Forget him. Believe me if he was interested, no rain, sleet, snow, broken bones, tornados, sickness or work could stop him from interacting with you professor

sounds like you are having some sort of player...
if you are interested..and feel like wasting some time...you can play his game for a whilecool but do it on your own terms...dont call him...let him do it...you be the one to cancel dates..for no reasons...play hard to get and see how it goes...he might change the tactics...but he will remain a player..be aware..bouquet

What I have done, once I realize there is not interest of him or he is kind of playing.
I would erase his e mail (even blocked it), delete his phone's numbers and forget about him. If he calls again maybe I might answer maybe not but I do not like to go for second opportunities.

I tend to agree with the general consensus here. He is in a marriage/relationship by the sounds of it. Even if not, he is taking you for a ride, in my view, love.

Get rid!

If you want to be sure,about him,do some research (yourself,or private investigator) quote=keepinitsimple]I recently get to know this guy, he's 10 years older than I, working as one of the top executives, busy, works from approx 9am-9pm (I think). Well, here goes the story:

The 1st time we met, it was okay...just had coffee no dinner, decided not to rush into things. And we agreed to meet again the next time.

The following 2 planned dates were cancelled flat out coz he was busy and unwell, had sudden company function, whatnots. They were true, coz he showed me some photos on 2nd date.

In between the days, he'd text me, but never called, saying that he missed me, but I'm puzzled outta my wits: why is it so hard to just call? Does he actually mean what he's been saying?

2nd date was a dinner...pretty alright (that was when I witnessed The Germans slain England). We kissed (I know...so stupid of me to give it too quickly, but I don't regret it that much). Period, the evening ended.

And the following week had been tumultous. He hardly called me (despite his habit of telling me how much he missed me). It ALWAYS took him ages (literally) to reply my sms. EVERY SINGLE time I called, he never picked it up and never bothered to call back or ask what was the matter. And so far, 4 out of 6 planned dates ended up being cancelled and 3 out of 4 were coz he couldn't make it. What frustrates me even more was on the last 'supposed' date, he didn't show the courtesy of calling or texting me to cancel. It was I who asked him first about where he was 30 minutes before the stipulated time. And the reply that came was surprisingly expected "Sorry baby, I can not come". PERIOD. I had to ask what was the matter then he explained that he had to be with his friend who was still unconscious after breaking his back an hour before. I mean, he could've called or sms, no? Or is it just me who's too particular?

I'm not exactly known for patience (I think), but with reasonable excuse and sincerity, you'll find me pretty level-headed.

Alas today, I decided not to take anymore crap from this guy after he told me he can't meet me again this weekend coz he has company gathering in Bali (imagine how envious i get! haha...) I believe I deserve someone who could at least spare 5 minutes in his busy day just to hear my voice, to just chat for a little while. Shouldn't it take a person only seconds to reply an sms from a special person? Shouldn't you feel the burning urge to call this special person after seeing '3 missed calls' on ur phone? That, apparently, was not the case with this man...

So, if anyone of my fellow cs-ers believe in the same thing as I do, kindly show ur encouragement for me in this state of confusion, that'll be truly appreciated. However, if u have different views, kindly speak up too. After all, more brains is better than only one, right?

Thank you so much for reading til thus far, Cheers sunshine! =)

Things happen with work that demand immediate attention sometimes. But with the frequency and at such short notice as you describe, I'd be amazed if this guy wasn't either married/in a relationship or playing you along - in fact I'd eat my hat if he wasn't.

So... assuming I have to eat my hat... what sort of person does 'he' seem to be? Not a very good manager, that's for sure: there's a massive amount of 'fire-fighting' going on, all the planning seems to be short-term, there seems to be zero delegation and people management and no sense of work-life balance. Either he's hanging on to his job 'by the skin of his teeth' or he's heading for a heart attack, or both. That's my perspective.... it may not be the correct one. The man is total chaos - or a player.

Uh huh...totally agree about him being a total jerk, a lousy planner / manager. He didn't show any respect for my time! I know he's busy and all, but still...Last night, after telling him i've had enough of his nonsense, today he still had the nerve to text me like nothing happened. I was blown outta my frackin mind! I mean, did he not register the seriousness of the tone in my sms? And he didn't even have the courtesy to reply my serious text immediately last night. RIDICULOUS. This guy obviously didn't take me seriously! Anyway, I'm glad I've done the right thing before he hurt me even more. Thank you for each and everyone of your encouragement! Hugs & kisses to y'all lips kiss

Lee..........

You are obviously a very impressionable person as you seem overawed by this guys job............. forget about the job, i would bet my life that is all he talked about when he was with you conversing himself and his job !!!!!!!!!
Take away his job and the weekend in Bali( where he is taking her indoors with him roll eyes ) and what have you left........ a not so nice person who does not have any respect for you, save yourself for someone who deserves you hun............ hug

At the very least, he has no time for a relationship.

At the worst, he's married or involved and stringing you along.

Never hang around or invest much emotionally until your sure that you are a priority and not just an option.

Honey Istopped reading half way threw your novel. Girl, this guy is a joke, as well as already involve with someone else. Most likely married. Anytime sweetie a man who has more excuses than a man in jail when it comes to you,he's full of himself and just not that truly into you from the start. These men are called "hunters" sweetie, and they're called that for a reason. Drop him like the bad habit he is and find you someone more worthy. Good Luck. cheering

I think this guy should take some time off his busy schedule...not to date...but for some LESSONS IN COURTESY!!! But...working 9 to 9 and with so many cancellations and last minute rebuffs: I'd say he is married or taken. You have given him enough time to prove himself, I would move on. dunno
