Re: meeting
Allot of reason, some find it easier to make a date online than it it (for different reasons) to keep in in "real life"
Maybe the photos they posted aren't "accurate" or they's spun a few fibs that can't be dealt with in person like online, maybe like they're married or engaged, and get cold feet about being caught.
They could be the type that like to tell their online lovers what they want to hear as a way of keeping thier online lover strung along and exclusive...always there and accessable for them whenever they turn on their computers.
...And being one who always tries to give the benefit of the doubt...it may be that they are just shy and nervous, maybe inexperienced (with love, sex, and/or online dating)
Maybe keep 'em on the back burner, and keep yourself open for new people...don't lock yourself in with an indecisive or maybe even just a rude person...

Re: meeting
I'm here to tell you the gals do the same thing. Not all but I just had it happen to me. I had a solid lunch date, I thought with a couple. This was "meet and greet", nothing more but as the appointed date approached no contact, no show. It is unfortunate that some folks can't tell the truth even in little things. The best policy is to always tell the truth, never embellish but be yourself and if it turns out you can't keep your word at least have the common courtesy to tell those involved. Life would be so much easier if everyone worked that way.

Re: meeting
Some people are just braver, more outgoing and extroverted in the "cyber world" than they are in the "real world"
He's either a rude jerk and not worth your time, tiger...or someone very self conscience, insecure and shy, (fears you may reject him once you meet him in person)
You've been the one communicating with him, so your guess is gonna be better than mine I'm sure.

Re: meeting
I know this happens to all of us. We had a meeting with someone and traveled to go meet him. When we got to the restaurant we waited an hour before ordering our meal. Tried to call him with no answer. That doesn't mean that all people are like that. We have made some great friends that we meet with. Guess some people have an easier time chatting online and when it comes to really meeting it is harder for them.

Re: meeting
I Know this is not a direct response, but I am thinking about meeting up with a member next month. I am OK with it now, but as I have never met anyone from the internet I am quite scared and may end up calling it off. Even though I have been chatting to him and sharing pics and vids with everthing you read about in the news is it a good idea?
Also I have not had a sexual encounter with anyone for many years after a bad split.
Please help...

Re: meeting
Check at the bottom of the page for the bold typed "Dating Safety" link....
I think if he does not already have too much info on you,(full name, address, home phone, etc) and you take some good sense safety precautions, it would be just fine.

Re: meeting
...of course, if your gut tells you "no"...or you just don't feel comfortable, then maybe you shouldn't just yet.

Re: meeting
in my humble opinion, it's perfectly safe, if you are careful in y our planning. but i would recommend getting to know some one quite well, before you actually meet in person. the last time i met some one via an internet dating service, we chatted through the websites chat room for about months, before we gave each other our personal info, and continued to chat for about another year, before we met face to face. just take your time, you'll know when it's time to meet face to face, because it will just "feel right"
