Yes, it has happened to me in (getting stuck with hotel bills) in Philadelphia more than once and Boston once. Sometimes it’s a guy you’ve met and has been around. No excuse for bad manners. We all know life intervenes. Ghosting, or blocking or deleting membership. That last one is somewhat common especially with new guys. The idea of wrestling or fighting is exciting, but when the rubber hits the road to commit they get cold feet or shriveled …. My general rule of thumb now is not to contact new guys for a few weeks to see if they stick. If they reach out fine, but the melt factor is high there too.
So we had been planning this meet since January and today was the day to meet. I paid for the hotel reservations for two nights. We'll, I went to check our messages and saw that he was no longer a member. And when I got a response from the number he gave me they said wrong number...
I told him things come up that are out of our control and I wouldn't be upset if he couldn't make it. However I am disappointed of the nature to which he couldn't make it by flat out deleting his whole membership to avoid having to say anything to me.
So now I've got a hotel for two nights by myself and it's non-refundable -_-
I can't even give him a negative recommendation and so he doesn't pull this on someone else.

Has anyone else had this happen?
