So I met a guy on tinder and arranged our first date, as a single parent that’s quite a hard job in itself finding a babysitter etc but I had it all arranged. The day of the date came and got a text in the afternoon saying he was going to have to cancel as he’d hurt his back. I was gutted, he apologised. He had hurt his back the day before but then also told me that he’d been out cycling the next morning (the day of our date) and hurt it further. So I said he had one final chance to make another date. So we arranged another date for the following week. Prior to the original date he’d been texting me every (5 secs telling me how awesome I was etc etc) but then the next day I barely get a text from him other than the one to cancel the date. And after that his texts weren’t the same. But I was giving him the benefit of the doubt. So yesterday after firming up the details for our next date, I get another text saying - “you’re not going to be believe this but my friend has just said they are coming for a visit from the day we were supposed to be having our date on to two days after that, so could you possibly do the day before? Really sorry, if they had been coming for longer I would have told them I had plans.” I was like well you do have plans - to see me and as you’ve already cancelled once it doesn’t exactly show me that you value me or as much as you say you do.
Should I give him another chance to rearrange the date? My issue is that if he doesn’t really value me now will that just keep happening? He knows I’m a single parent yet thinks I can just drop everything to rearrange times or worse he’s like we can meet with your daughter and go for a meal. I’m like that’s not happening on a first date.
Should I just say forget it?
