Was this an excuse?

I am very suspicious of guys behaviours, especially after some bad luck. Need some perspective.

I met a guy OLD. We chatted for a week Or so via text and then arranged to meet the following week -pre-lockdown - for food, on the last day before lockdown. Unfortunately I was contacted by track and trace a few days before and had to isolate. Date paused.

We text everyday. Not masses amount but enough to get to know each other. Me isolation ended on Wednesday and we arranged To go on a walk on Sunday afternoon, time to be decided on the day due to weather . He also got the keys to his new house on Thursday, so is excited to move in and start doing it up.

I texted his this morning and asked if he still wanted to meet up. No reply till 2 pm, but he had not been active in WhatsApp since last night. he informed me he had been texted by track and trace and had to isolate for 2 weeks. So again date paused. Bad luck.

We have had a few texts since. He says he is going to spend the time painting his new house and had to arrange for everything to be packed up and moved today, as his flat lease ends next week, halfway through his isolation.

Now he could be telling the truth, but I am so jagged by lying men at the moment I am not too sure it’s an excuse.

Hard to tell really but if your spy-de-senses are suspicious and you're not in the mood for it you are within your rights to go cold on the relationship even if he's not lying. It sounds like you've had a bad time with men lately. Time for a break and focus on you?

Thanks. I think my spy senses need realigned. Last guy my suspicions did cloud it for me. I am sure he was honest, but spent Ages trying to find flaws.

It does seem like an excuse to be honest. Why would he wait for you to get in touch? Surely if he found out on the day you had arranged to mee he’d tell you.
