[quote=Anonymous]You likely did dodge a bullet op. A few thoughts though in case you are interested. First, we all know that family trumps a stranger. That being said, conveying that attitude turns people off. All you had to do was schedule the date for after your dad's surgery. Remember, your mom and dad were strangers before they met and had they not conveyed to each other that they both mattered, you'd not be here. Second, what was up with rescheduling the date for an hour earlier? That's just screwing with the guy. It says that you don't view his time as valuable, that he's got nothing better to do with his time then adjust his schedule. It also comes across as you having gotten a better offer. The offer could be nonsexual, you could have gotten the chance to go flying and wanted to take it. Still, changing the time by an hour conveys the attitude that you just want to get this date over with. Now, the guy could have texted back and said "I'm no longer interested". He didn't and that doesn't speak well of him. If you try dating again, be it online or not, make plans and stick to them. If you agree to meet on Friday at 7, then meet at Friday at 7 unless you both decide you want to go see a ballgame and it starts earlier. Second, don't waste time talking. Either people can and want to meet up, or they don't. Any monkey can send emails and texts. Be clear in your goals and don't take less from anybody else. Lastly, treat people as if they matter to you. If you go through life conveying the attitude that your current circle of family and friends will always take priority, then you won't meet anybody be it romantically or socially. People won't invest in you if you convey to them that you won't do the same. Chalk this all up to a learning experience. [/quote]
