I guess it doesn't really matter, there's the guy who you've been out with five times waiting in the bullpen.

Just an update. I got a text from this guy last night. This is what he said " I really want to see you but you're always too busy. What am I suppose to do? I like you. I want to get to know you. I don't play games. I'm looking for a long term real thing. I think we have potential and may hit it off". I told him it was alright but I'm not available till the following week.

I need your opinion, should I go out with this guy again considering he already dumped me once before, saying he has moved on? And I met a new guy on NYE. Thanks.

So you just repeated, and did not learn from, your past mistakes?! Way to go.

Imagine some fella doing this crap to YOU!

You will forever be married to your job. Congrats.

Exactly. Nothing wrong with being married to your work. It's your choice. Just don't expect it to work out for other people. And it doesn't make them bad people for wanting more out of you either, it just makes them different. If you plan on continuing to go on in the direction you've been in, be fair and honest enough with yourself and others as to what you can give, and let them go if it doesn't work for them. Leave this guy alone. Your expectations do not match up and will only result in unhappiness.

I think her job excuse works perfect for her.
That way, she never really has to enter a LTR.
She tells the guy I'm busy till next week ? 5 days busy ? That poor guy should just move on, as the OP is flat out not interested in him.
And, she already met a new guy. So again, the initial excitement of someone new.

No I want to be in a LTR, but with the right person. We've been out twice but I still have to get to know him. I'm interested but I don't want to concentrate on one guy only if I have other options. I already made plans this weekend so I can't really go out with him not till next week. He's cool with it. All I have to do is to let him know when.

Sounds like the guy is willing to you give you an honest chance, and your head is with someone else. Do the man a favor and break it off.

I don't think he's being unreasonable (unless this all happened in the course of one day).
I agree with the general theme - OP should reply in reasonable time - unless the guy was doing this in a 24 hour or so timeframe.

Did we ever confirm the timeframe involved here?

It happened before with different guys. They just dumped me because I'm to busy to go out with them. I have friends I hang out with on weekends and family I see every Sunday. If I'm free I go out on dates but there are times I want time on my own too and do my own thing.
1. Did the guy know what you do for a living?
2. Is there some reason that evening (even if late) you couldn't have sent him a message?

It's been a while since I dated, but if I was expecting to go out with some guy later that week, I didn't "forget" he called unless I really wasn't all that interested.
