Ladies, I'm requesting advice. I'd been speaking with this guy for about a week. We made plans yesterday to meet today (his last day off). He woke up late today and started mentioning some work that he hadn't done that he needed to complete. I told him to just let me know by 2 PM (1 hour before our date) if he’ll still be able to meet today. Yesterday, he told me his day was open, he didn't have any plans or things he needed to do. Well, at 1 PM he tells me that he has some things he needs to take care of with work and won't be able to make it. Now, he's trying to convince me he had forgotten about those things and that he wasn't blowing me off. I don't know how to handle this. Can someone give me some insight on what is happening and if I should cut him off. I'm in between cutting him off and cutting him off. I just want to make sure I'm not reading into this too much. All advice is welcomed. Thank you!!

He blew you off. When he’s saying “Im
not blowing you off” It means that he’s trying to convince you that he’s not while in reality he found something better to do, maybe his mates called and rather hang out with them.
It doesn't matter if he actually is telling the truth. Cut him off.
If he really wants to impress you he can buy a Maserati and leave it at your door or something.
You deserve someone who is KEEN AS MUSTARD to see you. Don't let this scrote waste your time.
I had an experience like this. Spoke on the phone to him on a Thursday. Arranged to meet on the Sunday at a restaurant he had booked. He said he’d got a networking event on the Saturday but would be in contact before our date. Heard nothing from him until an hour before our date on the Sunday!! Asking if we were still on. I’d noticed he’d been online throughout this time also. I refused to check in with him before our date like a pickmesha friend suggested! I mean…he said he’d be in contact and I refuse to chase also. So I tell him that I’d already made other plans as I’d not heard from him so assumed he was no longer interested but could rearrange (wish I’d not given the option tbh) His reply….‘oh I’ll cancel the table…I’ve been busy with work’ That was it!!!! I gave him 3 days to come back with a another date but nothing. Still online too. So I blocked. If you get the feeling they are wasting your time…they are wasting your time 👋
Block and delete! He doesn’t value you.
It's a hell ah for me!
He's a flip-flopper cut him loose.
Thank you for this advice. You're so dead-on. Putting myself as a top priority and never a backup plan for anyone from this day forward. ❤️
Never be "on call" for a guy where you're waiting until 1-2 (or even 24 hours) for his confirmation. I used to do this, and it resulted in my weekends being completely wasted. Proactively make plans for yourself, with your friends or plan to go for a hike or some other activity even if it's just cleaning your room and taking a bath. If he hasn't asked you out by Wednesday for the weekend, he obviously thinks you are the type of chick who is just waiting by the phone for him to "maybe" call you. I used to think it was game playing to do what I just suggested, until I realized I was so resentful from my lack of boundaries and wasting my own weekends. Besides, whenever I really wanted to see someone I asked them several days in advance because I understand they have things going on as well. Don't let the guy think he's the only thing going on in your life, and if he is the only thing going on in your life, make new plans. Take up a sport, get a part-time job, plan to go to the beach. Do literally anything else than to wait by your phone.
It sounds like he had a day off, told all his potential prosprcts and friends as much and was waiting for plans to drop in, then he picked his favourite one. He knew he had the day off, he should have made concrete plans days in advance and confirm them at least the day before. if it were a genuine emergency, he would have told you exactly what it was, not vague stuff he forgot he had on. Block and delete.
Cut him off he doesn't care about you or your time.
You know what to do, block and ghost. Don’t wait for his explanation just ignore and move on. He probably got a text from his buddies and wants to go with them. Don’t let yourself be treated as an option. They’ll walk all over you.
Ugh! Just block & delete him! Best case scenario he had stuff come up- why didn't he apologize and reschedule the moment he remembered? Cause he's making excuses to blow you off and get you to chase him. This man ain't shit. Also, one time a guy blew me off and we rescheduled (per my suggestion for next week). That day comes and I cancel the hour before cause I'd rather do my taxes than go see this flake. We never spoke again, it was bliss- and I got my refund that weekend 💅
Just block him
Cut him off . Sounds very doggy to me how he was going back and forth forgetting things and wanting to go on date. I wud just block and delete. Learnt this lesson a hard way . Also I made a rule that when a man wants to take me out for date he should be asking for a date a week or 4 days in advance . We should never let a man think they can just call in 1 hour before to tell us if they can make it to date or not. Hope this helps 💕
You don’t need insight into what happened, it won’t change anything to what happened, which is that he prioritized other things over your date. So yes, cut him off!
Honestly it really doesn’t matter why he did it or what excuse he gave you. If he really wanted to go on a date with you, he would have made it happen. If you let this slide, and give him another chance, he will know that he can get away with it. And trust me, he will do it time and time again. You don’t want a man you had to give a second chance to. You want someone who got it right the first time. It sucks and I’m sorry but don’t waste another minute thinking about it.
Assume the worst and cut him off. If it mattered that much he wouldn't have "forgot"
He seems fishy, glad you caught on and deleted! You are absolutely deserving of someone who will organize a nice date to meet you. He ain't it.
Honestly cut him off. Giving excuses like that again and again is definitively suspicious.
Sounds suspicious to me, all of it. Waking up late, changing his story, back pedaling. Sounds like he double booked dates and something didn’t work out so you’re up to bat.
