Question - (11 June 2011) 4 Answers - (Newest, 12 June 2011)
A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Okay so I met a guy quite a few months ago he chased me for a long time but I had other stuff going on and wasn't ready to date anybody so although I talked to him I made it clear what my situation was yet he persisted.

Finally in February of this year I agreed to a date since then we have seen each other a few times we text a lot also and he claims he still likes me yet today he was supposed to see me yet for the third weekend in a row he has let me down - he talked to me later on but I can't help thinking that he is going off me - he's 40 years old - I'm 29 and I just don't see why at his age he cannot just be honest.

Thoughts on this anyone?

freeme agony auntHe has ditched you three weekends in a row? Time to move on, sorry. Maybe he has a large ego and it was damaged when you gave him the cold shoulder initially. Then, to prove a point to himself or you, he won you over so he could return the favor.

I'd steer very clear of this guy. Stop texting. He will come running back to you when you give him the shoulder again. What will you do?

cupidus agony auntHe's got your number and now you have his.

Question is why would you be rattling on about someone who is unreliable unless maybe you have commitment issues of your own. Most would be treating this situation like they just bumped grocery carts.

This guy is not immature, he's a jerk. People don't grow out of being jerks. And plenty of supposedly "immature" teenage boys would not pull this kind of unreliable stuff on you.

Sounds very much like he just enjoys the chase - hence why he persued you for so long.

He probably has a few in a queue and randomly contacts you all in turn until one agrees to date. Doesn't mean he doesn't like you - just that his busy life,immaturity - or both - make him a man to avoid for anything serious, your a challenge only until you agree to see him
