AlanRachel,Always going to get your fairshare of timewaster on here,we as a couple always take the following steps to ensure that who we are meeting is genuine.
1/We never answer e mails from people who do not send a facial pic.
2/We always cam/cam with individuals before we decide to meet.
3/ we always agree with the individuals 1st meet is for drinks and a chat and if either party wants to leave earlier no offence is meant or taken.
Of course this will limit the amount of people who contact you but in our opinion those who do are taking this as seriously as yourselves.
ps
We did this on Sat night and met a marvelous single male,who left our house with a big smile on his face and 2 smiling faces waving him goodbye.
hi
will draw a line under this now,,
seems its acceptable to be pissed about and the norm!!!!!!
will stick to clubs in future ,,, at least someone turns up... even if it is just for a drink!!!

thx for tour input,, made interesting reading
hi alanrachel,
the thing with most singles is that they '' need'' to shag at end of day. its tarring the rest of us genuine ones with same brush. and then puts couples off ever meeting with dont have to be good looking, just have common sense and a good personality . attraction comes in various forms, all i can say is dont give up. there are some good ones out there. even if its on a social basis, the fun part is and always be a bonus.
lifes for living, exploring, then you die gracefully.
sorry to hear your bad luck.
Too many time wasters..cpls and singles..that spoil it.
I think you should be able to name and shame...although apprieciate comments above. Pity we cant have our profiles verified like other sites. This helped me a lot due to the verification.
hope your luck changes.

By that criteria I could name and shame the couple who arranged a meet with me,cancelled it "due to family reasons" and said they wouldn't be meeting anyone from the site for the forseeable future but then carried on updating their ad,including on the day they were due to meet they had to say was that they'd decided I wasn't for them.
But I wouldn't want to name them,I don't know the full story of their change of heart and no way would I want to try to ruin their chances elsewhere as an act of "revenge".
Another thing with verification is in a private meet its private who plays with who,after a munch or at a club meet that is more open for others to see who does what with who but if I meet someone privately then that is what it is,a private meeting,be it a social drink or the wildest romp of one's wildest I nor they are passing any test to be "verified",we are simply enjoying each others company be it at the bar or on a bed and if the latter that is very much between us and nobody else.
I quite agree that meeting for a drink and chat before deciding to take things further or not is the right of any couple and for the lady concerned in particular.
I would not expect any lady to agree to shag anyone who she has not met before without having even the briefest of chances to weigh the guy up. (Of course there are some out there who do get off on being shagged by a total stranger, again each to their own).
As for the guy not turning up, As always it is very bad form not to attempt to contact the other party to cancel.
Timewasters are always a hazzard and very difficult to spot until it is too late. The only answer at the moment is to put it down to experience and try again with someone else, Some other sites do operate a feedback system and no doubt the folk running this site have looked into how to apply such a system. The problem then of course is how do you stop someone putting bad feedback against your name, As I'm sure some of the saddo's out there would do simply for being turned down for a meet.
Finally
Having looked at your profile I just wish I were 100 miles closer!
Well done Matrix.................
The fact you have "outed" yourself, and openly admitted you were the one, in our eyes, took some balls.
