Making Things Right If I Made A Mistake

I am friends with a guy who really liked me and wanted to be more than friends. All this started about a month ago. At that time, there was a lot going on in my life and I really do like him, but the timing was always bad when he wanted to do something. After a while, he stopped asking me to go out and we have continued to hang out as friends. I am really interested in dating him, but I don't know how to explain what happened and why I'm ready to date him now. The situation I'm in now is due to my stupidity and lack of communication. I know he's still interested, but I'm sure he's a little hurt about how I dealt with the whole situation. I've asked him to do something one of these nights, but his job makes it hard to plan anything right now, but he did seem interested. I think I have a chance to make amends, but there will be a lot of hard work on my part to make things right. Does anyone have any advice on how I can work to make things better and not make another mistake and throw this all away? We get along so well and I know we would have a spectacular relationship. Thanks!!!

It's about honesty and reliability.

My advice is to be honest with him about why you couldn't date him when he wanted to. I'm going through the same thing in reverse - and I really appreciated the guy explaining to me that his head is not in the right place right now - I'll give him a chance because I understand where he is. If that guy clearly understands you weren't ready - it might make him trust you a little faster.
