to give up on men completely?

After allowing a man to take away all my confidence and self esteem and then walking out on me. Leaving me depressed and struggling to cope with the slightest change to plan.
I decided its time to give dating another go, got chatting to a guy on the internet, he seems nice.
Arranged to meet him tomorrow, lots of messing about on my part as I have 2 kids and needed to make childcare arrangements etc.
I suddenly remembered I have enrolled DS on gymnastics course and it starts tomorrow, don't want him to miss first one and its all paid for.
Asked guy if we can move date to an hr later and he said the grand prix starts so let's make it another time.....

AIBU to feel he clearly ain't that bothered about me if he can't miss it for an hr? And be annoyed that I've paid for and told the kids they r going to a babysitter they r looking forward to? And to just stick the ridiculous idea that I should bother dating again?
Or am I somewhat over sensitive and since I needed to move the time I should roll with it?

Don't give up on all guys, just that one.

He probably thinks its the other way round

Don't give up on men all together!

Maybe you've had a lucky escape if he turns out to be a Grand Prix bore like some men I know. Grin

I wouldn't push it, let him suggest another date.

I think on this occasion you are being over sensitive. You wanted to move the agreed time and it didn't suit him - not the end of the world.

Maybe he's a huge F1 fan. He hasn't even met you so you can't expect him to sacrifice it for you - annoying about the child care arrangements but, again, not his fault.

If you like him give him another chance.

Hmmm. I think YABU.

You were the one that delayed it to a time that didn't suit him.

Flojo1979 · 01/09/2012 17:56

Ok fair enough.
Good point ragwort maybe we don't have much in common after all!

Maybe I'm not thick skinned enough for this anymore?

You were the one that changed the time. The new time wasn't convenient for him. It's your fault tbh.
