It's not any different anywhere you meet a women. They are 95% flakes and my chick friends even tell me how often they do it. It all comes down to the fact that chicks are giant pussies. None of them can just say NO. It's hilarious they can't even say NO online.
I say you saved yourself cash. So far since March I have been out on around 8 first dates with online chicks, 2 of them got a second date, and 1 a third date and that's about it. The 3 date chick I was strictly trying to bang cause she was cute, but I knew she was a gold digger. It's all just a giant mess. Chicks have so many options everywhere they can flake whenever they want. I would say if you said yes lets get a drink to a fat chick she would not flake haha.
The around 10 chicks since March I have gotten numbers from either in Bars, Events, or on the street. I have 0 first dates. Every damn one of them flaked on me. Given 3-4 of those I could have banged first night, but I pussed out thinking it could be more. Not anymore all about banging, but I do admit I am in a severe dry spell a 5 is almost looking tempting but I just can't do it to myself.
It's really makes my EX tempting as we broke up on really good terms. It's a giant dating $hit show out there. Oh and on deleting the numbers. Yup that is what you have to do. I am at the point if a chick does not txt me back in lets say 6 hrs. DELETED. Not worth the damn trouble as they are obviously not that interested.
