I just got this, which is a slightly different variation on usual first messages Wow Impressive ! What about some some mint tea, cinnamon coffee, or a banana chocolate shake to start? Which is clearly supposed to get the response What????? to get a conversation going.

Clever. But I'm not falling for it.

Well my intuition was spot on, MrSA has cancelled said his he is finishing late and will be too tired by the time he got here. I have replied that if he really wanted to make it happen he would and asked him to be honest and asked him if has he lost interest, he assured me not but I think actions speak louder than words don't they.He has just sent me a long text saying he really underestimated the time he has blah blah and really likes me and enjoys our time tog. Sorry for being a pain.So how to reply? Your thoughts please

"I would expect more effort from someone that really like me, as you say you do. If I can't be higher on the list of priorities at this stage, it's never going to get the chance to develop further."

Oh god Blossom, we all know how to pick 'em, don't we?! Not sure how I'd respond to that but I wouldn't want someone coming over that late anyway, as it'd feel a bit like a booty call. I know it's not in your case though, but you're right, he needs to make time for you. I've forgotten his circumstances but why can't he take you for an evening out, rather than just come over after work? Has he suggested an alternative date to tonight? Maybe reply with something like 'Actions speak louder than words, so why don't you give me a call when you have time for a proper date?'

Well, after not hearing from him all week, Mr Coffee Shop has text about an hour ago. He's asked how I am then told me about his last day at work today (he just finished there to start a new job). I'm not sure what to reply. I know he's been on dating sites this week (as have I) and I've felt he's gone cold on me recently - I haven't seen him for nearly three weeks and I've had the feeling he's keeping me hanging in case he can't find anyone better. Any suggestions what to reply? Needs to be casual I think. It doesn't help that both my parents have been ill recently - mum is awaiting a dementia diagnosis and my dad has had a suspected mini stroke today, so I've got a lot to deal with atm.

I hope I'm over reacting, as this morning he was texting asking how I got on with new job.
He rely nice n good looking and I do wonder if it's a case of let's fu k a fatty but then y ask why I didn't turn up at mutal mate do
