The date was scheduled for Saturday. We've been talking for two weeks. He was out of town thursday and friday. I talked to him on the wednesday before he left and his last words were call me when I get back. but he was in a hurry so I didn't bother to clarify, that if he's taking me out on a date he should be the one calling me. I gave him the benefit of the doubt-maybe he got his words mixed up or something. So saturday rolls around and he doesn't call me till 7:30pm. his message goes : call me and his text says "Are we still up for tonight?" I never called him back. Cause in my opinion, the fact that it took him that long to contact me is simply rude. Even though he asked me to call him, he's the man and a man in my opinion takes charge of a date, if he cares enough to get to know me more. what do you guys think?

I feel that 7:30 is a bit late if the guy really wanted to see you. Sometimes, we give guys the benefit of the doubt. Listen to your gut. What does it tell you? is he a good guy? Does he seem honest? sincere? any red flags? Let him contact you. The old rule still applies "If the guy wants you, he'll come after you". This is an oldie but a goodie. If he's interested, he ain't goin' nowhere honey. And if you don't hear from him again, well- forget about him cuz he's not interested enough. Just don't be angry about it or take it personally. There are so many other guys out there for you to meet.

Yes, this is the 21st century. If you want the caveman days of yore back when men drug their women around by their hair to the cave for a romp by the fire, YOU need to speak up.
It always takes 2 to tango, that will never change. Before the finger pointing begins... ask what you could have done to help the situation in a positive & negative way. Communication is always key in everything, we all would be lost without it.

i think you're being too hard. i think you should answer him, give him the benefit of the doubt. Unless this is something that he has done before, then you have no reason to not hear him out, text him and catch up. And as for a man being in control of a date, get real chick, this is the year 2007 not 1907.
Good Luck

For goodness sake, this is the 21st century. Men and women are equal. What's wrong if you were to call him? And now you're getting sensitive. Text him back and see what happens next. As for his 'delayed' in texting him, he could be held up over something so its best not to assume he's got nothing to do upon his arrival except to call or text you.

why should the man be in charge of the date? i think you should call and ask what happened. he probably was busy with other things. if he doesn't say sorry, forget about him but first give him a chance. guys and girls should take charge. it's not the 1950's anymore.

I think you did the best thing...maybe your standards are higher than what he can give. if he truly likes you he will make things right if you still like him i think you should explain the misunderstanding and let him know you are more of a old fashioned girl i mean that as good. if you still like him i think it can work..sometimes men just need alittle boost.

You didn't even give him a chance to explain! Not fair. Sorry, I can't stay down with the girlz this time. You were wrong!
