Giving Guys A Second Chance
Okay, let’s say you really like this guy, but you haven’t gone on any dates yet. You keep planning to, but something always seems to come up, whether it be with you or him. Finally you get the chance to go out, he tells you to meet him at the bar, and he doesn’t show up. He sends you a text in the middle of the night apologizing profusely, saying he was sorry and got stuck at work, blah blah blah.
Okay fine. You think that maybe he could have gotten stuck at work and maybe broke his hand which is why he didn’t bother to tell you all of this in the first place, and instead had you wait in your car for an hour for him to show up.
So, you decide to give this guy another chance. A few weeks later, both of you finally have clear enough schedules so that you can get together again. You are looking forward to this day, kind of spending all day getting ready and looking fabulous, and can’t wait to get together with him.
So, the time comes when you are supposed to meet (he’s picking you up this time, no waiting around in bar parking lots), but instead you get a text saying that he doesn’t have any money to go out tonight and that he’s really sorry.
Umm….what?
So. Do you give this guy yet another chance? Or are you totally done with this person and move on to the next one? This kind of reminds me of those Choose Your Own Adventure stories. What would you do?
This post is sooo old but I just have to respond because I’ve enjoyed reading this blog and I have recently come across it. Recently as in two days ago.
This is the kind of person that lacks commitment and doesn’t have any respect for you. To wait a ridiculously long time for both schedules to be clear and then just blow the person off is practically them saying they don’t actually care. People like this are a waste of time, don’t bother with them.
