glows Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Would you recap please how the last correspondence ended between you two? Link to post Share on other sites
AndyCapp99 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Sorry but this is the most immature and ridiculous behavior. I wouldn’t come back for more. He asked you out several times and you said no. This guy should find someone who won’t knock him down every time and then expect him to keep coming back. What kind of game are you playing here? 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Im definitely not playing games. The first time he asked me on a date was when we just started talking I wasn’t comfortable with meeting someone that soon! Second he asked me on the day of in which that’s last minute and I already had plans then he asked me out a day before which was the third time, I already had plans in which I apologized? Soooo no !

ExpatInItaly Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Did you ever offer an alternative date when you were free? If not, you shot yourself right in the foot. Link to post Share on other sites
glows Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Maybe it’s still too soon for you to meet him. Otherwise you’d have suggested a different day to meet. Let him go and be busy doing what you have to do. Don’t toy with anyone. Link to post Share on other sites

So you don’t want to initiate plans but you want guys to keep chasing you. I wouldn’t ask you out again, that’s for sure. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Emma7897 Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 So there was a guy I was talking to for a little over a month. We had a lot in common and I enjoyed talking to him. In that course of us talking he asked me out 3 times in which I declined all three due to my schedule. He never asked me out again after that which is understandable. It’s been a month since we’ve spoken and I regret not hanging with him… even worst I can’t get him out of my brain whys that??? Link to post Share on other sites
basil67 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I guess your brain is suggesting that there's unfinished business. Did you ever offer him an alternate date? Link to post Share on other sites

You don't really miss him, but you're probably feeling guilty for jerking someone around, who had the self respect to drop it and move on. Get a good profile and pics on quality dating apps and start talking to and meeting local available single men in a timely fashion. Review your schedule and be clear about your availability. Meet sooner rather than later. Try not to make dating a chore for everyone involved. Link to post Share on other sites
Happy Lemming Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 If dating is important to you, you make the time to go out with an individual. And yes, after 3 tries... I would give up, as well. I'm sure he has since moved on and is trying to date the next woman. Maybe you feel like this was a "missed opportunity", that maybe if you had made time to go out with him, it could have turned into something. I imagine he looked "good on paper" and your brain is regretting the decisions you made. You can't turn back the clock on mistakes made. We have all made them, all we can do is learn from them and try not to repeat them. I guess you could call him up and ask him out (if you can't get him out of your brain). It is a long shot, but might be worth a phone call. Link to post Share on other sites

Once I was rejected twice by a woman, I didn't bother calling her again. I would have felt like I was being a nuisance. If you want to go out with him, you are the one that will have to reach out. Call him up, plan a nice date and ask him out. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

LynneVicious Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 scenario: Him: Would you like to go out for a drink tomorrow? you: no, I’m busy. If I were him, I would take that as rejection. You just said no aand didn’t offer an alternative time. how in the world is he to know you’re interested if you just reject him? He’s not a mind reader! If you’re interested, then let him know by doing this: Him: Would you like to go out for a drink tomorrow? You: I’m sorry, I already have plans. I’m free Thursday night. Want to go out then? Do you see the difference? Its now been a month and he’s probably moved on but learn from this and remember next time 2 Link to post Share on other sites

You have to ask me at least days in advance not 24 hours or 3 hours before. I did apologize and give another time. Link to post Share on other sites
basil67 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 If you need notice multiple days ahead, it suggests to me that your schedule is too busy to date. If you got into a relationship, where would you fit him in? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
