Yeah, I'm with smiley here. I've had relatives call to say "Hey, we're on our way." When my folks didn't even know the relatives were coming. These relatives live five hours away. It can happen. Just because it seems alien to you doesn't make it unheard of.

I can't do this evening. I'm not ready for a real date. I thought I was, but I'm so not. Now I'm also worried about moving to KC in a few months so that's making it even harder. I don't want to lead you on. I don't want to get your hopes up more than I already have. I feel like a complete jack ass as it is. Please forgive me. I'm so sorry Jenni. Know that I really do care, I just can't put myself back out there just yet.

I'm so so so so sosososososososososososososososososo sorry. I hope we can still be friends, I really enjoy talking to you. I'm just not ready for this and, honestly, if we go out this evening and I'm not ready, I won't be myself and you won't enjoy yourself. It's happened before, I don't want it to happen to you.

wow, from what I've read here, i think you might be better off without him jen. I do know what you mean about not having people beating my door down, but this one has serious commitment issues. you definitely deserve better. i wouldn't give up on dating just yet though. after i broke up with K, it took me trying 5 different dating sites and one speed dating night to find anything on level with who im looking for.

i think this guy was intimidated by the combination of your beauty and intelligence. you might give him another try if he can prove he grew a pair and can truly commit. otherwise keep fishing, there are plenty of fish in the sea.

Don't waste time on him. Plenty of other unreliable jerks to be let down by.

*nod*

What? What? I was trying to help!

"Commitment issues" is right...he can't even commit to a date...well, it sucks but at least he saved you the hassle of telling him to forget it...

[Rapscallion]

Been thinking about this, and since GK is likely to fly over and kick my arse for the last post, I'd better make a more serious one.

I've got an advantage over the rest of the commentators in this thread in that I've met you. You're attractive, intelligent, and fun to be around. You don't need to put up with idiots like this.

What a douchenozzle. And yet, guys like him catch the eyes of the ladies, while a guy like me sits at home alone. There's no justice in this frakkin' world.

To Raps you should listen. Life's too short to put up with shitstains like that guy. Move on and find someone worthy.

Ditto what Raps said. I've met you in person, if only briefly, and picked up a lot of your personality through your posts. I'd consider myself damn lucky to have the chance to date someone like you. That guy doesn't know what he missed out on.

Of course if you ever come to PA...we'll get out the hammers, and go "Office Space" on some computer equipment

[The Gatekeeper]

O.k., back from camping and getting up to date. I got the text on my way up, but apparently the reply didn't come through.

Raps, I laughed at your original post, you and I have a really inappropriate sense of humour so I'm not flying anywhere.

Just called TA and spoke to her in person. Echoed many of the same sentiments as I've seen here. As opposed to looking at it as a reflection on yourself I'd see it as more a matter of you just dodged a bullet.

Now I need to go tend to my sunburn.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Oh, for.....

I need a sick bag after reading that bit from his email. Trust me, you do not need this whiney, baggage-loaded, wishywashy, chickenshit little boy.

I wouldn't spare the piss to put his ilk out if he were on fire.

[SorryIsGoodEnough]

Chickenshit is right.

I really wish people would just come out and be honest about their motivations for pulling stunts like what this guy did to TA.

I'm all riled up now.

[strawbabies]

What the hell is his problem? It's a date, not an arranged marriage.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

His motivation is that he is a walking rectum.

[blas]

Rectums can walk? Oh dear lord....and next thing you know, testicles will be flying....that's just dandy.
