BASIC GOOD MANNERS.

We have been talking via Instant Messenger and Email to both halves of a MF couple. They live some 10 miles away and after discussion it was agreed that we would meet at a pub for a first chat and see if we were a match for further meets.

We had several messages that they would phone us firstly Friday evening, then on Saturday an email came to say they would be phoning Sat evening. This came and went, as did an expected call on Sunday

The idea being that we would arrange when and where we would meet up, sometime Sunday.

Good job we are not holding our breath, no message of any sort even to say that they have gone off the idea. Change of mind is not a problem, but surely, folks should expect others to have some basic good manners.

In this case obviously not, but then we did have a bit of a storm over the weekend, perhaps they were struck by lightening?

We are sure that ourselves and others can cope with a 'No thanks, or even a change of mind, but at least have the basic decency to let the others know.

Re: BASIC GOOD MANNERS.

Quite agree there,but then some people do not posess the manners do they?
Its the same as waiting for e mail responses where you send some couples a few pics for theirs in return.Just a quick no thanks would be polite.
Any way keep up the good postings.

Re: BASIC GOOD MANNERS.

UPDATE,

After that couple - Both halves M & F has contacted us by E-mail initially early July, and arranged ON SEVERAL OCCASSIONS to phone us to agree a time for a first meet at a pub 10 miles away. We had kept that evening free for them! We heard nothing until an Email last night the 16th August. The reason given for their failure to contact us was something about working.

Having again given them our 'availibiltiy' for a meet, we are curious if they will actually phone us to confirm a time.

We are not holding our breath, and if running a bet on them coming through the odd are again not good.

All that needs to be confirmed is that they are TOTAL DREAMERS and TIME WASTERS, then they can be BLOCKED and written off.

Still the experience has been useful to us, in that it has helped us spot those that TALK and those that DO.
