Dating is so HARD!

Well, it looks like my good ol' yearly try at dating has ended the way it usually does! I have been out with this guy from Kansas twice and thought things were going good. He would email and call me fairly regularly. He even called me this past weekend when he went home to visit his daughter.
I made the mistake of asking HIM if he wanted to get together this week. We agreed on Thursday. I also made the mistake of asking HIM if he wanted to go with me and some friends to Ft. Worth next weekend. He was always talking about how he wanted me to show him all the sights in the area, so we thought we would show him around!
This morning I got an email this morning cancelling tonight's date and no mention of re-scheduling. He said he was too tired. I am betting he has met someone else. I should have followed my own advice and let HIM do the asking!!
Dating at the age of 42 is so HARD!

Don't give up yet - if he is meant to be and right for you then he will be - you didn't do anything wrong. Maybe he is really tired?

Just keep us posted and hang in there. I am 44 so I know just what you mean!

Thanks. I have been kinda kicking myself for "chasing" him. I decided to email him back and told him to get some rest and have a good weekend. That way the ball is back in his court. We shall see. He has seemed kinda down since he got back from visiting his kids, so who knows.
