Ending things with flaky man

5 replies

Waterloo10 · 11/11/2023 21:33

Been dating a man since late this summer so still fairly early, but he’s often flaky with plans - I know things come up sometimes which can’t be avoided, but he seems to prefer having plans very open/loosely arranged, which I don’t particularly enjoy, especially as I have DC.

I’ve noticed that if I don’t go along with these wishy washy plans, we go longer without seeing each other because he just doesn’t prioritise making concrete date plans with me. I don’t want to continue dating him based on this - is it best to just send a brief message saying it isn’t working, or should I spell out the reasons?

thanks in advance, fairly new to dating after leaving a long term relationship some time ago.

Oh god, yes, end it. He's too half-hearted and flaky. Onwards and upwards!

I would tell him the reason and why it's not working for you, doesn't sound like it's going anywhere still being this casual.

I had one like this. If you're thinking that your approach will cause him to come to his senses - don't, it won't! He likes things his own way and hasn't even considered what works for you.

I think I would definitely tell him the reason why. It would annoy me. If uiu can't compromise then I suppose it's time to.end it. I woukd say face to face because I would not like to be told on the phone been there. Not nice.

Yes, I would end it.

Flakyness = He’s just not that into you

You deserve better!
