[quote=Anonymous]I went out with a group of girlfriends last week. Had drinks at a nice bar and ended up chatting with a guy. I don't often meet people in bars so I was surprised that we hit it off. He asked for my number and texted later that night to say "nice to meet you. Traveling for business this weekend. Can I call you next week to go out?" I said yes. Texts me while he's away, then on Wed of following week to set up time to talk, we agreed on 5:30p following day (today). At 5:30 I get a text saying he's tied up at work, I write to say no problem, I'm stuck in traffic, we can talk later. At 8:30p I get a text that's he's "out at an event", and will call me later. It's now 10:20p.

Clearly I'm either not hearing from him tonight or it will be later than is appropriate, so it's a wash. Bummer, as he seemed nice, but that's the way it goes. Fwiw, I'm in my 30's, so I don't appreciate midnight phone calls or drama anymore.

Here's what I don't get: why would you take a woman's number, text her that night with follow up plans, follow up with those plans, then flake? He may just not be that into me; but it seems like a lot of work for a woman you're not interested in.  Also do I just go dark or respond when I inevitably hear from this guy at 1 am (I'm leaning with "go dark").
