No offense, but why would you want to even mess around with someone who would play a silly game like that? I would never have canceled a date with someone two hours beforehand unless something REALLY had come up, and I would have some kind of alternative in mind, if possible. Cheap manipulation to "test" someone like that is just wrong, imo, and someone like that should be avoided. Even stuff happens on it's own to give you a feel for a person's "mettle"...you don't have to manufacture something. Just my two cents. :)
I'd have to agree with you on this. I had this happen once about two hours before we were supposed to get together. I never even considered calling her back. A test? More like a game and I'm not interested in games.
I think you are right, but I still think that testing like I described is not uncommon.
