I don't hesitate to ask for help with my school assignments ( he is good with computers, while I am a complete opposite).

This last situation is really strange. Here is our communication:

Sunday:
Him: Would like to come by my place tonight or tomorrow?
Me: I really don't like how you just expect me to show up at your place. I will get bored with it pretty fast... just to let you know.
Him: I don't expect you, I was asking if you would come by. We can go out instead. It would be more fun to go out anyway. I like the places by your house. We should go play some pool. I will look up a place.


Monday: (after texting back and forth the entire morning)
him: I feel like I might have caught a cold or something. Giving you heads up in case I feel like a crap later.
me: we can hang out some other day if you dont feel ok.
Him: i will see how I feel by the time I get home.

Here I make plans with my friend and let him know.

Me: hope you feel better. i have made plans for tonight. We can meet tomorrow or next week.
Him:Let's plan for tomorrow

The next day, he texted me in the morning then at noon to let me know he is stopping by his parents' house after work. And that was it until 8pm, when i got mad and texted him.
That is painful.

The guy sounds really nice, laid back, and easy going.

You do understand that this comes after all the frustration and even a break up over "not going out enough?"

This whole relationship seems bizarre to me. Am I the only person who thinks it is normal to meet at one person's house and then go to a location together if you've been dating for a few months? I can see meeting at the location for the first several dates, but when you're way past that point, unless you're going someplace in the middle, meeting at one person's house makes a lot of sense. You can pick an activity that matches your mood at the time.

I also don't see how visiting your parents is a dump-worthy offense. That is just unbelievably cruel to me. The plans were only tentative for the following day and the guy informed the OP early in the day that he had to stop by his parents' house instead. Family is important and if something comes up with the parents, a sibling, niece/nephew, etc, I am certainly not going to hold it against a date.

yep, exactly. You nailed it. Being nasty about not going out on a Monday or Tuesday is ridiculous!!

I never said seeing his parents was a problem. The problem was he informed me about his plans (he was out of his parents house by 6.30) and never reached out to make plans for us. And never asked throughout the day either.

So this is the absent-minded guy from before??

Would this annoy you?

My advice in that thread still applies. You need to find someone who can read your mind and wants to play by all your rules.

Looking at this thread and the one Wmsn4Life linked, you pretty much have two options, Skyered. You can note that in both threads there was a near unanimous lack of support for your interpretation of things and maybe ponder that, or you can cling to your separate reality, which requires that you believe that 95% of the commenters here are wrong. In that case you remain frustrated.
