To me that means dont really want to see you and i have had a better offer...

saw him about 4 times last month, he was full on then we had planned to spend weekend together he texted me the day before to cancel... didnt hear from him for 3 weeks until last friday... when he texted and called me.. said he cancelled before because he was getting scared of how he was feeling about me?? but he really thinks we could be good together etc etc... he then asked me to meet him tomorrow...

and now this

I dont know what to think now.. to me he should have sorted stuff out without me knowing about it and carried on with our plans or maybe i am being selfish

Don't respond to any of his texts, you're only feeding his ego.

If he had any respect for you, surely he would just call you to explain what is going on, I know I would.

Stay well away

SolidGoldBrass · 15/08/2009 12:39

Just ignore him. He thinks he can keep you hanging around in the background any time he fancies a shag and is not too fussy about who with. all that 'I think I love you' stuff' is simply to make you roll over with your legs in the air. FFS don;t fall for it.

Yes, if you ignore him he won't know he is dumped and there is a risk he will talk you round later.

Tell him to fuck off out of it.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 15/08/2009 12:52

he will know he's dumped
this is afterall the way alot of tossers
men dump women!!

He's doing it again - ooo, he's such a knob player! You wrote at 12.06, that's PM! He said would let you know AM! Pedantic to some maybe, but he did say...

He is a knob jockey, count your lucky stars you escaped at this stage! But for you too.

picmaestress · 15/08/2009 13:59

'he can see me'
Seriously? You're worth SO MUCH MORE.
Text him now and say 'I've made other plans now, sorry. I think we should call it a day, it's not much fun'.
He sounds like an absolute cock.

MegBusset · 15/08/2009 14:16

He is a tossbag.

I have been through too many like this (pre-DH obv) and it never ever ever ends happily.

Walk away with your head held high

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 15/08/2009 14:20

Please tell me you've texted him and told him to sling his hook?

gingernutlover · 15/08/2009 14:21

picnaestress's message definatly. It's not upset or having a go, very unemotional. And then ignore any furthur messages unless they are a genuine explanation which you honestly believe.

Playing hard to get is definatly best, don't ever give him the message that you are hanging around fro him and will allow him to treat you badly

mamas12 · 15/08/2009 16:09

I repeat tell him YOU have had a better offer and don't bother calling again as it's not much fun.

cheekysealion · 15/08/2009 16:33

not heard a thing from him... toss pot F**kwit....

I dont think i will bother texting him... i dont really want him to think i am thinking about him..
and will ignore anything from him if anything

I do have other plans which is a friends bday drinks.. was arranged after my date with him.. so said to her i would go for an hour as i had made plans ... was going to ask him along for the hour i was going there for.. so now i have overnight care arranged for my children... so need to make the most of it and drink heavily all night....

mamas12 · 15/08/2009 16:52

Well done cheeky!
Kick him into touch.

skybright · 15/08/2009 17:31

If you are going out for drinks take his number out of your mobile,drink sometimes does something really weird to texting fingers

Have a good night.

FabBakerGirlIsBack · 15/08/2009 17:43

Just delete his number

Kally · 15/08/2009 17:51

Just tell him 'sorry, you missed the boat mate'..

cheekysealion · 15/08/2009 17:56

i am looking foward to night out...

just had a thought surely he doesnt think i will be turning up as we arranged.. because he hasnt actually cancelled me... he just said he was trying to get out of something...

if he had any sense surely he would have texted to say managed to rearrange.. see you later..

I will just have to go out and carry on with my plans

Being with a man should be easy, not all this angst. Leave that to the teenagers.

ninah · 15/08/2009 18:55

Don't contact him! agree with those who say delete number, v wise

Chinchilla · 15/08/2009 20:40

'just had a thought surely he doesnt think i will be turning up as we arranged.. because he hasnt actually cancelled me... he just said he was trying to get out of something...'

If he liked you, he would be texting to confirm details. If he liked you, he would not back off for three weeks because he is scared of liking you too much. That is crap to stop you asking exactly what he WAS doing in that three weeks. If he liked you, he would not be playing with you.

Delete his number from your phone. Ignore any texts you get from him.
