Well it is a big deal for some people. I don't bring men home to meet my family AT ALL. They've only met my exhusband and one other guy and the only reason they met the other guy was we were on our way up north for a holiday weekend and I had to make an appearance at a family party.

I wouldn't introduce a date to friends until we were established. Some people are not comfortable with that.

Hmmm sounded like a crappy trip, I don't know that someone who wasn't interested in you would bother to let you know that he had to reschedule they usually just never email again. I think he still sounds interested in you.

I agree with Momma and Sally, he brought up the date and asked to reschedule. Wouldn't it have been easier to just not respond if he weren't interested? My advice would be to email him back, say you were sorry his trip was a bust and tell him he has your number to call you about re-scheduling. That way the ball is back in his court and if he calls you'll have your answer instead of wondering if he was just trying to get out of the date.

In the meantime keep looking, someone suggested trying signing up on some other sites, but not joining. I think that's an excellent idea. It's been my experience that when you're new on a site you get a lot of attention....that's always good for a girl's ego.

All the best,

Hi Sparkle,

Did you email him back? He may still be interested since he mentioned rescheduling, but I can understand you feeling as you do when it is another week away! But if he travels alot, that may be all he can do. Some of the guys I am seeing now, here and there, have really busy schedules and we seem to have a hard time getting together sometimes, but they continue to call, so I'm still seeing a couple of them. But I've been letting them call me. It is easier this way when one drops out, but then I think, well it's his loss!

Good luck and keep meeting others!

I wouldn't reply to this either but than what do I know - I am still single.
To me - I need to see some interest and some effort and I don't notice that in his e-mail. Canceling dates at the last minute is never a good sign in my book unless he has a death in his family or he is ill himself.
Sure you can go one step further and reply to him and "see what happens" but I wouldn't do it.

I'd continue setting up "other dates" and if this guy wants to take you out next week, great, let him contact you and set it up. Don't even think about it from here out. Send him a note and say ok, here's my number, call me early next week and we'll set it up - that's it, done. If he can't follow "simple instructions" then forget it. In the meantime try hard not to think about if you'll end up actually going out. It sucks but seriously the more you date others the less of a focus and disapointment these other guys will be you actually like. Until some guy says Sparkle, I want to date you and only you exclusively you need to keep yourself busy - good luck!!!!
