How often do you guys get stood up?

Young women can be flakey. It is what it is. I got stood up over the weekend, but I had 2 other girls on backup. Better ones actually, so it was fine. And guess who is blowing up my phone now? /lulz. You gotta take the bad with the good. Sometimes, you are on a hot streak, sometimes you’re on cold streak. Equanimity is the rule.

Stood up for what? Dates?

What had you planned?

This is why I don't tell them where I'll be and expect them to show up. Women are not capable of that.

I tell them where I'm going and then "I'll pick you up at (thirty minutes beforehand)." If you let them make the choice, their flighty little mind will be distracted by something shiny and they'll forget.

I got a disgustingly late chick once, two hours or so, and we agreed to meet early (bar was opening and empty as fuck). I was bored to death, got completely out of any possible mindset for gaming her, and she showed up with three friends after it, making it impossible to fclose. That was about it. I suppose I got lucky but 6 is a bit too much.

How are you getting the chicks' contacts man? And how are you planning the dates?

Don't give it a lot of time between getting the number and the date, the thrill that led her to giving you her number will fade and it'll be hard to regain it through texting;
Invite HER out, don't tag her along to something you'll be already doing. You CAN do just that but don't tell her. When she shows up you can say you bumped into some friends;
Having too much time before the date with the date set is hellish. Her hamster might be creating expectations that you'll fail to fulfill, or might be giving her terrible anxieties about meeting you that she'll try to solve by talking and demanding way too much attention. The feasible days for setting a date are today, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. I've gone as far as refusing reschedules for "the next week" and reaching out to her then;
Plausible deniability is important as fuck. Don't make it overt for her that by meeting you she's complying to sexual escalation. Truth is she probably is (mainly if it's tinder), but she's rather pretending otherwise.
