We meet only single guys and it's always in public. IMO, he shouldn't be making such requests. Maybe requests such as this is
one reason he's stood up so often.
We've never been stood up, but we have had many cancel shortly before the meeting time (some of the excuses are funny, and lies....one forgot his lie and busted himself on it 2 months later....that was funny
) then never hear back from the guy again.
