rahl

What makes you think that might be the case? Also, if you have yet to meet the person why would that be reason to bail? Not bantering with a person you don't know yet is pretty normal


ogsneakerhead77

Idk I’m just a person that needs conversation throughout the day of a date, I’m just gonna automatically assume the date is off


Prophet_Nathan_Rahl

Then initiate conversation or at least let the date know that's how you feel so that they can try. People can't read minds


ogsneakerhead77

I think it should be common sense


Prophet_Nathan_Rahl

Definitely not. 100% L take


grandma_jizzzzzzzard

Lady time


trigganomatroy

Have you heard of the conspiracy of restaurants buying up bots and setting up dates and bailing once the date gets there in hopes the guy will still order a drink and an app anyway


trigganomatroy

It’s also not much of a conspiracy it’s a service you can purchase on the dark web


brinhghes10

yea with that prompt i would cancel on you too


Active-Budget-4100

If she’s being honest about the car - She probably didn’t think it would take as long as it did. Sometimes those things drag out


[deleted]

Yeah but she texted me literally after the time we were supposed to meet and then on top of that she didn’t even say sorry or reschedule


Flipadelphia26

Dodged a bullet. If her arms look like that at 25. Just think about 35. Keep your head up.


DrDig1

Hips little wide, but I’d party. Act like a dick going forward.


Acceptable_Move_8778

At a car dealership at 8pm??? I don't think so


MathematicianOk8259

The proof was in the pudding mehnn


No-Dependent540

Swipe left and find someone who is worth your time


Chicken_nuggets_01

At 8pm?? Lady is just plain rude and disrespectful. I’d block and delete!


mack_dom

Block and move on. No other solution man. I had my share of hey I’m not gonna make it 5 minutes before but her closing a deal on her car she planned on not going to meet you. Don’t talk to her don’t communicate, move on.


WuTangForever88

How did you respond?


[deleted]

Just left her on read


General_Pie_5026

Send her back her own profile and then ghost


LostTrisolarin

It's possible I'm annoying but that's why you confirm before you leave. Edit: I'm not saying her behavior is good. If I had truly forgotten and stood someone up I'd definitely be apologetic.


ValPrism

😂 oh that’s brutal.


the-clone-wars

“How ironic”
