I'm baffled... Why did he leave me hanging?

Question - (26 September 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 26 September 2010)
A female United States age 36-40, *motionalGirl writes:

About two weeks ago, I got a friend request from this guy I went to high school with. Same grade as me, but we never talked in school. So anyway I added him, and then a few days later he sent me a message. He said "hey I know this is outta the blue, but I was just wondering why a girl as pretty as you went to high school with me and we never talked once." I was instantly flattered, and later on when I got home I sent him a flirty message back saying "that's really sweet of you, well it's not too late to start talking now..." So for the next few days we messaged back and forth. He would always get back to me if not right away, within a few hours.

I was really starting to like him, and thought he liked me back since he asked me out by the third day of talking, He wanted us to go out to dinner that night, only problem was I happened to be up north at my aunt's house and wouldn't be home til the following morning. So I messaged him back and said "I would love to but I can't tonite" and I asked if we could do it tomorrow instead. He answered "ok sounds good" so I gave him my # and expected him to call that night. The next day he texts me at 4:30 and says he's sorry he can't make it, he has been helping his sister's boyfriend move all day. and he asked if we could get together next weekend. I said "sure no worries, call me if you want to chat.." and he said "ok will do". Then I assumed he would call at some point during the week, but he didn't.

After some advice from my friend, I sent him a text thursday night saying "hey, how's your week going? looking forward to hanging out with you this weekend...that is unless you're gonna bail on me again. lol" and after two hours he answers me back "sorry answer in 15 mins. finishing up an 18 hour shift." I should prob mention that he just started a new job after college, and he doesn't live in the sound town as me. But he told me in the beginning that he usually comes down to his parents' house on the weekends, which is the same town where I live.

So anyway after that text he answers back a few mins later 'I'll text you saturday night with a time, if you're free?" I waited a few mins and replied "ok but where are we going?" And he never answered me, not even the next day. Now I can understand working a lot and being tired, but I still make time for people! So saturday(yesterday) came and went and I never heard from him.

I just don't get it! Why did he blow me off when he was who contacted me in the first place? I think I deserve an explanation, if he changed his mind he should be a man and just tell me? Is he seeing another girl?

A female reader, anonymous, writes (26 September 2010):

This guy is a timewaster who obviously enjoys manipulating women's feelings. I'd suggest you don't get in touch with him again, and if he contacts you, leave it for a week or two before you reply...if you decide to.
