"I forgot I already had plans."
| Tue, 11-07-2006 - 11:01pm |
I've mentioned Michael on this board a few times lately...he's the guy I have been very interested in the last couple weeks. Well, yesterday he and I made plans for thursday night (4th date). We chose thursday b/c he had a work conference tuesday and wednesday. He didn't really even sound that excited about getting together which was a turn off. C'mon show a little emotion in your voice. Well, he emailed me this morning and asked if we could do something another night instead. He said he forgot he already had plans. I don't believe him at all... I think he's jerking me around. I think something 'better' came up, probably another date. (Yes, I'm jumping to that conclusion.) I've already had too hard of a time figuring him out and building momentum with this guy. Something was just "off" about him. I just decided at that moment that I'm not really that into him anymore. I replied to him and just said no and that it was time to call it quits.
I just don't have patience for guys jerking me around. If you make a plan then stick to it. Did he really think I was just so into him that I would let him string me along. I've read the book, "He's just not that into you"!! I told my friend this and she's glad I'm not falling into this pattern with guys. I used to puppy-after men I liked. Not anymore.

Since you already were feeling that things just weren't clicking w/ this guy anyway, trust your instincts- NEXT.
Well, like travkitty, I also have double-booked and follow the ettiquette rules that I cancel the second thing I booked.
Regarding dating other people at the same time, I had only been on 3 dates with him and I have been dating other people the whole time. Though, I am not a serial dater. I think if you are dating too many people at once it waters down the quality of interaction...it's impossible to juggle information about 5 different guys/gals. I think he had his plate full and he was coming across generic, if that makes any sense.
It does make sense and I agree - if you are getting the vibe and lots of signs, it probably means he's not interested.
I can see why you did what you did from this additional description. I probably would have given him ONE more chance, but I probably would have regretted it. I'm feeling like I've given too many men too many chances right now, and have wasted too much of my valuable time, frankly.
It's important to pay attention to your instincts I think. I think we know when a guy really isn't all that into us. Rarely is mine wrong when it's negative (and it's almost always wrong when it's positive, sadly) and I wish I paid attention more often. Good for you!
