I have been seeing this guy and we have been working and going to school together. We usually get together when both of us have a few days off which is usually 2 or 3 times a month. But lately things have come up and he hasn't been able to go out. Both times he had a family emergency so he claimed. So the plans we made have to be ditched. And when I see him at school, he says well go out next time. And because his reasons for not going out are family emergencies I can't call him on it without looking like the bad guy,so what should I do?

IMO he's moved on, just using the family thing as an excuse.

I've used the family excuse thing before, many times. He has probably moved on, but has not told you, so he can still keep you as a friend with benefits.

He is not into you anymore but doesn't want to tell you outright because he sees you at school and work.

The others are right; "family emergency" is an impenetrable excuse. You won't question it, so he's off the hook.


Just be friendly to him but move on.

How about, 'Wow, tell me more about the family emergency that came up between our plans?" Then be quiet. It can be said with concern without being snide or judgmental.

Well he did tell me about the family emergencies he had actually. I just can't be sure whether I believe him or not and what should I do about it?

You were only on dates 2-3 times a month, and now it appears to be less.

I wouldn't put too much stock in a guy who only dated me 2-3 times a month being anything besides a fling.

You don't need to "do" anything about it. The dude has moved on. You need to do the same.
