Had the most awkward fiirst date last night.........

anyways......we were suppose to go out on our second date tonight. first date was about a week and half ago. first date as i mentioned in the initial thread was really good. everything went perfect as far as i'm concerned. even got the thumbs up from her mother she said and mom couldnt stop talking about me. done and done haha.

so far since i've been talking to this girl we've made plans to go out 4 different times and 3 of the four have been broken. the 4th was actually the date with her and mom that wasn't even really planned was more spur of the moment kinda thing.

on all 3 occasions we've made plans well in advance and then the date gets broken the day of almost literally a few hours before hand.

first time was about 3 weeks ago she text messaged me around noon and we were suppose to go out that evening. said "something" came up and we had to cancel.

second time was after our first date. we had made plans to go out on the following Saturday days in advance. this was last saturday actually. after not hearing from her all day i get ready head over to her place. as im driving i get a text saying she can't make it, shes sorry but shes been consoling her girlfriend who just found out she is pregnant.

third time is today. we made plans to go out tonight yesterday. she text messaged me and said she completely forgot she had made plans with her friends to have dinner at one of her gf's homes with some other friends.

so.....now we're planning to go out Thursday night......hopefully. LOL.

now we do talk on the phone, she just chooses texting to break the bad news to me. had a great first date yet...so far its been trouble getting together from her end for some reason.


is the above any cause for concern? red flags in any of this?

Move on..find a woman who would be happy to go on a date with you..
Tell her when she calls..oh I assumed you were going to cancel like always so I asked another woman out..Im taking her out..then say bye and hang up..

Usually, when the mother approves of a guy, the daughter will go against the mother's wishes. You should have pissed off the mom instead; then this chick would be all over your nuts.

That thought crossed my mind as well. I know that if I have concerns about a man my daughter is dating, she'll defend him, but if I really approve of a guy, she'll find plenty of reasons to dismiss him.

I don't know know why, but it's the truth.

Directed towards the OP...

Wow I am sorry and as a woman feel bad...

I am going to say this as gently as I am able...

You had what YOU called a odd date but productive...it was the mother and friends?
To be honest this does not mean that you were in the door and despite the thumbs up from her mom and friends it does not necc. reflect her feelings for you...


I honestly give you kuddos for being so flexible and making the best of a situation this to me shows endearing qualities in a man...keeper stat..

But the following dates that were broken? No..I could understand the last minute for a friend whom found out she was preggo..big deal but all the others? She forgot? How do you forget a date with a guy that your mother approved of unless you really are not that into him?

You seem to have character and tenacity so for this simple reason I am not going to tell you to quit..But honestly a man that is like you? Yo9u should keep yourself open for other women tht may be interested and more appreciative of you..

Does a house have to fall on you?
On the outside chance that she really does like you, you must play hard to get at this point until she makes several attempts to contact you.

I've had to cancel plans at the last minute early on. But I profusely apologize and take the lead in re-scheduling. If you're doing the re-scheduling work, don't waste your time. And I wouldn't let it happen 3 times in a row.
