I went on a date with a guy. He wanted to meet for dinner immediately, but I was busy for a few weeks in a row. When I was finally able to link up with him for a date, he didnt have a lot to say. I tried to initiate the typical first date conversation, but he would only respond and then say nothing. At that point, I thought. ” oh great! another socially inept guy who wants to torture me with his silence on an already awkward first date :)!

After the date, he told me that he enjoyed it. (I certainly couldnt tell). I went on vacation for two weeks and during that that time, he reached out to me to see how it was going. I contemplated sending him a somewhat lengthy text of my cool vacay, but decided I would not make any effort since he hadnt been, so I simply responded saying ‘great’. After returning from vacation, I sent a text to see how he was doing. He insisted that we link up for pool and dinner. I agreed. Sunday comes and I tell him that we hadnt agreed on a time… Guess what he says, ” Im sorry, but my cousin is in town and Im going to have to see you next weekend.” Guess what I say, “Wow. That was very inconsiderate… If you hadnt texted me before I contacted you to confirm a time, then when were you going to reach out and let me know smh. My mom was with me at the time, and she is the reason I gave him a second chance. She assured me that sometimes this can happen and that I should be patient. My gut instinct told me that he’s just a boring fool, who doesnt value my time or feelings. He was apologetic, but I could care less. I forgave him and asked that he please communicate effectively in the future and he says okay. He literally hounds me about going out again. I told him that I was free Thursday and today. He says Sunday works for him and I say, it works me too! This morning, I never got a time confirmation from him or ANYTHING. I was livid, but remained patient. I texted him asking if we are on or not. Unfortunately, I have already made up my mind, if he does say we are still on, I will stop seeing him after this date, because he simply is incapable of respecting others’ time and if he does not respond, then I will simply block his number. Ladies and gents, am I wrong to ditch the boring turtle?
