This is someone else, trying to keep my options open!
This is a guy from an app who works literally 5 minutes walk from where I work (maybe that's not a good thing)
I suggested meeting one day after work and he seemed keen, it was arranged and then a couple of hours into the day he messaged saying there was a family emergency so he couldn't, but genuinely wanted to rearrange.
I said that was fine and asked when he could do.
He replied with another day for this week.
Then yesterday he said he was really sorry but he'd gotten his dates mixed up, could we do the day afterwards instead.
So he has given other options, however seems flaky before I've even met him, not sure..
What would you do?

God no! And you say he's a good looking man! Is he though? Do you even know it's his pictures, hence why he's cancelling.

Nah throw this one back!

Wooloohooloo · 30/01/2024 22:30

Block and delete.

mumda · 30/01/2024 22:31

Nah. Stuff him

Feeltherainonyourskin · 30/01/2024 22:37

Yep, I don't even know what I was thinking tbh! Cringe fest.
That's a very good point, they sound like generic lines he could be saying to anyone.
Urgh!

Absolutely definitely not.

MILTOBE · 30/01/2024 22:42

In the bin with him, OP.

TheSnowyOwl · 30/01/2024 22:43

A longtime friend or family member without a history for being flaky, then I would be far more tolerable. However, someone you’ve never met and is an online date would be binned.

Babyboomtastic · 30/01/2024 22:47

Id have probably given him the benefit of the doubt tbh given you wouldn't have to travel to go on the date. But I'm a bit of a softie.

Than goodness I am a softie though. I man I'd just started seeing was due to come up and see me and stay for the weekend. Friday night, 2 hours before, he messaged saying he had to cancel as he'd forgotten that he was going to a wedding that weekend 🙄

I have him the benefit of the doubt. We've now been happily married for a decade. It was a rush genuine mistake 😂

But then again, I was crazy about him, and you and this bloke don't seem to have particularly sparked through message...

doitwithlove · 30/01/2024 22:47

Sounds like his life is constantly chatting online or messaging various women.

Give him a wide berth

LikeagoddamnVampire · 30/01/2024 23:08

d 'well how could it be any better spent than talking to you?'

Vom

I'd dump him just for this awful cheesey line.

Feeltherainonyourskin · 31/01/2024 06:39

Yep, definitely in the bin 🤣 in any case I sent a text at 7am yesterday and still no reply, probably been out with another woman.

Lol he's just sent this hahaha 3 hours before we were supposed to meet, after arranging a time and place, thank goodness I didn't meet him, loser.

So you had another date lined up with him?!

Feeltherainonyourskin · 01/02/2024 15:18

I decided to give it one last chance as he's only 5 mins walk away, I'll learn I guess! I've ignored him and blocked anyway.

Blondeshavemorefun · 01/02/2024 15:30

I was going to say give it one more chance

But see you have and he cancelled

So yes move on now

Feeltherainonyourskin · 01/02/2024 15:35

Who knows what the true reason was, but doesn't matter as he's a massive time waster.
