Last week, I was supposed to meet a guy for the first time.

Settle down, girl. 'Life' happens, wouldn't you agree? You and he have already been able to connect enough to somewhat work around 'life'. So, when he calls, tell him honestly what's going on in yours, tell him how much you're looking forward to the date, and, if that doesn't fit w/in your plans/obligations, suggest an alternative. He'll either take the option or not. From what you've posted so far, I'd bet your salary he'll take the option.

Yep, I agree with arch.

Do you mean that it would be easy for him to "forget" that you have plans this week? Aren't you going to have to cancel this weeks plans with him? I'm confused :(

Is there any way around cancelling or, is Friday the actual day of your moms birthday? Couldn't you explain that you've had these plans for a week and you'd rather not cancel? I don't know about your mom and your sis but, mine would tell me to go out on the date.

I say, if you decide to cancel, this guy should understand. After all, he cancelled the last time, right?

Shy,

You know that I will be the dissenting voice here. :) I don't think that it should be such a huge deal, personally. But the more time that I spend on this board the more I realize that my dating experience is not typical in many ways.

I am sorry that your family threw a monkey wrench in your plans. It almost sounds to me like you do not get prioritized because you have your life in order.

Good luck with the move and the man.

I hate the coffee thing too, mostly because I don't drink coffee.

You are right- I'm the one who has to do all the changing around and hard work because they know I can handle it.

Here is what you need to do - Tell your mum that you can't help her move because you need to study for an exam. Tell your sister that you can't go for coffee because you are helping your mum move, for her birthday. Tell your man that your mum is helping your sister with ice cream. Tell your sister to tell your mum that you are going on a date so she doesn't need to help you study or move the ice cream. Tell your mum to tell your sister to tell your man that you like him and would love to help him study over a coffee. What was the question again?

I'm not quite sure how to take that, Hal.
