Am I overthinking this text exchange about arranging a date, worried hes not really into the idea and just being polite before blowing it out (he's white reply's)

@Muffin777

This doesn’t really make sense. Being in control because you have no other choice, is not really being in control

Control as in "in control of arranging dates", but you're right, if he's a simp, he's not in control of the relationship at all!

I can't see anything that he's done wrong. ..well perhaps he shouldn't be dating anyone right now..his plate seems to be very full.

Op you came off as pushy. Why is it necessary to push to see him that week when he's telling you that he's tired from the work load, course, and kids( even though they may not be with him, I assume he still parents them while not there.

There's a lot he has to deal with, especially as a parent. Why do you want to be further involved with him?? Especially if you have no children at all..

Perhaps find someone more flexible and without children.

"Forgot about Thurs" .. so he forgot about a day in the week 🙄 I would leave it and let him come to you x

I can't see anything wrong, it sounds like me when I'm tired. Maybe just let him send the next text

Op. Did you meet? Did he make any effort?

My advice, instead of sitting and wondering... just ask. You deserve to know where you stand.

Message him something really light hearted like...

"Hiya. Just checking that you do want to meet up on Thursday? I might e reading too much into your message but just got the feeling you weren't all that sure so I just thought I'd ask 🙂"

Really do not do this.
