Let's just say with the wonderful attentive prep work you do to impress. The idiot that stands you up hasn't a clue!

Ms Wantng,
People Flaking is an epidemic, particular to sites like this.
But ....as far as the friendship aspect of your post goes....
We totally agree with your take on that issue.....within Reason.
Our circumstances are, of course, a touch different than yours, in that we are generally looking for other couples, and the aligning of Four schedules { let alone the numbers when children and other family are included....} can be daunting. In our case, we generally use this little truism;
"We DO want to be your Friends, but we don't need you to move into our basement."

However.....even having said that, we agree with you 100% that there is no excuse for ghosting
( to use a Millennial's phrase that I'm not even sure I'm allowed to.... }
As we always stand firm in our belief that our desire IS to be friends with any playmates we develop, we believe that we should treat them as such; as friends. And one certainly doesn't maintain any level of friendship by ignoring what friends one has. Perhaps some of our contemporaries are So blessed with contacts that they undervalue all but the latest.
But, Hearkening back to the days of rotary dialing, all of Our friends should always remain, "just a phone call away".
Or an email?
Telegraph?
Jungle Drums.....?

Now, the Lovely Siren and I will be the first to admit that we are not ALways the best of correspondents. But we like to think that this is often more a result of circumstances rather than lack of interest. ( one circumstance being that we're sometimes Lazy....)
Still...People do get busy, and we are no exceptions to that observation. But we will often try to reconnect with people we have been out of touch with. Sometimes it's successful, other times Pride stands in the way of that virtual reunion. But nonetheless, when we realize that we are embarrassed by the length of time we've left a friend uncalled for, we Try to make amends.
Waiting that long may Not be the best way of scheduling such things, but it's functional.

But again, to your point, in today's world of multimedia and technology, there should always be Some way to remain in contact. And, as you also point out, beyond that ; how difficult is it to spare an afternoon to share a coffee at one of the concessions in Stanley park with someone you shared affection { possibly intimate } with??
It's not a Lifetime commitment.... It's coffee.
And...A face to face outshines the virtual alternative every time....
If you Ever really Liked these people, MAKE the time!

In the End, we think that you and we share a similar simple philosophy.

We only want to be with people who want to be with us at least as much.

We consider Toilet Paper Delivery just a Quid Pro Quo of that.....

I am in shock that it happens at all. Wishing you lived closer, you wouldn't have that problem.

Fair to say the flakes are very much in the ascendant, especially on here. I know, you never noticed before, right????

While I certainly have MORE than my share of female bloggers that I have a crush on, I agree that meeting in person is the ultimate action. I've been quite lucky, and can honestly say I've never been stood up, nor have I failed to show up myself.
