Yes its true I have the book!! Although have never stuck by the rules. Iv been dating for about a year and lets just say Iv had some awful dates.
Iv joined a dating site and I met him, liked him (this happens very very rare) he seemed to like me and the next day he text to ask when free so I explained wed or fri so we organised for wed and on the morning he text and said he had a rugby injury that had flared up and couldnt drive to me so could I go to him instead (I went to him on the first date) I explained that it was impossible for a number of reasons but happy to reschedule and hope he feels better soon. He asked if I was free fri so I said yes and anged to meet early as he was gonna catch a train and leave early so I arranged a sitter and then he said about an hour before our date he would drive and I said ok so I drove too. I was ready to leave when he text and said hes gonna be half hour late so I waited then called him and he said sorry run into trouble will be there but later. He was 2 hours late but explained why and I was ok with it.
He didnt text when I got home so the next morning I text and said thanks for a lovely evening and he said welcome. Then later I text and asked how was his day etc he text and then I text a question and he answered the question the following day at 6pm and I thought what? Surely he had seen his phone before but I just answered his question and that was it nothing! Then today at 11am a text how was my weekend but there is no talk of another date. Am I thinking too much into it? Should I ask him? Is this normal? Im just not very good at dating so need some help please?? Before I make a complete plonker of myself (like in the past)

Can I suggest that you stop texting? I've noticed it makes men feel bothered.

Don't keep mithering the bloke. Men dont like needy, emotionally unstable, desperate women - not long term anyway. Quit the constant texting, its not a prerequisite when receiving a text to answer the damned thing immediately.

waltz if you read the thread Im not overly texting, have not once been emotionally unstable or sounded desperate. Im definitely not mithering him!
When I looked back at the text he was just answering my question from the day before. I am definitely definitely not texting him and to be honest I think like you said he is just answering to be polite and avoid telling me hes not that into me. Although he was very open on the date in telling me all his other dates hes let them know exactly how it was, and I agreed its better to let the other person know to save wasting time.
Iv actually deleted his number. I should of known from the minute he was late on the 2nd date. Actually when he cancelled our 2nd date.
Only easy when its working eh? I long for that day :)
