Why bother making the dates in the first place if he doesn't want to show up? What's going on in men's heads?

Question - (20 November 2008) 2 Answers - (Newest, 21 November 2008)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I met this guy and we had one date - it was great. We had an awesome time. He made plans to meet me Saturday for lunch, hang out during the day. He called at noon and said his cat got into the garbage and was vomiting all am and he had to take him to the vet. I wasn't sure if that was really true but decided to give him the benefit of the doubt.

He called Tuesday and made a date for Thursday. I didn't give him any flack about Saturday. He texted after to say "thanks for not making me feel bad about Saturday". Thursday rolled around and he stood me up completely. Didn't call, text or respond to my text. He texted on Tuesday a big long apology with a story about how he lost his phone.

I feel like this guy is giving me the run around and I don't really believe his excuses. But my question is... why? Why bother making the dates in the first place if he doesn't want to show? Why bother apologizing and making up BS excuses? What goes on in men's heads?

This guy is either messing you about or unreliable. It sounds like either way you are frustrated about it and so he wouldn't make you happy. Tell him you're busy next time. There will be another one along soon! Only better hopefully...

birdynumnums agony auntHe's just trying to boost his ego by having you run around in circles! Sorry, I know this isn't welcomed advice, but if he is making you jump through hoops, and you are still doing it, you need to tell him that you are busy!!! AND then stay busy! He is either BS'ing you or he is a total idiot. Either way, you don't want to date him! 8^)
