That's a substantial chunk of time to waste. Even without marriage considerations on the table, it's still a rude way to treat someone. If we include marriage considerations, that kind of disregard for people's time is often a red flag that would turn people off to the match.

That being said, SILVERx, publicly shaming the individual for a personal offense isn't fair or kind. If on the off-chance they had a valid reason for ghosting (e.g., tyrant parents found them out, you were creepy, life got in the way, etc.), they'll be outcast over something that wasn't their fault. So consider instead resolving your concerns with her privately before bringing them to a public forum. You could even give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she had a good reason for ghosting, unlikely though that is nowadays.

So, I guess what I'm saying is: @Katie_Kitty, have some empathy for SILVERx, and @SILVERx, give SinisterGold the benefit of the doubt, or resolve your concerns privately with her. I'm not seeing any useful benefit to be gained in arguing the matter publicly.

Video games are a waste of time, So I don't really agree with the whole time wasting thing to be upset about.

It is a good lesson though for everyone to see. Match Making, hookup, dating whatever. It is not a marriage, and some people just can't handle putting people down easily. I'm not saying anyone is at fault...but some people go into stuff like this with heart on the line and it is easily hurt. The person clearly did not like him, and that is fine. They was not brave enough to turn him down, that could be because she had to deal with unstable guys before. Could be many reasons why she picked to do it like this. It is hard, but being understanding and just moving on is the best thing to do.
