writes:I sent an email to a guy I used to work with--just a "hi, how are you doing" email. He answered and said "we should get together for dinner and catch up on things." He included his cell number. I called a couple of days later, we talked for abt 15 minutes and he said he was getting ready to go to work, but would call back "real soon" to arrange a time for dinner. About three weeks passed and I got a text message from him asking me to call him after work. I got his voice mail, but he called right back. He said he is working two jobs and really busy, but would like to get together with me--have dinner or just hang out. I said great. After about 2 more weeks without hearing from him, I sent him a text and said "Hi, I'm getting really hungry waiting to have dinner with you!" He responded with "That's pressure--lol!" I texted back and said I was just kidding with him. Then he said, "lol--I'm anxious too!"Now about three more weeks have passed and I haven't heard from him. I know he is busy working two jobs, but why would he act interested in going out (and it was HIS idea)--and then he lets all this time go by without calling or texting or anything? Do you think he is just too busy to date--or is he just wanting to string me along for some time in the future when he has time? I know I shouldn't worry about it, but I am so tired of being alone, especially during the holidays. What do you make of this?

I think you instinctly know this, but want it to be different.If you are lacking for dates, try an internet dating site. There are a lot of people looking for sexual hookups on there, but there are also very sincere people looking for love. It's like meeting someone in real life....you have to weed through the b.s.Forget about this guy.

 Seriously he would have lost me at the ' That's pressure!!' line. What a complete idiot he must be to dangle a 'carrot' in front of you and keep you waiting and waiting!!! I'd ignore him and if he ever gets back in touch to offer dinner again...I'd tell him to shove it up his a**!!!!
:-)
There are better people to have dinner with and don't let loneliness pull you into bad liasons...there are good people out there...and they definitely won't keep you waiting!!
with lots of love from Aunty Em xxx

 The uncertainty would kill me... honestly? I'd just find out once and for all if he's interested. Call him and say to him - right, let's go out for dinner next week or I'm going to eat without you. If he hears you're serious, and he likes you - he'll make time to have dinner with you - if he makes excuses and doesn't set another date - then is the time to completely forget it, delete his number and move on. What are you waiting for girl? Get on that phone! (I know other people will think this bad advice - but why hang around waiting for him? You might as well find out once and for all, then you can move on if you need to). Let us know what happens!
