I did wince when I read it and I'm assuming she's elderly ? But I didn't question it apart from why an mri.

I met them both on Tinder, only app I'm using at the moment. Mr 5'5 lives in the town near me so that was a positive for me as often they are miles away.. I met Mr bad breath on Tinder too!
I don’t specialise in geriatrics but the physical force required to break that many ribs and the resulting compromised chest cavity would have caused additional significant injuries. A fall would generally see ribs 7-10 affected. These sound like car crash/extreme sports type injuries, not something you’d see in an elderly patient. I’m just not buying it but I feel terrible for calling him a liar all the same 😂

I had someone who I had met once completely ghost me after we both decided to plan a second date. The reason being his cat had been ill. Ok fair enough. But he left it a good month before he messaged me to tell me that.

I had another guy cancel twice with a generic not feeling well and then the second time with a headache. He actually messaged me last month asking me if I remember him.... I was chatting to him in the summer of 2020! I didn't even click on the message and deleted the chat.

I'm honestly not sure what to make of it all tbh, his message said 8 broken ribs and a dislocated shoulder. He said she had a fall in his message last night but no how she had done it...The flakey behaviour before the 1st date that didn't happen has given me cause to doubt him, and for someone I've yet to meet it's all too much drama. It's ok if he's changed his mind , although no indications of that on our chats, I'm not a horrible person and would hope he knows that from chatting to me . Some people just struggle to be honest and resort to lies, I'd hate to think he's lying but who knows! He added me to his Instagram btw so he's who he says he is ( I think!) but again only he knows the truth!

Standard procedure as I spoke to them as they found a bleed on the lung..I'm seeing her tomorrow afternoon I hope you're ok and having a nice day xx

I can't screen shot so I've copied and pasted the message he just sent on WhatsApp!

[08/03, 08:20] Morning ☀
[08/03, 08:21] M🍀: Good Morning.. hope you're well and ok xx
[08/03, 08:23] All good here, how are you and how's your Nan ?
[08/03, 08:24] M🍀: So Nan has just been moved to the ward an hour ago.. 8 broken ribs and fractured right shoulder.. mri being delayed too x
[08/03, 08:26] Wow she really did fall hard, bless her. What's the mri for ?

I always find it weird when people want you on their social media without meeting 🤷‍♀️. I'm beginning to think I am just not made for dating. I don't find many of them attractive. I want a nice hipster looking fella with a great head of hair, doesn't smoke weed, isn't in a polyamorous relationship but is emotionally available. Is that asking for too much?

Is that the ‘tomorrow afternoon’ that he would have been seeing you? Has he even acknowledged that you had plans tomorrow and cancelled them properly / apologised for not being able to make it? Or is he just assuming you’ll make the link yourself and spare him having to confirm that he’s flaking out? 😒

That's exactly what he's done yes. Tomorrow was supposed to be our coffee date. I've not responded to his message as I'm not sure what to say tbh.

Urgh! He needs to just address it. Why are they incapable of communication?

same! i’m very wary of giving someone that much “access” (for want of a better word) to me and my life before i’ve even met them in person.

i’m starting to think i’m not cut out for it either 🤣 i don’t find anyone of them attractive, if they text too much i find it too full-on and clingy, if they don’t text enough then i think they’re too casual and disinterested. i am never happy 🤣

don’t respond, archive the chat. he knew tomorrow were your plans, and he knows he has no intention of going but was too cowardly to tell you so used poor nan as an excuse. he doesn’t deserve anymore of your time - why didn’t he just come out and cancel or say he couldn’t make it?! and this is the second time!

I think I'm going to take a break from the app now, regroup and then maybe try again in a month or two. Spring is coming and I've lots I want to do with my house and garden. ☀

I would just say “sorry to hear that, I know we had a date pencilled in so assume that doesn’t work for you anymore. Drop me a message when you’re more free and still fancy a drink”. Or something like that. Put the ball in his court and just leave it. You’re not there to be his shoulder to cry on or someone to mindlessly chat to all day.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 well done!

(should clarify that if his nan genuinely has been in some kind of fast and furious car crash and broken that many ribs then i hope she recovers fully. sorry nan!)

Set your location to Mile End and you’ll probably find one 😉😂 no word of a lie I have a friend of a friend who wanted a super tall, blonde Swedish looking man. So she set her location to Sweden (this was back when tinder was new so not sure if you can do this anymore). It worked!

6 hours is a bit of a long drive for a date 😂 This is my problem, I live in a small city where most men wear tracksuits everywhere and the other options are: they look inbred/ridiculous steroid muscles, cross dressers or hillbillies. I think I need to move😂

I live on the outskirts of London and I do have to say the calibre of men on the apps (in terms of looks) is fab in London. I used to set my radius so it covered London. If it just covered my local area, the men were not great at all. I do think that you get a better variety in bigger cities and town... I guess that's quite obvious now I've said it.

yep - the times that i’ve been to major cities and had a nose on tinder i’ve been amazed by the calibre and quality of the men.

being in the south wales valleys is sadly not quite the same 😢
