Is he stringing me along or should I call in three weeks times and ask him? Reply to this Question

He doesn't say NO, the last time I said it doesn't matter if he can't help if it's too much bother but he still insists that he can. I just get fed up that when I ring he then asks me to ring again I don't think I'm being too impatient. If next time he says again to ring again then I will ask if anybody else can help - hope I don't offend him!! If then he says there isn't anyone then what?

Reminds me of my husband. He hates to say no to anyone who needs help and promises things he cannot possibly deliver. When this happens, the people who he lets down are more annoyed than they would have been had he said I am sorry I can't help! Is there anyone else who can help? Don't feel guilty about looking elsewhere because if this person really is that busy, or just hates saying no, then you are doing him a favour by letting him off the hook.

 There is always the probability that he might really have a hectic schedule and might have problems fitting u in, he has simply been busy or he is still trying to sort out the issue you asked him for.
I think u should give him the benefit of the doubt one more last time and call as he suggested in 3 weeks time. If nothing is done and he is trying to suggest another time schedule then simply tell him that it might be better for him to get in contact with u when he sees fit.
Hope this helps. take care dear.
