I posted here before to see if I was unreasonable for my bday and this is an update on how things unfolded.
He never showed up for my bday he said he is sick and went out at his local shisha in the evening then told me he is struggling financially and wants to meet me when he can buy me a proper gift and 6 weeks passed with no meeting at all ,he missed valentine's as well after promising he will meet me and compensate for my bday ,for 3 or these weekends every Saturday he had problems with his cousin sorting out depts in Birmingham.He told me he has been distant because of his financial situation and will meet once it's better but I got very upset and left him this sunday.my self respect is saying you had enough but a voice says was he really having problems ?I don't want to be naive but if one can't meet you on Saturday they can meet on Sunday for a coffee for example and I offered to go to him or pay for the taxi fare.

Sounds like he was ghosting you and you wouldnt take the hint OP. Stop wasting energy on this person. You don't have a relationship.

I'm.sorry man..gather up your girlfriend's and have a night out or something.

Didn’t see your previous thread, but here you sound desperate and sad.
Please have more self respect and cut this guy loose.

No idea about your previous thread, but it’s clear this guy isn’t that into you. Move on

@itsthetea I broke up with him I did too much for his bday and him in general and was hurting and justifying him for 6 whole weeks and lowered my standards by a lot just to keep him

You are being naive

whoever he is he isn’t a friend of yours and you need to block him out of your life

Wow your standards are in the basement. A guy who is interested in you makes an effort. This guy is at best not interested and at worst had another partner.

I don’t know the background to this. But he’s not interested in you. You’re begging him for attention and even offering to pay…. And he just doesn’t care.

Stop flogging a dead horse, pick your self worth up, and have fun doing something else.
