I have heard "My car is in the shop" line and or excuse before from a few guys. And this new guy I am talking too has told me this as well. BUT I do not know if it is an excuse or really legit.

I had asked him "Want to meet up this weekend?" He replies with "Can't this weekend my car is in the shop and I have to help with my grandmothers party then clean for the new renters..."

So should I believe him or do you think he is making up an excuse? I've heard it all before from guys and nowadays I don't know if they're telling the truth or lying to me.

Wait, he can't see you because his car's in the shop, but in spite of not having his car, he can go over to his grandmother's? And all these issues, including cleaning for the renters, have all come up on the same weekend? Did you tell him you'd be happy to pick him up in your car? Is this the first time this has happened with this guy? Just call him and tell him you'll pick him up for a lunch break, just for a quick visit. He's gotta eat at some point. Or offer to drive him to his grandma's. That's a good one. See what happens.

Good luck. Report back.

Sure. Why not believe him?

Just let him be the one to ask you to meet up next time.

If he never asks, you'll know he was blowing you off. No big loss.

I don't drive so I can't go pick him up. And his grandma probably doesn't live that far away. And he probably did have all of that other stuff already planned before I even said anything but then again who knows.

Anyway, I will wait until next week and see IF or when he asks me out and as you said if he doesn't say anything then he isn't worth it.

Depends - if this is one-time excuse, it could be very well true.
Now, if he has a different excuse every time you call him and ask to meet - then yeah, that's a subtle hint that he is not interested.

This is excellent advice.

Don't take your past issues out on this new guy. He didn't do anything to you.

You should probably work on the driving thing as it will greatly expand your dating pool.

If he said "my car is in the garage' make sens but in the shop I wonder if he is going to ask you to pay for it?

He probably has a date with another women. Just reschedule.
