[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me get this straight - he's been askin you out a few times, you've flaked on him, and now you are mad he doesn't make plans after you say "sorry I'm busy"?

Wtf - how is he supposed to suggest a different concrete time without knowing your schedule and with you giving a track record of being unavailable?[/quote]

I told him the day I would get back. Not mad, confused. Like one of the PP said if a guy is really interested he's going to make concrete plans if he knows you're available. I was raised to think the same way so that's why I said I was confused.[/quote]

This depends.  I was also raised with the idea if the guy is interested he will ask you out  BUT you have to give him something to work with so he knows you are interested.  If you have been the one to have the super busy schedule, how does he know that you are not just stringing him along until something better comes along or you are lukewarm so everything but hair washing will come before him?  You do this by being genuinely apologetic when the plans don't work for you and counter with being willing to make the plans that do work for your so you can see him.   As I navigate the world of making friends with other mom's (this has been jokingly referred to as mommy dating) the same sort of etiquette rules apply. If you can never make the play dates other people plan, you offer to host and plan for that date that is convenient to you or else how can I tell you aren't trying to either give a hint or "you're just not that into me" either our kids being friends or us being friends?[/quote]
