Could somebody fill me in to why he's wanting to hang out, then bailing last second?

Question - (24 November 2012) 2 Answers - (Newest, 7 December 2012)
A female Canada age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I had posted a question about this same guy before (not quite a question like this), but only recieved one answer. I asked to see if people could tell me if it sounds like this guy has a crush on me.

I've been so confused with this guy, honestly. I think he's adorable, and I WANT to date him, or even if we just remained close friends that'd be fine. As long as we'd stay in touch. But things that he's doing are just SO confusing! First off, he gave me his number. He really went out of his way to do it too. We make all these plans to go out to dinner and other places. He texts me every single day, I never have to text him first, every morning, "Good morning! :)" (not that I mind). And he flirts unbelievabley, saying that he sometimes wishes I'd be where he is, and stuff.

But here's where it gets me. We make plans to hang out, and he bails. We were supposed to hang out last week, he went out for a last minute family thing, which I understood, but he said he'd get back to me, and he didn't. A few days ago we were supposed to go Christmas shopping like we planned weeks ago, he bailed an hour before leaving. Everytime he's at work, I offer to visit, "No, my boss will get mad." (there's 3 bosses, only one gets mad.). And whenever he's free, he makes last minute plans before making up the lost ones with me. And it's a shame because I want to do all these things with him.

We only hung out once, and I feel like it went well. It wasn't a fail because he's still talking to me and stuff. And he's not the type of guy to be shy when it comes to hanging out.

I just don't know why he's doing this to me. He claims that he's just bad with timing, and things always come up last second. Could someone please enlighten me?

From a bloke, he has someone else and can't decide what to do.

janniepeg agony auntIt wasn't a fail, but it's not a great success either. When something always come up it means you are not a priority in his life and your dates are on his terms.

Friends don't go on dates and flirt. When a person is ready for a relationship it means they will fit in more time to see the person. It doesn't matter if he likes you a lot, or just sees you as a friend. If he's so busy that your dates are going to be hit and miss, you won't be satisfied with him. To your question I would say he's the sociable type who can't say no to people, and he's bad with timing. Look at that last minute family thing. If it's really last minute, then is it so important that he must not miss? Would you think of a family birthday or reunion as a last minute thing? Either he's lying about what he's doing or he forgot about what his family told him before. When a person makes plans, bails or get there late it means there is little respect for the other person. It could be a cultural thing or personal difference but I would absolutely have no interest with someone with bad time management.
