To be pissed off with new guy I'm "seeing"

[Yetanothernamechange1234]

So we've been kind of seeing each other a month or so and tonight he was supposed to be coming over at 8 for a few drinks and watch a film; all texting fine all day,last message him asking me what I wanted him to bring around;until my phone ran out of battery at 430ish; text him at 6 apologising once I'd got home and charged it.hour later he texts saying he's going out with friends and car has broken down so might not be able to get down unless he can get a lift..I offered to meet him at my nearest train station and come back as my home is only about 10 min walk but bit obscure walk.he said he'd let me know by 730...I'm being played for a twat aren't I? AIBU to be so pissed off? I cancelled plans and got my dd looked after tonight so I could see him!

But kelly he didn't actually cancel - he left her hanging saying 'I might turn up, might not, I'll let you know'. That's just rude and I definitely wouldn't tolerate that, even in the early stages.

OP, don't give him another thought - you're not compatible, go and find somebody who is!

If he's going to leave you hanging after you made childcare arrangements, it shows he doesn't have the common sense and decency to date a single parent. Better you learn this now.

Think you've had a lucky escape if this is the way he treated you at the start. Be different if he had to cancel last minute as something important came up but not the way he did

Nope. He let you down. I don’t believe his car was broken at all, that was just an excuse. He got a better offer and fuck that.

You are worth more than that.

A month in should be the honeymoon period where you’re shagging non-stop and can’t wait to see each other.
He prioritises he’s friends over you and that’s not ok when he made plans with you.

OP you have done the right thing.

It’s better to be single than with a A Twat.

Just look on it as a practice run for the real deal. You've dusted off the cobwebs, readjusted your twat radar, and now you're good to go just in time for 2018!

Exactly! We've not even started the shagging... I'd thought last night would be it! I'm so not the jealous or possessive type and would've completely understood had he just said he was sorry but was going out with friends; but just pissed with the excuses!

High. Maintenance.

I think you're overreacting.

His car has broken down and he did say he would let you know by 7.30 if he could get there or not - it's not like he just didn't show up.

You're a month in, things are supposed to be relaxed.

Tbh I'm not surprised he blocked you on WhatsApp, you sound a bit needy!

You aren’t high maintenance OP, ignore those people who are ok with being a door mat.

I'm least high maintenance person ever! I just want a bit of respect and communication! Why make plans with friends after 630 with a broken car when you are supposed to be somewhere else at 8 a 20 minute journey away? No one meets friends for just an hour so he obviously knew he wasn't going to come over, could have just said and I would've been completely fine with it. I didn't message him giving him a bollocking I just said I was disappointed not to see him and wish he'd let me know earlier so I didn't waste a child free
Night and could've joined my friends

I think you are defo better off "out of it" too - he has been leading you on, a better offer has come up and that ISN'T you being put down, its you escaping from some twat. Him blocking you shows he is worried about something. (Also note you gave impression "sort of" dating for past month.) Say to yourself, I am either "being" dated or I'm not ie none of this shite texting for hours - that is simple to do - you SHOULD be having actual dates! That's my mantra.It confirms the girlfriend status or just a person he texts status............

PS Another thing. No it would NOT have been acceptable for him to cancel your date - you MUST NOT be doormatty - you shouldn't accept he wanted to see his friends instead (yeah, broken down car, yeah, ok ....) He was texting you to say looking forward to date until last min dot com and he thought oooh a better offer has come up - so blocked you in case you could see something!
