Help! Man trouble... - Page 6

I seriously doubt he's playing games. When I got together with Klara I made her perfectly aware of my priorities.

1. Job
2. Her

I'm at the age where I need to prioritise my career and she understands that (luckily for me).

I'd say it's likely that he does have to do paperwork (remember when you are in the military you have to do what you are told) so when you do get round to seeing him ask him straight where his priorities are (I suspect they will be the same as mine) and then decide if you are willing to base a relationship on those priorities.

Im not flipping out or anything but as hes off on a months leave hes had all day to do his paperwork, in time to clear his evening so he could see me.
Ive had to work 10 hours today and am shattered but was still ready to go out this evening so we could see eachother.

Never mind.

Not trying to defend him (hell, if it was me asking you out then I'd make the time!) but I can understand the overabundance of paperwork issue... I've been up to my eyeballs in it for the past month, a situation which was exascerbated when my boss resigned leaving me in charge of the department and all the queries from the rest of the council...

I may clear my paperwork in the next fortnight (might)...

But saying that then I'd ensure I had the time to take a lovely young lady out of an evening!

I'd have taken you out... ok it's a bit of a drive from London, but I had no paperwork to do!

Why read something into an text that may not actually be there?

He has said he wants to see you again, so why get worked up over something YOU are reading in the text

Agreed. You've met once so far (if I've read the thread properly) so he's not going to just suddenly drop his work life for you right now. It was probably genuine so don't read too much in to it. If he is making excuses then you'll soon know and then you can knock it on the head.

We've been out on 2 dates so far, I didnt get the phone call he said he would make last night either.
Ive put my "I dont give a crap" head back on and cant be arsed to chase him anymore.

Probably for the best, it's hard not to get a bit wound up when you meet someone and you make pictures/thoughts in your mind as to what's going to happen - then it doesn't it sucks.

Ah well, shrug it off, get back to your life and if he calls maybe entertain the idea of catching up with him...

Not every bloke is like that. Some are more sensitive and passionate who will show more willing/keeness. Chin up - don't wind yourself up.

Good on you Girl !

Personally I like it to be all exciting & both players keen, If the other person is all nonchalant (ooo big word) then I just sack them off.
It don't matter how Old I get I still want that excited honeymoon period where all you think about is each other, If it's not there then what's the point.

Going out tonight with a mate to have some drinkies and watch the footy.

I think a major men bashing session will also occur, no offence to all the lovely men on here!!
