Seems I'm finding all the ways to fall apart in the way of dating. Things have a way of crumbling before they even really get started.
The latest guy that I've been talking to has already bailed on me three times in the last few days. We started talking/texting a little over a week ago. Maybe two weeks ... I've lost track. Anyway, the first time, he wanted to accompany me to my cousin's fundraiser at her school. I was fine with it, but told myself not to get my hopes up. So when he texted me that day saying he had forgotten about his son's soccer game, I wasn't surprised. Then, says he wants to make it up to me and take me to dinner some time during the week. I thought that would be perfect because I had errands in town after work on Wednesday. We agree to meet after I was done and so the night comes and I get to my destination, Forever 21, earlier than expected. I text him that I would be done soon (since the dress I was looking for found me first) and then put my phone in my bag while I peruse the store a little more. So, before going to check out, I pull out my phone and notice a missed call from Mr. I want to take you to dinner. I call him back and I ask "where are you" playfully, since I was getting hungry and anxious to meet. He responds with "please don't hate me" and I figure, he's bailing. Again. For the second time. He had a legitimate excuse (family emergency), so I took it gracefully and told him not to worry about it. Duty calls.
The third time is happening to me right now.
This morning, I receive a text from him asking what I'm going to do after work. I was surprised since we had made plans the night before to go to dinner tomorrow night. I respond with "its First Friday." He hadn't been to one before so I gave him the rundown. Long story made short, he asked if he could join us tonight and I was delighted to get a sooner chance to meet. So, the day goes on and we are texting here and there. Keeping it light and fun until he says that he may have to work late. Here is where I start to have doubts. He apologizes and promises to make it up to me.
For me, after the third diss, I tend to start getting over it. I mean, we haven't even met in person yet and he's already dissed me three times. Promises of dinner tomorrow are looking bleak and I am not sure I even want to deal with this anymore.
You might be thinking, what made me this way? Well, those stories will be in future posts. One doozy of a story comes to mind. I will share it another time.
Have a wonderful Friday night, all! xoxo
It's a good thing you didn't hook up with this guy. It would suck to be involved with someone you can't count on. I've had boyfriends in the past that were never there for me... in good times and in bad :( They made me feel not worthy of their time and not anyone special. Thumbs down to this loser.
ReplyDeleteUgh, tell me about it! I'm sorry you had to go through all those bad ones to finally get the good one! But, you did and he's definitely a good one =)
DeleteI'm noticing a trend in your topics. I can't help but wonder why you are hyper-evaluating the men that don't seem to reciprocate your interest, instead of evaluating why you are attracted to them and seek their attention. Once you figure that out, you harness a lot more control over your relationship fate and happiness. Good luck.
