    So yesterday I was meant to have a date with a guy. It was an ‘at home’ date where he was meant to come by for a chat. We talked the day before and arranged a time etc. He also stated he was interested in more than the tea an chat… (this would have been our third date, we already had sex) Which was ok with me because Im not looking for anything serious now. I message the guy my address, he reads the message….and NEVER shows. WTF gives? Why did I get stood up? And why do guys make plans, talk offer to meet, say they’re excited, and then not show?

    Did he get back to you with an apology and a good excuse of why he was a no-show? I’d also get offended if someone stood me up, because first that’s being disrespectful of me and my time. And if he did read the text, and couldn’t make it he could have at least called to cancel. It’s hard to say why he stood you up. It could be anything
    -He just didn’t feel like it and decided not to show up
    -He moved on to Plan B, Guaranteed sex that didn’t require much effor e.g navigating through your street address.
    -Bottom line he’s a disrespectful jerk.

    If someone did this to me, with no apology and a good excuse, I would never bother reaching out to them. Just cut him out of your life and move on to someone with some decency and manners.

    I dont understand this. First u have sex with him so early and he must have branded you as trash. Then if he treats you like trash, you are upset? What else did you expect?

    Having sex with someone too early doesn’t make you trash Sarita.

    Secondly, The OP stated she’s not looking for anything serious, in other words she’s okay with an FWB or NSA kind of relationship. There is nothing wrong with this. But just because you’re not seriously dating someone does not mean they should not accord with the kind of respect you deserve.

    Here’s a guy perspective about the whole having sex too early and being trashy or not.
    men do determine their level respect for women early on…so the “easier” you are, the more willing you are to put out can definitely change the opinion of a man….in theory everyone should be judged equally with balanced investment and commitment, but If you know anything men and listen to them you’ll realize that there is definitely a double standards…men feel it’s ok to get laid with as many women as they want, but they expect women to be uptight or give some difficulty/resistance or they’ll just chalk you up to “that type of girl”. Not many guys are going to openly admit that, I would expect most men to say they either don’t care or they don’t judge but personally that’s not what I think is true, any guy that really cares and wants something long-term is going to be at the very least curious to whether you’re the kind of girl that gets around or not. If they don’t want anything serious or they see you as a temporary thing, they won’t give a **** because they’re just using the vagina in the same way it doesn’t matter to them.

    Casual sex doesn’t have to be a sin, but both people have to be on the same page and communicate with each other on their expectations and intentions…often men want casual sex with women who are relationship material because they want a better “quality” then the girl at the club who’s vagina is hanging out and she sloshed over from tequilla shots…men have an ego, they want to feel like they conquered and achieved something, it’s how many men develop their pride…that’s why they go for the “good girls”, but some also could care less…it just depends on the values, morals and raunchyness of that particular man because it’s kind of the same thing any way you slice…some people just think one thing is better than another so they can feel better about themselves.

    The majority of guys you run into are going to be after your vagina, the guys that are the good guys you probably won’t be attracted or interested in…so you determine how easily you’re going to give it out or not. What you’ll get and see as “romance” and “intimacy” from guys will just be that initial interest of wanting to have sex with you, but this will be quite typically or they won’t even get back to you but he clearly just wants you as a FWB to me.

    He sounds like a lazy guy and probably has low interest in making anything out of the relationship. He should have let you know he is not showing up, that’s just common courtesy. Forget him.

    Yes i deleted his number and am not planning on ever talking to him again. Disrespect me and my time is a no go. Also let me maybe give a few extra details… I am not trash, nor did i sleep with him before because I was easy, we had what I thought was a connection, great chat, physical interest, talk and hand out effortlessly. But that was two months ago, and this was meant to be our ‘catch up’ after not seeing each other. OBVIOUSLY he is not interested and doesn’t respect me in the slightest so our ‘friendship’ or aquaintence-ship is now over. What my question is, is why put in all the effort to make the date(he set the day), promising you want to see me, talking to me the day before about details, how attracted you are to me, etc if you’re not going to show up?

    maybe he just broke up with your neighbour or what. I mean, what could have possibly changed since you sent him your address? he read it and didn’t want to go there. stupid, really

    It really bothers me when I hear that men think that a woman is easy because she slept with him on the first or second date. I hate generalizations. Maybe they should consider that the woman slept with him because she found him extremely attractive. That doesn’t mean that she is easy and sleeps with any guy she meets. Maybe she didn’t plan to do it but it happened. Maybe it doesn’t happen to her often or whatever. It’s always about degrading women, and justifying men. Not fair. But this is how society has been taught.

