Seems to be a growing phenomena! I wrote a little article about it and would love to hear from women who've had this experience. Or from men who can explain it!

This is not a gender issue, this is an emerging problem that both sexes face in our latest trend, online dating. Basic values and common decency become neglected.

There is no reason for anyone to simply disappear after they have initiated communication or gone out on a date with someone else.

If you have a change of heart take a couple of minutes and at least email the other person and let them know. It doesn't require a confrontation or an explanation, just a quick note. Afford them the same courtesy you would want.

Alians have secretly come to earth and eaten the brains of some people.

Only possible explanation.

Since you have no profile I don't know if you are just young or have blinders on. This is not something that is at all new to online dating. It is something that has been going on well before the internet came into being!!!.

Thanks for all your feedback everyone! I think it boils down to a fear of confrontation and/or commitment.... and that can happen in a man or a woman. Though in my experience and observation, it just seems to be much more common in men. Sadly.

It only seems that way because it's being done to you or you're hearing your friends complain about it. When a friend of yours just stops seeing a guy and won't answer his calls or emails she doesn't tell you about that, she just tells you what a creep she thought the guy was. When you flake out on a guy and stop acknowledging his existence you justify it in your own mind and don't even think about what you've just done.

Much the way people think they're better drivers than they are, think they're smarter than they are, think they're better looking than they are, and think they're physically in better shape than they are, most people think they're a better catch/dater than they are.

I've never disappeared without warning, but I've had plenty of women pull the Houdini act.

My god daughter just called me and said her boyfriend dumped her for another girl (she is 5 months pregnant). I told her he is a boy not a man and is obviously thinking with a certain part of his anatomy.
