You know a guy who always says we can do this or that sometime, but then it never happens. He'll always say maybe we can go out Tuesday or Friday, but not if I have something I have to do(visit sister, sick relative, work, ect). Or if you do hang out, then he's texting the entire time. One particular guy I know in my life does this all the time. He'll ask to do something and then say he might not be able to do it. I have better things to do with my life than wait for people to decide if they want to see me or not. How can people be so insensitive? So why are guys like this and what do you do about them?

Don't waste anymore of your time on him and move on to someone who is into you and will give you the time of day and respect you deserve.

Guys like this are only out with you because they have nothing better to do (i.e. they are douchebags), and what you can do about them is very simple...cut them off, and cut them out of your life. Why would you want to hang out with someone who places so little value on you?

Well...

I'm not like that.

I'm a guy.







I guess I'm the black sheep of the group.

But what if you can't avoid seeing him for whatever reason?

In what sort of situation? You can certainly make the decision not to socialize with him (i.e. go out with him and have him ignore you, or blow you off at the last minute because something better comes along). If you HAVE to see him (i.e. at work, etc.), then just stop making nice with him on a personal level, and keep it professional.

See him for whatever reason you have to see him (work, school, neighbor, whatever) but keep it as nothing more than whatever that relationship is that forces you together (co-worker, classmate, neighbor...).

Might try dating a man instead of a flighty little boy that acts like a little girl...date someone slightly older...If you are 20 and he is 20 - you are actually dating a 15 year old boy....what do you expect out of a guy who's favorite woman is his mummy.?

Never have experienced this and never will allow it if it came my way. You don't have to put up with that. The guy would be dismissed--no hesitation. It's called expecting nothing less than respect.

Last guy who acted like that with me got his number blocked. I am sure he has no idea why! Doofus.
