I don’t think it’s ‘polite’ to make lame excuses & lie about wanting to hang out again when you have no intention of ever seeing that person again.

It’s even worse to agree to meet someone then literally fkake out at the last minute. I’m probably going to completely give up on even trying to meet new people or even try to intiate plans with my current crappy friends anymore. People suck.

Yeah I've been told since I was a kid that I can be too blunt or honest. Maybe I'm on the extreme end of the spectrum, but it's such as waste of time and energy for everyone involved if there's no honest communication. I've been getting better at being more diplomatic over the years, but I'm still someone who doesn't beat around the bush.

It's definitely not polite to make lame excuses. And I see right through them since it's the same ones all the time. How many of these people can really break or lose their phone? What a coincidence.

Have you or anyone on this thread ever tried Meetups? I did a little research and read reviews. As expected, it's mixed as some people like it and some don't. But I've found mostly bad stuff. I didn't know it was international either. Anyway I have misgivings.

For one thing, I don't want to create yet another username and password. And on that note, some people said there's so many bugs in the software, such as pages not refreshing or error messages and such. I certainly don't need more frustration, as people are enough. Don't bring technology into it!

Some of them don't even say WHERE they meet and some have a different location each month. I browsed a few book clubs and same problem: WHERE and how often do they meet? I might have to log in to view the information. In a way I can understand why they want to keep that private unless someone is sincere about joining. But it's a Catch 22 for me because I'm not going to drive that far. It's all such a big risk and I COULD go through the same bs I've been going through.

You're right that people suck. They really do. Years ago someone told me to stop banging my head on here. Well it's really expressive of how I feel, especially about people. So here I go:
