I think you need to at least suggest another recent alternative, but if their reaction is outrage, then it's not a bad way to weed out some people that aren't aware to the hurdles of every day life.
All that being said, I know that online dating involves a lot of flaking and understand the frustrations, but you need to roll with it.
I was cancelled on at 802 for an 8 date using the same excuse. I was particularly flustered by the timing of it as I had made a 20 minute drive on top of getting ready.
I remember saying sorry if your dog is sick, but I'm literally walking to our date this second, so if you'd actually like to reschedule then make the effort. Never heard from her again
That was the night I hooked up with the 22 year old, so it all worked out for the best, but that cancellation was particularly frustrating
