Sister is in a dilemma and I have no advice

To preface, I’m useless with relationship advice. My sisters been on 7 dates with a doctor, she likes him A LOT. They get on and have a lot in common. Issues she’s having are that he can take up to a day or two to reply to her messages, which obvs creates inconsistency. He said from the off he’s a bad texter. But she didn’t think it was this bad.

They went on a date and had a make out session in his car, for like an hour according to her. So she texted him to say thanks for bringing her home etc on the Tuesday evening. He then replied on Friday saying that his aunty in another country had passed away and he was unable to text back sooner. She said they normally always plan another date while they’re together but this time he didn’t ask. She now doesn’t know how or whether to ask if he’s free this week.

I’ve told her to just ask the worst he can say is I’m not free no.

thoughts?

What do you feel doesn’t add up? They went for dinner, he warned her from the off he’s a bad texter and disorganised

Or can't text regularly cos his wife is around. You said she's checked the GMC has she seen his name or a photo. Seeing his name proves nothing. I could call myself by my GPs name & you'd 'find me' on the GMC. A few more Google searches and you'd find a photo showing a completely different, genuine doctor.

Scammers and fantasists are never call centre workers or shop staff they're always things like doctors.

The dead Auntie in another country? A cover for being out of the country during the school holidays?

Maybe we're all jaded & cynical or maybe we've just all heard stories like this once too often
