He is ALWAYS perfectly excusable

There’s this guy, we’ve only been seeing each other for 6 weeks and we are completely using one another for our own personal reasons and we are both fine with that.

However, in just 6 weeks his cancelled 3 times! Which is a problem for me, I don’t like ending up doing nothing because I feel I can’t then go out with friends when I’ve already said I’m busy in case they feel I’m using them and I really like my friends and wouldn’t want them to feel second best, so if I’ve arranged to not go out with them I don’t then change my mind as I think it looks bad so end up sitting at home doing nothing.

Everytime though his had a perfect excuse as to why his cancelled….everything conveniently happens, for instance I was supposed to go to his, he said he was I’ll but I was around the corner so drove past anyway and discovered his car wasn’t there- so to me he was obviously out with his mates instead. Which is fine if he had just said he wanted to do that, so then I could have made other plans too.
When I said about his car not being there, conveniently, his brothers car had broken down and he was using it which is why it wasn’t at his house and he says he was home as he was ill.

His lying isn’t he? I don’t really care about him and he doesn’t care about me, but I hate people wasting my time regardless of the relationship so told him I’m not interested in hanging out with him anymore.

In the back of mind I do think maybe it’s genuine reasons though, but surly not…3 different times in 6 weeks just can’t be right? Right?

"Im not lying to myself, don’t forget this has only been 6 weeks, not 6 months so I think investment is a very strong word for something with such a short time span, I genuinely couldn’t give a shit."

You went to check if his car was still there. Stop kidding yourself.

Why would you think I’m under 17?
Did you not know that women also enjoy casual sex and someone to hang out with?

But men just enjoy the sex, not the hanging out. Men view casual sex in a fundamentally different way to women, for very good biological reasons. They will have sex with pretty much any woman that offers, they dont have to like the woman or even view the woman as a real person with feelings. If you turned up, had sex with the guy then left without saying anything it wouldn't make any difference, in fact he'd probably prefer it as its less effort for him.

This isn't to be harsh - its freeing once you realise that a guy doesn't have to like you or respect you at all to have sex with you, and you cant make a guy like you by having sex with him.

Block this guy and if you are looking for a mutually respectful relationship then these types of arrangements are just never going to work.
