So at 6 pm tonight I was just arriving at where I was supposed to meet an eH match for a 2nd date. As I was getting out of my car she called and said she had just remembered that we were 'going to do something' and that at the moment she 'was doing X and Y so I can't make it....unless you want to...' At that point I interrupted and politely but quickly brought the conversation to an end.

What would you do in this situation? Personally, I think that's a game ender. Maybe, maybe if she made some great effort to make it up to me....but otherwise no. How about you?

In my 20's, I got stood-up on several occasions. Now in my 30's, it's an absolute deal breaker.

Don't disrepect my time - get a calendar!

It's happened to me for sure- I had a date who showed up- plastered. As far as I was concerned- I was stood up!

LOLzz..whatever.

I have to agree that this is a deal breaker and also agree that you must not have been very important to her. You must not have made a very strong impression on the first date.

Definite deal breaker. There are very few situations where I'd make an exception (genuine emergencies), but not in a case like this.

I agree with the "make it up to me" possibility.
