And claims he was "busy"? I have no idea what to say...maybe ignoring him would be best, but it'd be nice to let him realize that I'm not going to be anyone's Plan B or anyone's second choice. I'd rather date someone who is actually interested. He blew it.
I'm a little miffed that someone would even bother trying to ask someone out after ignoring them for so long. How insulting is that?
What do you say? How about "bu-bye" and hang up. (and put his number on the blocked list)
Sometimes silence is the loudest answer of all. Why give him the satisfaction of knowing he got you worked up enough to make an upset call? Let him think you were too busy with your fabulously exciting life dating other much better prospects to even remember who that loser whats-his-name was or why on earth he would be calling. Or have him imagine you laughing and thinking, how pathetic, as you listen to his message, promptly deleting it without a second thought. The knowledge that he's so insignificant and off your radar to not even deserve a call back after his three week ignore will send the message much clearer than anything you'll manage by calling to tell him off, no doubt.
Does anyone give anyone the benefit of a doubt nowadays?

Oh PULEASE! Benefit of doubt my soft buttocks. He is just not that into her. No man is gonna wait 3 weeks to get together with a woman he is TRULY interested in, whether they have had no dates yet or 3 dates.
The only way that would happen is if he or an immediate family member was laid up in the hospital connected to tubes after a severe heart attack, and is now finally out of the woods.
He's just not that into her. Except it..embrace it, and ignore him.

Busy doing what? If he was working, I'd give him a cautious pass. If he was lollygaggin' - bye, bye.
What's the rest of the story? Did you go on a date and he waited this long? Or are you under an illusion that he was somehow obligated to call? Just be friendly and see what's up.
We had gone on about 5 dates, all of which went very well. I thought things were going great, and suddenly he disappeared without any explanation. I did reach out to him once during that time, to put the ball back in his court, but was blown off. :\
It's a real shame, because it's been so long since I was this interested in someone. But I'd rather be alone than with someone who thinks he doesn't have to make time for me. I would have had much more respect for him if he'd come out and said "hey, I don't think I'm that into you".

You may be right there...I'm not out to give anyone an ego boost.

OP if he doesn't want you why waste time. I get sometimes females are annoying but to cut all contact? What the heck!!!??? I mean if the dude is going through something I understand. And if he is I would like some brief communication not just cut off all of a sudden. I guess it's done OP don't be the girl that sits and waits for them. I am aggressive woman myself and I don't put up with this shat period.
You two went on 5 dates, and then he disappeared for 3+ weeks? Ahh, there had better be a death in the family, would be the ONLY excuse I would accept.
