Just need to get this out as it’s doing my head in.
I’ve been eternally single (had a fling a while back and have DS 2.2) always been a lone parent and I am happy/ok with it, It’s the way it is.
Anyway, meet a guy, all seemed fine, we get on, he has taken me out, we’ve seen my friends etc .. He is divorced 2x older kids, all amicable.
He has stayed at mine. He has met DS and no joke it has all been lovely. I like him, and yes fancy him which is a big thing for me.
So, been seeing each other only a couple of months, 2-3 times a week.
Yesterday, he leaves in the morning and asks me if I want to come over to his in the afternoon, I say I have friends coming over so I will let him know and obvs my DS needs to be in bed by 7pm and I work full time so would have to be home by 7:30am this morning. Ok fine.
Friends didn’t leave until 5.30pm. I call him and say it’s getting late (he lives 45mins away) so we will not come over, sorry etc .. let’s see each other in the week.
Well, an hour later I get the shittiest of texts saying he doesn’t think I want to go over to his (haven’t been there yet due to things going on with my life/DS etc). I said that is ridiculous and not the case, it just wasn’t great timing, sorry. I said .. how about another time then, I am sorry (again!), he just said “MAYBE!!!!” But all quite narky … I left it at that, but I am upset and angry today. I doubt I will hear from him again, just angry at myself for thinking this “might” have actually gone somewhere.
WHAT the fuck have I done wrong here? …. Or is this just another one to just move on from. Feeling quite sad

Blimey! And you guessed without me saying where I met him Blush

Ok - so just ignore if he contacts etc ...

I'm being pathetic I know but I can't believe what's happened in a space of 24hrs!!!

Op don't give that kind of thought process any head space. Needy doesn't necessarily equal psycho who is going to come and do you physical harm. It's entirely likely that he's just needy and insecure. He's not actually said or done anything scary, and you've clocked his neediness early on so it's easy to just say that it's not working for you and to move on.

I must admit that the first thing I thought was maybe he was disappointed, maybe he was really looking forward to seeing you and having you at his place. If everything else is good at this stage I'd leave him to cool off/get over it a bit. I really wouldn't automatically bin him just on a couple of texts...the tone of texts can be completely misinterpreted, if in doubt ring and speak to him.
