Went on a couple of dates with someone a few months ago. It seemed to be going well and I thought it could be promising, then he suddenly had a last minute work trip that he was going to Dubai for a month or so for, which he didn't know about until the last minute.
We were in touch at first while he was away but then he stopped messaging. He returned about 6 weeks ago and has only just got in touch with apologies saying he'd been busy. However in that time I'd seen he'd made a new profile on a dating app I've been on.
I've been burned many times in the past and this kind of inconsistency simply just puts me off, but I don't know if I'm overthinking or expecting too much from someone that I went on a couple of dates with. It puts me off that he hadn't got in touch sooner. I'm looking for a relationship so consistency is really important and I've recently had a few dates with a great guy who things are going well with so far so I think I'm better off with that.
Would you bother responding to this other guy?
