Do you know for sure he is? Have you googled him?

He stood you up. Why would ever speak to him again? Or do you accept excuses for bad treatment?

What do you mean by google him?

Ok. The thing is we did not agree on a time or place, but we did agree on a day and he was suppose to get back to me on the rest of the specifics.

And no I do not like to accept excuses for bad treatment. However, I did give him bad attitude the whole time I was chatting with him.

If you know his full name, go to Google.com and type it in. If it's a common name, add other information such as location to narrow it down. This is how I found out a former boyfriend was still married and I had been dating him for almost a year in real life.

And I'd like to add that nothing online is remotely real. Not even a little bit. People will be who you want them to be if you've never met them. I'm not really sure how you can be irritated with someone and chat with them at the same time online. If you were truly mad at him, you wouldn't even bother letting him find you or respond to him.

Well, that's a different story. It sounds like he found something else to do on that day and just didn't bother to call you off. That happens. It still sucks, but I would consider it a lesson learned: until plans are confirmed remain a free agent!

If someone tells me he'll get back to me, I let him know when he should do that. And then I don't wait one.minute.past.that.time! Believe me, if he's into you and misses out on a date, he'll get it.

BTW, you should meet asap. It's been 3 months (I think you said) and that's far too long not knowing if there's a real fit!

Good luck!!

Thank you for your feedback.

He did tell me, he ended up celebrating his bro's b-day that night. Next time I'll make sure I confirm plans, and to call if he can't make it.
