When Guys Disappear Prior to Meeting
Find a Conversation

I've posted about this before, but I am totally bemused by guys who contact me, exchange a couple of weeks worth of e-mail with me, ask if I am willing to meet even (in a couple of cases) suggest a date and time, and as soon as I agree, disappear.
So far, I have been on Match.com since early March (I think) and I have exchanged e-mail with FIVE different guys who went so far as to plan a "meet and greet" with me and then disappeared. To this day I am yet to meet anyone from OLD face-to-face.
The two most recent disappearers asked if I was "ready to meet in person" at around the same time. I answered one of them right away saying "Sure, where shall we meet?" That was last Wednesday. I haven't heard from him since. The other one I answered on Thursday. We discussed it a bit and agreed we should meet next Saturday. I have not heard from him since I replied agreeing to his suggestion of restaurant.
Why me???

Oh, goodness, it's hardly just YOU, LOL!!!!
Welcome to the wonderful world of OLD ;-).
It's happened to all of us, don't worry.
But with respect to the 2nd guy, he may think that since you have a meet set, there's no need to continue to email (I tend to think that way myself as I prefer to get to know someone in person rather than by email). So, you might send him an email tomorrow or Wed saying, "I'm looking forward to meeting you on Saturday, just wanted to check in and make sure we're still on".
