Met a guy recently seemed ok but a bit opinionated. Interesting conversation though. He does ring and message.

I've been out twice with him, both daytime afternoons for 2 hours max. Told me he won't ever be available Saturday as it's sacrosanct for going out with his mates.

2 Saturdays ago was his birthday and he went out at noon round pubs, for a curry and then back to the pub until kicking out time. I'm not comfortable with that.

I suggested we went to a quiz night and he said he'd let me know, then called to say he'd forgotten he'd arranged to meet up with former work colleagues but wanted to see me on Sunday.

I feel it's always going to be like this, WWYD?

I would say he had other plans for the day. In any case I couldn't be bothered with this guy but I think that something else is going on and it probably involves another woman I'm afraid.

Tell him you’ll meet up when he is ready to actually be in a grown up relationship. I.e. Never.

Over and out.

I'd text back and tell him 'it's OVER and I'm OUT!'

Just give him a thumbs up 👍🏼 and then mute his chat. Just fade him out - you’re not in a relationship. It’s just dating. I bet he will just fade too. Once you don’t hear from him in over a week or two (you decide), remove his number from your phone/block (depending on whether you want to hear from them again as they ALWAYS pop back up at some point).

I've decided to spend today gardening and tomorrow I'm having a day out in the countryside with my cousin. He can whistle.

So send him a text first thing in the morning to say that you're done with the relationship, block him, and then go out for the day with your cousin and enjoy yourself

You are the Tuesday girl. Don’t be the Tuesday girl.

Also what happens when his mates all get partners? Will he then come looking for you to entertain him now no one else is available?
