Date postponed-big deal or no?

8 replies

poshsinglemum · 18/09/2010 23:58

I was supposed to have an afternoon date with someone from Match tomorrow who I was really excited about.
He texted to night saying can we postpone til Weddnesday as he has to have his dd til Tuesday. I know it's hard for people with kids to date but it's spoilt it for me a bit. Why couldn't he get a babysitter like I had planned (and who I am now going to have to cancel) I am giving him one last chance but I don't know if I should or not. I'm being unreasonable right?

We had a nice chat about it tonight. It's just logistics isn't it or is he not that into me?

Short notice for a babysitter I guess.

i reckon his ex has just sprung his DD on him. you don't know his full story. time with his DD could be hard to get so he is making the most of it!! give him a chance.

you never know the ex could be the jealous type and have found out he was going on a date so decided to ruin his plans!

I'm giving him a chance. He sounds lovely. I have to get used to it if I'm dating a single dad. Logistics are a bugger. He was really worried that he put me off.

bless him!! i have just joined match so have yet to arrange any dates. i too will be arranging around my dcs.

SHit happens, basically. If he seems nice otherwise then I would say give him a chance: dating people with DC is always going to carry a risk of this sort of thing (dates cancelled because DC suddelny erupt with chickenpox or something). If it happens three times in a row, dump and move on.
