Sorry to read the date didn't happen. I was looking forward to a positive post about your day!
To do something like that and make an arrangement and not turn up so sucks! People like that are not worth knowing, and best not be around a person like that anyway!
For any further dates, I would also recommend a confirmation 24 or 12 hours before. Maybe it was a ploy by the Dating site or even the coffee shop - to drum up business.
Anyway, at least you are out there trying to work towards a relationship etc - just a numbers game and if you are going to be on a dating site, you should really be stating your interests and what you are looking for
