...and in another relationship (is what I think). Why is he saying you have 'trust' issues? Does he not realize that canceling three times in a row is a failure to fulfill an obligation on his part and that it is he who should be apologizing? From what I've read you're normal and not selfish.

You aren't normal at all if you are fussing over some old man you have never met and posting about it on a forum. Seek help.

3 x in a row?
Ohhh noooo! Its excuses, and he wants to run you, and this relationship.
Tell him not to worry about the 4th date, because there will not be one! Move on!

And I was just like, is it wrong that I felt like that? In my point of view, I think it's common to feel like rubbish when you got canceled even though you know its necessary to cancel... I mean, it's 3 cancels in a role, I don't know how big is 3 times in a role since he's my first boyfriend. But anyway, I always felt excited everytime that I'm gonna meet him and when the "cancel" comes up, it makes me feel a little down.. PS. He's many years older than me... Am I normal? or am I selfish?
He's just not that in to you and he's a jerk besides...looking for a way to blame YOU. Dump him and move on.

I can sum up his treatment of you in 3 words: Manipulative, controlling, and abusive.
Agreed!

This guy could be a workaholic, where work will always come first.

Always. No matter if you're a star athlete in the bedroom, or the best cook in the neigborhood.

He's not into you. I wouldn't buy what he has given you as excuses, cut this one loose, there are alot more fish in the sea.
