Might I recommend an enhancement for this new release?
BeginnerChat, you know, ^ up there ^ is available for your interacting pleasure. You have to be a member to use the chat feature, but, hey, you were looking for a reason to support this great site anyway, right? It costs less than some of the online dating sites previously mentioned AND you are interacting within your target audience - (presumably) triathletes or those who have at least a fleeting interest in it.
Back in the day, Chat was frequented by many regular members. Not a few BT romances were begun in Chat, some even led to marriages. I'd guess that you'd get more people to come out of the woodwork, people who don't otherwise want to leave an i-footprint about their dating lives.
Side note: The Marrieds will still invade the Dating Chat. Buyer beware.

You'd think married people would want singles to get married rather than (modedit) every thread about dating that ever was. Go figure.

Certain marvelous canine-usernamed people are doing a damned good job of trying to revive BeginnerChat to its glory days ...
Thank you, Renee, and may I add my open invitation.
To Chat, and whatever else.

RE: Triathlon Dating Thread Ver 2.0
BY: lisac957 on 2012-04-20 8:56 AM
Allrighty, to get this new thread going again... here's a scenario. Tell me what you think.
I met a guy a few weeks ago (on Match.com - yay) and we've been going out every 2 or 3 days. It's casual, fun, whatever. We went out Tuesday night and at the end of the night he asks when he can see me again. Something is casually mentioned about Thursday, but no plans whatsoever. I actually don't even remember Thursday was mentioned.
Last night he calls and texts while I'm working out. Touch base with him around 10 p.m. and he says he thought we had plans, he had a date of some sort planned for us, thought I stood him up and all this. At first I think he's joking, but don't think he was. I said "I didn't realize we had actual plans" and he says "No worries. Get some rest and I'll talk to you later."
So... am I just a little too laissez faire about things (I may or may not have been accused of this in the past)? I mean, is "yeah maybe something Thursday" considered solid plans to you guys? Or was he reading too much into things and maybe should have actually confirmed before setting something up?

Lisa, if it really was as light as "yeah maybe something Thursday" then no, he's just being an as* wad. Is this "am I in the friend zone guy"? If so I stand by my original advice, he's a clinger.

He should have confirmed it as a date but if he likes you he will take every opportunity to see you. If you said something to the effect of "ya Thursday sounds good" than yes he did have his day set for seeing you. The problem is he should have confirmed the date but didn't.

My advice is don't over-think it. But if you must ...
A guy who actually followed up is better than a guy who says let's do something on Thursday and you never hear from him.
Actions following words is much better than zilch following words. In small ways, he is showing you that he is reliable.

I think you're over-thinking this. It sounds like there was a miscommunication, nothing more, nothing less. Instead of trying to find who was as fault or who caused the miscommunication, just chalk it up to a couple of people who don't know each other all that well and take it from there.

I once had a woman basically ditch me like three times. That's when you know it's not them, it's you.
This one sounds like poor communication skills. And you're in communications so it MUST be his fault.

I agree with what everyone else said. But as long as he didn't get too miffed about it then you're overthinking and things seem fine to me. Besides, I think most guys would rather have too "laissez faire" then coming on too strong and clingy!
