Excuse me? He's texting=not communicating, he's constantly cancelling=not spending time with her, she has to call him to make plans=she isn't a priority for him.

Where do you get he's a doormat for her?

He's just not that into you!! Sounds cliche, but it's true. He wants to keep you interested and not cut you off so that you can always be a backup girl. Don't waste your time. You really haven't invested much of your time at this point so it's best to cut him off now. Please, do yourself a favor, and don't put too much thought into it. I have learned the hard way myself. We women have a tendency to sit around trying to rationalize things and believe all of their pathetic lies. When a man is really interested, it will be clear as day. No texting. No games. No B.S. Like I tell my girlfriends when they meet guys like this.. "NEXT!!"

I must say, I dont mind a guy who texts. Sometimes even I dont want to be on the phone. But if he can still see me while he's at it then fine. This guy didnt even make the effort. Thats why I said only texts

Anyway, as an update (fairly quickly) after reading the 1st 2 replies last night, and more on POF, I decided to just (text) end it. I told him that "I'm not interested anymore and that he is boring me now and every weekend is an excuse. And to forget about it". He replied saying "if thats the way I want it then I dont ever have to worry about him contacting me again".

Good! Why would I be worried? If I can wait 4 weekends to see him then I can keep it up for good. I gave him 3 chances. And I watched how as the weekend rolled around he didnt even bother to set plans or text me or nothing. Then he texts me at 3:30 am to say goodnight?

By the way, no this isnt in Conneticut lol.

Huckleberry: Listen, I dont ask for these things he would offer them. For example, on the last date although I asked him for ideas of where to go since I'm not familiar with the area, he kept asking me, what do I want to do. if anything he was making himself a doormat by always letting me run the show.

Okay, so we've agreed that it's not the texting that's the issue. The issue is that he always has an excuse not to actually see you/meet up with you.

I've had that same problem, and told her when she was ready to get in touch with me, she had my number, give me a call. She hasn't called yet.

exactly. But I'm not the slightest bit worried. I always have guys after me, not to sound arrogant but I'm just saying. If he doesnt someone else will.

I'm not waiting for his call. And it comes to mind, on our last date he spent like 10 minutes on the phone during our dinner and then told me that his mom had just up and left the state. Yeah right, probably was his wife/girlfriend.

I think I need to stay away from men who are online on a weekend night. Because if they are home on a weekend night online then something must be wrong. Eventually it shows up somewhere along the line. Like some have said, you have to wonder why they are 'single'.

I agree with everyone here who says there are other women and he wants you on his hook. ChessieMom said it right! Don't spend another minute of thought on this guy.
