to be annoyed he ditched me?

[annoyedisright]

Been texting a friend of a friend for a couple of weeks. (He's called Jason and he is hoooot. He's a builder so he has a nice body. Haha) he mainly seems like a nice guy, I think

He wanted to meet up last week but I couldn't due to childcare. He got a bit sulky but was fine in the end. So we arranged to go out tomorrow - his idea, not mine. Only now he's said his mates are going out now so he's going to go out with them instead.

Which, you know I'm not bothered about, if he wants to go out with his mates then fine, but considering he had plans already I think it is a bit rude?

Am I wrong to think well fuck him, I'm not just being "pencilled in until a better offer comes along" and to just tell him to forget it altogether.

Or is that my cynicism from exes being twats and should I just benefit of the doubt?

I've arranged a babysitter who I still have to pay. I now have a boring Friday night with nothing to do and a wasted £30. Urgh, so annoying

Ah, seagreengirl, thanks for pointing that out; I obviously missed it.

I'm a strong believer in being someones first choice. If he can't make time for you or wants to ditch you, let him watch you find someone who will put you first and treat you how you deserve. Don't settle for an arsehole just because he is hot - Life is too short!

Very true, I definitely don't want to be second choice to anyone.

Going with my first instinct and won't be talking to him any further

"Am I wrong to think well fuck him, I'm not just being "pencilled in until a better offer comes along" and to just tell him to forget it altogether."

Not at all.

I find it irritating when children are referred to as baggage. Having baggage means you still have unresolved issues from a previous relationship. It does not ever mean someone's children.

I very much admire your strength OP, so many posters are needy doormats. If a man can't adore the ground you walk on, get rid of.
