Been messaging a few men on the apps and just wanted to have a mini rant.
I was planning to meet one of them for a drink, and he said he could only do Friday or Sunday, as he plays sport all day every Saturday, so we settled on meeting on Friday.
During the day on Friday, we were pinning down when and where to meet that evening. I told him I finished work at 6, to which he then said we could meet at 7. He then said he has other plans later, so we’d only be able to meet for an hour, which is fine, but I asked if he wanted to rearrange.
He’s now messaged again today, saying he’s got a few things ‘lined up’ this week, so he’ll need to ‘get back to me’ and pin down’ when to meet.
I feel irritated, as I feel like I’ve done quite a bit of compromise in terms of meeting him halfway on when to meet, but he hasn’t.
I know we haven’t yet met, and it’s such a ridiculously small thing in the grand scheme of things, but it makes me feel like I’m a work client or a task to tick off on his to-do list and makes me not want to meet.
I know the right answer is just to ignore him and move on. I’m so tempted to write a snarky message back though. I shouldn’t though, should I…
