Hi All
My boyfriend and I have been together for about 8 months. Anyhow, we have a regular date night on Tuesdays. I don't know why but that is our typical routine. Last week he asked if we could get together on Wed. I didn't think much about it and figured he just wanted to change things up a bit. Tues came around and I was having a really tough day at work. I have a very stressful job so I thought I'd lean on him for some support. I asked via text if I could give him a call and chat about it. He responded and said he was going out with his friend Stephanie and if plans fell through he would call. First, thanks for blowing me off for another girl and second, wow don't I feel special? He couldn't take five min to call me when I was having a really bad day. Am I crazy for getting upset over this? Does anyone else think it's a bit shady?

Unless this is a different guy, then you can hardly call him a boyfriend since he told you he can't commit.

However he could have been honest that he was intending on dating others, but you have assumed a lot of things dealing with this fellow.

Dating is not a commitment, and he told you there was none, so why assume it was exclusive? With all the facts you have, its your choice to keep dating him, or not.

Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays... Whatever.

Date away. Don't sit & wait around, expecting.

Is he for you? That's the real question. Wants to be your boyfriend.
Maybe not?

Keep things loose. Without expectations.

You will know, if you don't already.

These are things that committed couples deal with.
Are you ready for that?

Maybe you want more then he can offer.

Talaniman Rule - Date them all, fat, short, skinny, or tall. 18 - 80, blind, cripple, or crazy!

Maybe you should have others to date also, then you won't get stuck on someone that's not stuck on you, and you will enjoy all your options, and opportunities to get to know others.

Just keep it real, and keep it honest, is all.

Be in control of what you do.

You're the boss.

What makes you feel good & what doesn't.

Who's cool & who isn't.
There's lots of people to meet.

Decisions, decisions...

All good answers from your peeps. Try not to make a big deal out of it if and when you talk to him again.
Don't be angry with him but don't commit either. You don't have to play games but do what you want and don't expect anything in return from this guy. He may wonder and "come around" or he may not.

Best to you, either way.

This sounds more like casual dating than a relationship, especially with the "date one day of the week" idea. It seems like you are the Thursday girl, get rid of this guy, and be with someone that is going to give you the attention you need, not someone that neglects you in this manner. Don't wait for him to "come around" just leave.

Thanks all for your honest, candid feedback. I ended it, blocked his number and email address. I'm donezo. I think I need to take a look at my own confidence and self-esteem by the fact that I was willing to put up with less than I deserve. Good riddance :-)

Let him go. For one you deserve better than that. If he blew you off for as he would say a friend he is not worth it. Apparently it is more than friends and your getting the bad end of the deal. Don't waste your time.
