I have a dating question?
Any thoughts on this scenario:
I asked a guy out for a drink. He said yes. At the meeting time he cancelled and said he was tired and going home. Ok...he got a 2nd chance. I asked him when works well for him. He said 'weekdays'. We rescheduled to Tuesday.
I think he's going to cancel and I want to make other plans if he does, so I asked him if we're on for Tuesday and he said "I may have to entertain my client in town".
If I 'stand up for myself' and remind him that HE chose that day, I become bitchy. If I ask him again when is a good time is, I'm not in the mood to reschedule a 3rd time, because that seems to make me look desperate; and gives him an opportunity to cancel/ postpone.
Last, he ended with "September and October are busy months for me" How would one handle that statement? I'm busy too, but do I gently remind him that if he wants to meet me he'll make time for me....? Or just move onto another person?
What would you do if you were me? I think he's going to pull the "i'm busy tuesday after all and won't be able to meet you in October".
Thanks.

If I were you I wouldn't text or contact him again. It is very rare for a guy to like to be chased. The majority of time they like to do the chasing. There is nothing wrong with asking the guy out I don't think. Though I have never done this and I never will. You may be coming off to strong. This is going to sound pretty weird but I would watch a couple movies. He's just not that into you, and Play the game. As silly as it is a lot of what these two movies say tend to be pretty true. It is possible that this guy is trying to spare your feelings and doesn't want to be mean. So instead he is blowing you off hoping you will take a hint. It is possible that he actually might be busy it does happen the best way to find out in my opinion is to wait until he asks you out. I am not saying you can't answer when he calls or messages but i wouldn't be first to contact him. If he says hey sorry I can't make it I would respond with it's ok It's cool. Then wait and see if he reschedules if he doesn't move on he is not interested. If he does try I would make him work for it because he has been wasting your time and if he didnt have to work for the date then there is a chance he wont follow through. This is just my opinion and my advice it is not backed by any sources and I didn't look it up. The other option you have and this is up to you is to cancel the date yourself. I wouldn't Go into to much detail about what it is you are doing just a basic cancel. Hey I'm sorry something has come up and I cant make it. The rest is up to you. So basically I would put the ball in his court and see if he swings.
