But 2 hours into the night, he says he's bored and wants to see me, which i say ok to.. an hour later, he calls me saying he has stopped round a mutual friends house (to which i am not invited) to 'chill out for a bit' .. he says he'll be round soon, i say 'fine'... 4 hours later, he is not here.cannot get in contact with him to ask where the hell he's actually staying tonight, so i feel i have to stay up just In Case. this sort of thing seems to happen a lot.. am i overreacting or is he actually taking the piss?

I am having words today, and also becoming less available, see how it goes... thanks for advice :)

If a guy did this to me on a regular basis, I would think it was completely unacceptable. Have you spoken to him about this? He might think it is fine to do these things if you don't say anything. Put your foot down girl! You deserve much better treatment than this, so go and let him know that! x

He's taking the piss. Play harder to get. When he says he wants to see you, say you're up to something. See what happens. If he still doesn't put enough effort into it, then get away from him.

If it were me I'd lock the door, and forget about it. Some people are more comfortable than others with ambiguity and flakiness.
I'd either reward his flakiness with absent-mindedness or put your foot down.

I don't think you're overreacting, he's acting like a jerk. Tell him to stop playing around with you. Put an end to it.