    To the poster they insinuated she is trash…..how dare you say that?!The OP has stated that she wasn’t after anything serious so what’s the issue in sleeping with someone early?The issue is he didn’t turn up, and that isn’t because he sees her as trash, it’s probably because he’s an inconsiderate idiot.To the OP you did the right thing deleting his number, even if it is casual you still deserve that respect. ???? he will contact you but when he does I genuinely wouldn’t bother replying!

    The rules on this forum state something along the lines of never calling the OP trash or being disrespectful. The way to word such opinions would be to say something like this … ” many men can interpret early sex as a sign that you are not interested in a serious relationship or they can feel they have not been presented with much of a challenge and that you would be this friendly with any man”

    It all comes down to confidence and the luck of the draw. If a woman makes a big deal out of early sex and regrets it that will go against her. If a man is mature and feels this was a special connection and that you are still reserved in opening up the secrets of your soul then he may view you as an intelligent woman with a healthy appetite for sex with no hang ups about rules.

    I feel he just wants to play around and found another woman. The only real connection is lust and good chemistry – some shared humour and interests. It takes months before you can really feel you have moved into a possible love situation. He has shown he is a jerk so it’s a lucky break you escaped

    I second what may said… It’s about your confidence in reference to “early” sex. But be real, guys that think they can judge you for sleeping with them too “early” yet pull behavior like this I find comical. Like really??? You don’t have basic manners and are incapable of practicing proper social etiquette and you’re trying to make ME feel bad. Lol. Yeah right! Little boys make me laugh

    Lol exactly Alia If someone is judging you because you had sex with them early , especially when they are right there having sex with you and being 50% responsible, then they are hypocrites and hold ridiculous double standards. Bullet dodged. Bye Felicia.

    She stated she didn’t want anything serious…
    She sleeps with the guy…. Then gets upset is she gets stood up…. Sounds like she is trying to have more than a casual relationship. Maybe the guy didn’t want to invest time or catch feelings for a girl who only wants a casual relationship.

    Zach you’re not a man are you?

    This has nothing to do with sex. He just wasn’t very interested. Just walk away and forget him.

    The worst thing you can do as a woman is try to analyse what you’ve done wrong or what didn’t work. All you’ll do is work yourself up over nothing and over think in another situation. You can ruin your love life doing that.

    Forget it. He’s an idiot. Move on!

    Adding on to what Zach said, the value of the woman (for a relationship or not) depends on the value they place on themself

    …the value the guy places on himself

    He’s an a$$hole. Probably just being nice because he thought he could sleep with you again that night. He may have gotten a better offer (better in his mind). This has happened to me too, and I have learned not to pursue men, and to be cautious with those who are pursuing me. Nothing wrong with casual sex, but I think men handle it differently. I’m also skeptical of any man showing “romantic interest” because it’s usually about sex, just like when men pretend to be your friend and all the time are waiting for an opening to sleep with you. True love is elusive. It can start from a one night stand or a platonic friendship, but it is also RARE. Most women are looking for love and men are looking for sex. That’s why it’s good to hold off on having sex (with a guy you really like) so that you do not fall in love too soon. Men tend to know what they want from the beginning. In my experience, the men who really wanted me were not attractive and saw me as some kind of prize. Whenever it was reversed and I showed a man I really wanted him, he would use me and treat me like crap. I am done with sex for now, until I find something genuine. Sex is not just for pleasure, it was intended to create life and bond two people together. I am non-religious but I believe in the sacredness of sex. Try celibacy for a while, and see how that works. You will start to understand how full of $hit most of these guys are. I wish you luck, and remember, no one can make you feel bad about yourself without your consent! ~A message to all of the beautiful ladies out there~
