I've been dating this guy for about 4 months and lately he's been canceling our dates. This past Saturday we were suppose to hang out he texted me the same day telling me he had to go into work, I haven't heard from him until today, he called asking me why haven't I called him, I told him I've been busy, he gets mad and tells me I will talk to you later. Is it me or is this guy playing mind games

After 4 months of dating, I think it would be fine to tell him frankly "Look Jim, you have been cancelling our dates. I was kind of getting the message that you didn't want to see me, so I was respecting your decision. If this is not mutual, I am not going to chase after you."

Petunia used to date him...met him on kettle of fish or bag a date or whatever....they went to a coffee shop, both espoused they were looking for that special someone.....two days later, after they "dated" the heck out of each other and did things she hasn't done since her honeymoon and first affair, she wanted "more"....he stopped returning her calls and blocked her on the sites....now she's madder than a midget at a slam dunk contest....

Sound familiar to any of you women out there???

Getting mad over something like that is a red flag, IMO. Over the 4 months, have you two been calling each other a lot, during the week? How many times has he cancelled recently? Does that seem like it's out of nowhere--had you been getting along well? If you want to give it one more chance (in spite of what seems like unjustified anger), you could text him to ask why the frequent cancellations lately, and say you'd assumed he'd moved on, and ask if everything's ok. Only you can decide, in view of your past interactions, how big a red flag the anger would be.

This sounds like two teenagers who haven't learned how to communicate within a relationship yet.

Sounds like a player. Don't be surprised he's probably seeing other girls. When he wants you, he guilt trips you. When he doesn't, he cancels dates.

Sounds like he is doing everything.

Then he waits to see if you will do something but you didn't.

Self-examination is key here.
