Hi everyone

Hoping some of you - guys espec - might be able to shed some light on my predicament.

I had a first date with a great guy Friday afternoon. We had heaps to talk about; it was non-stop laughter and quite a bit of chemistry. He arranged to see me again Sunday before the date had ended. We had a small kiss goodbye.

He called me about 10 minutes after the date to say that he wanted to make sure I knew that he had really enjoyed the date and how glad he was that we had finally met.

He called me the next day to say hi and to see how I was, and left a message that he would talk to me soon. I returned that call, but haven't heard from him since.

We were supposed to go out this afternoon and I called him this morning to confirm that we were still going. 6 hours later, he still hasn't called.

What should I do if he doesn't ring at all today? or if he calls now, wanting to catch up tonight? Technically the afternoon isn't over so he may still call, but the tension is killing me.

All comments and advice is welcome.

something must have happened then

nothing more you can do then wait for him to call.

if he doesn't, then there is no love lost.
and if he does call, find out why he did not make it this afternoon. ask what the reason is and from there decide where to go with this man and perhaps new relationship.

best of luck.

Agree with that nuts thumbs up

Unless he's been run over by a bus or kidnapped by aliens, there's no excuse not to have called and either cancelled the arrangement or postponed it if necessary.

It's just common courtesy.

We try to see reasons behind this type of thing, but usually there aren't any.

He most likely has cold feet and not a lot of manners.

The plot thickens:

He called about 10 minutes after I posted the original post. No apologies for not calling sooner, and wanted to know was I still free tonight.

Now however, he is saying that he is very tired and not feeling the best. He still wants to catch up tonight he says. He was going to shower and shave and call me back in 15 minutes. That was an hour ago.

What gives?

Oh boy roll eyes

Sorry, but I'd want someone to be just as excited about seeing me as me, him.

If you really want some advice daisy, tell him to naff off, he's wasted enough of your time very mad

What gives? You...if you allow someone to control you like this.

That's not a normal way to behave at the start of something.

That's the way you behave when you're trying to hide something.

Like a wife and a mistress.

Things like this don't get better, they get worse.

I think you have enough information now.

Forget it, Daisy. Walk away, move on, find something better to do.

hug

UPDATE:

He finally called, and I said "Look, if you have cold feet or just want to cancel, just say so."

He laughed and said that he didn't have cold feet but just that he wasn't feeling well. He said that he wasn't sure that he would be very good company. I told him I was dressed and ready to go and straight away he said: "Well, if you're dressed, we'll go out." But he didn't sound enthused and I wasn't going to force him. I said that I could only be guided by him.

He elected to cancel and then said he had to go. He sounded a bit annoyed too, like I had pushed the issue when I shouldn't have, or had been too pushy.

Oh boy...
