Some of you may think I'm being childish but it's not about that (movies, restaurant)

So can you tell me why it's ok for a women to be unavailable and not a man?

I don't really think this has anything to do with man vs. woman. If I'm understanding correctly, you placed a Craigslist ad (indicating that you were interested in meeting people and available to talk to them) that she answered. Then you start playing phone games, so she moves on to someone who takes her call.

Yeah, but what if she had a legitimate reason for needing to call u back? I totally think it's okay to assert ur self and establish ur standard of what is acceptable and what just plain isn't, but u still have to be flexible. U can't be in a relationship by yourself.

Oh yes he can be in a relationship by himself, he has, and he will. No sooner does he come up with the grand idea of "phone dating" that he creates new rules to further prevent himself from finding a mate.

TVSG if you're going to play phone games, maybe you're not ready to have a special someone in your life.

Replaced? You haven't even MET her yet! I predict you won't meet her *replacement* either for one reason or another...rain, who knows?

Dude, don't take this the wrong way, I think you are probably a pretty nice guy irl, but you have the emotional maturity of a 16 year old.

Hey, rain is a biggie for him. There are quite a few pages in a thread about TVSG cancelling a date due to a chance of rain. By the way, it never rained that night. It's just another way of over analyzing a situation, and talking himself out of going on a date.

Oh come on, if you were intially heavily into this guy, give him another chance.

Don't just up and replace him for no reason.
