Had to NC as I lost my old thread! So I have posted about this before but since then there’s been another message. I’ve no intention of responding further, I don’t think, but does anyone have any clue why people do this?!
Basically I started chatting to a nice man online. We had various exchanges on the app and then he suggested a phone call. We spoke for a couple of hours and he suggested meeting for a walk. I declined and said let’s have another phone call and then perhaps meet at a later date. This was a mix of covid and not wanting to travel to meet someone unnecessarily. He was fine with it and said it was a good idea. We spoke again and another long chat. All great. I then had some spare time last weekend pre the tier 4!! And suggested we had that walk. He said great, that he was looking forward to it. It got to the day before and he text a short message saying sorry but could we sort something another time and that he hoped I had a nice weekend 
no explanation as to why. The thing that bothered me about it was that he had emphatically said he was off for two weeks and had no plans at all and that he was glad we had the walk booked in. It also bothered me that when he text to cancel he didn’t explain (I get he doesn’t HAVE to, but no real indication as to why the sudden change of plans) and also the fact that he left it open and didn’t suggest another day to meet. In the end I replied and said it was no problem but that I sensed we had different priorities and we should leave things here. I was pleasant about it and said that o hadn’t enjoyed speaking and wished him all the best. He replied to say; you may be correct. All the best.
Ok, fair, I’ve blown him off ( not in the way I had initially hoped). So that was that and I just forgot about him.
This morning he text me saying hi. Sorry again that we didn’t meet. Hope you had a good week off work and have a great new year, best wishes.
I didn’t expect to hear from him again. Any insight into why he would suddenly send this?
Before anyone bites my head off, I don’t suddenly believe me and him are meant to be, I just find the behaviour odd and would like to understand it as I’ve just started online dating again.
