So I’m quite new to online dating, mixed experience so far ... I left an abusive relationship 18 months ago and have been working hard to rebuild my life. I’ve been having counselling to work on boundaries which has really helped.
Anyway, I’ve been chatting to this guy, he asked to meet up, seemed really keen etc. We agreed a date and time to meet. He messaged the day before to check I was still ok to meet, I said yes. On the day of the date, he messaged an hour before we were due to meet, saying was I still ok to meet up and he didn’t think we had agreed a time.. I said yes still ok to meet and reminded him of the agreed time (which he had suggested!!). Then he messaged back to say actually he’s unwell with a cold and can we take a rain check!!
No apology ...
I was very annoyed as I’m a single parent and childfree time is limited.
My first instinct was to be sympathetic and give him the benefit of the doubt etc, but actually I think he’s treated me quite shabbily so I’ve blocked him so I’m not tempted to get drawn in again. Please reassure me I’ve done the right thing and not been too harsh? Because of my past experiences I find it quite difficult to judge these things ... my gut feeling is that this was the right thing to do.
