There's this guy I've been emailing with for a few weeks on and off. He's definitely piqued my interest. Well, a couple days ago he asked me if I wanted to go to dinner during the week. I just replied that I may have some time open, and to call me (I gave him my #). We've never talked on the phone before so I wasn't going to get specific about dinner...I need a phone call first. Well, two days have passed and he didn't call or respond but then today I got an email from him saying:
"Hi, I will try and call you tonight..Wednesday still good?"
...He'll "try" to call me?! he better TRY a little harder. lol... I never even mentioned Wednesday. I'm annoyed. I'm not going to plan for dinner with someone I haven't even talked to on the phone. What's he thinking!!

He sounds like he's juggling.
Maybe it's a case of so many women, so little time? He definitely sounds like he's doing this via "short-hand." He probably thought Wednesday would be good so he threw it out there. Then when he calls, you'll either plan on Wed. and discuss specifics of where you'll meet, or you'll say you can't meet and choose another mutually agreed-upon day.
Either way, he sounds like he's approaching this from an ultra casual and laid-back frame of mind.
I'm going through the same thing with a guy and my situation almost mirrors yours, except he hasn't thrown out a date and we're only supposed to meet for coffee (if we ever do meet).
I feel you. I know it's a pain in part because OLD is such a meat market these days!
