What The Funk??!

Ok, i'm seeing someone. We'd arranged last night to meet up this evening. He told me that he had Rugby trials for a new club so it'd probably be later. He sent me a text at 6pm saying.... ''Just leaving for training, will keep you posted. Thinkin might be better another night''. I sent a message back saying ''sorry not gonna let you cancel tonight!'' He would have known that I was joking, and I presumed that we were still on when he didnt reply to the message.

Anyway, he just called saying that he's too tired and that he's sorry. I was slightly off-ish, but he's suggested that we ''do something'' on Thursday, and that he'll be ''in touch''.

We met in late October, but went on our first date in December. No mention of frickin' Valentines Day either!

Please give your views on this...

I dont think you're high on his agenda,frankly
What's wrong? He's obviously still into you. "Thinkin might be better another night" = "sorry, as much as I'd love to, we're going to have to reschedule". Stop stressing about it being Valentine's Day... it's a load of crap designed to sell heart-shaped red things. Surely you can wait til thursday. :smile:

Probably, but then he did say that we should maybe re-arrange. Should I mention that I'm bothered by it? How do I tackle the issue?! Help!

Kathica, when a guy keeps putting it gf off and asking to rearrange it seems to me that she doesnt mean all that much to him, i mean, if she did, im sure he'd be able to compromise other things

i'd find someone else that cant keep away from you, darlin
Well, meet up with him on Thursday, and you'll see by how he acts with you whether or not he's interested :P if he doesn't turn up, or cancels, or postpones, then unless he has a super duper reason, you've got your answer

I wouldn't have bothered posting if I wasn't annoyed by it. The trials were for a professional club, so quite important. My issue lies with what I should say about it? He knows i'm annoyed because he noticed during the call, and I didn't say much. And i'm not officially his girlfriend either, we haven't had that conversation. Should I continue sulking? I'm being serious by the way!

If he turns up, its all well and good, but what about the other times, is she going to find herself trying unneccessarily hard to get him to go out with her? I think that since he seems to wrapped up in his rugby, he wont commit and going on dates with you wont matter all that much to him tbh, so i'd seriously consider finding some other guy.

He's not likely to not show up, and he's always quite keen when I'm with him. However, I'm just really annoyed that he didnt have the curtesy to call me after I sent the last message. Also, surely there's something to be said for the factthat he hasn't mentioned the fact it's Valentines day?! I'm not the type of person to get caught up in the excitement of stupid things like that, but still!...

I'd say just see what happens on Thursday, but don't be in a mood with him then though or things def won't go well.

THank you for both of your replies. Markus- he's never cancelled before. My problem is the fact that he didnt tell me sooner and the non-mention of you-know-what. The reason I posted was to get some advice on what I should say/do about it x x
If you're not officially his girlfriend, I'm thinking maybe you could just let it go. Seriously, guys don't like to be hassled, and neither do they like to talk about every little niggle that goes "wrong"...

if you think you can just take a deep breath and think to yourself "right, well that trial was really important to him, and seeing as we're not that committed, and if this had happened any other day it wouldn't be such a big a deal, and perhaps he is genuinely sorry he couldn't meet up and wants to meet on thursday instead.... it doesn't mean he doesn't like me anymore" then I would recommend you do that.

True, it wouldn't have killed him to mention Valentine's day, but seriously... if you get annoyed about little things like that, that's what's going to drive him away.

Steph has a good point, also dont worry about valentines, some guys are real romantics and love v days, but some just aren't, thats how things go,

Just see how it goes, you might find yourself getting bored with him and find someone who isnt so preoccupied with something else besides you :biggrin:

I'm really not as desperate as I'm coming across- I swear. Was thinking of sending a message tomorrow. There's a new club opening tomorrow and my friend's got a guest list. Thinking of saying the following.. ''hello, sorry for being a bit off-ish last night, was just a little vexed that you didnt tell me sooner. Likely to be going to **** tonight, Sophie's got a guest list if you wanted to to come along? Hope the trial went well, couldn't ask last night, you see, as I was indulging in a sulk!'' Or something to that effect! Yes I know its sad that ive already written tomorrows message!

To send or not to send?!
Send it, it's quite sweet. No doubt Markus will disagree- I love the guy's perspective, despite always being a let down.

hmmmm.... personally I wouldn't put in the bit about the sulking.
Yeah, it's cool. shows you acknowledge that you were sulky, but that you're over it now :smile: plus, it may prompt him to apologise, if he thinks the situation needs one. have fun!

actually, yes though. After seeing Steph saying that, I'm inclined to agree. I was going to write that you should put less emphasis on the sulking element... but obviously, put what you want to say :P

Why, surely it excuses the fact that I behaved like a real brat but shows him that I was annoyed?

Actually i agree with you kimberley :wink: it is quite sweet, not sure if it'll prove to be very productive
