Hi all, I really should know what to do, I've been online dating for years and always know what to do! If it was someone on here I'd know exactly what to say!
Got chatting to someone online, never had so much in common with someone and chats have been amazing. We tried to arrange a date the other week and he was a bit flakey - nothing major, I decided to give him a chance. And then we were supposed to meet tonight - eagerness from both sides, his idea etc.
I asked yesterday if he wanted to still meet, hasn't replied until this morning (was preparing myself for flakiness or excuse).
Says he has an issue with his dog, and if he's telling the truth then that's sad and understand. But he said he doesn't want to leave it on it's own. In past conversations he says that his ex is moving out at the beginning of next month so the pet wouldn't be on it's own!
If he's telling the truth I need to reply in a way that won't stop him from messaging in the future. But I want to keep it brief and to the point so he knows I'm not sure about his excuse.
So I was thinking along the lines of 'I'm sorry to hear about your dog. I'll leave it up to you to message if you want to meet'
Due to the first flakiness I told myself I'd just block if I got messed about, but what if I'm wrong??
God... shall I just move on?
