I've been dating someone for a month. I taught his kids many years ago and he's now divorced and asked me out when he saw me online. We were having such a good time, but we were supposed to go out today. He didn't call to confirm and when I finally texted last night. His reply was that he was sorry and would call me in the a.m. When that didn't happen, I texted again and just said that this was quite rude. He finally called at 2 pm, but wasn't apologetic, just stated that he had a big proposal to write and it can make his whole year. He didn't seem to care about brushing me off.

I really don't care that we couldn't get together. I'm understanding. But, why not call me in advance?I've been really good to him the whole time and up to this, he said very nice things and indicated that he is very attracted to me.

Just wondering if he deserves a second chance. I'm very disappointed.

People get busy and life happens; he has an opportunity to make some money which is important. I would not take this as a slight from him and if things have been going right between you two, then there is nothing wrong now.

I hope he didn't take your comments to perceive you as a controlling female.

I guess you will have to get used to the fact that it isn't 'all about you', it is all about the both of you and what you do for a living to enjoy the things you and he will be doing together.

This is the way I see it, so yes, give him a second chance, and maybe a third down the line.

I find that behavior to be quite rude. It only takes a minute to call someone and say, "something important has come up and I can't make it" and then to not apologize for standing you up... I would leave him alone.
