Would You Even Bother?

[DaisyMN]

I met a guy a few months ago, but the timing was not quite right yet for me to date and there was an age gap (being that I'm 29 and he's 20) so wasn't sure if I should pursue anything.

 

Fast forward a couple of months later and we get in contact again. We made plans 2 weeks ago, but something came up on his end and he suggested going out for dinner the next day and I should call him. I give him a call the next day, get his voicemail, leave a msg., and haven't heard from him since until today when he called and left a voicemail to see what my plans were this weekend.

 

My question is should I even bother responding? What would do in this situation?

I would say don't respond...most younger guys are only looking for some action and why not with and older more experienced woman??? Now Im not saying all guys so he could be different....but Be Cautious

At first I wrote, why not, but then I re-read your post and deleted my own. Didn't catch at first that part where he canceled plans and also bailed on the changed plans. Nah, don't call him. He's too young and flakey at this point.

I was thinking that could be what he was after too. He wouldn't get very far because I'm not sleeping with anyone until I have a ring on my finger

[Scout]

Good for you! I seriously mean that.

[annie24]

Yeah, if he didn't call you for 2 weeks, then just popped back.... blah. Forget him. He's young, he has many wild oats left to sow

[patience]

his behavior is too immature for what you deserve

Thank you for your responses and support!! I really appreciate it. In the past, I probably would have tolerated it because I didn't know enough about respecting myself and valuing myself and, thereforeeee, would have have been a doormat, which didn't do me any good. Nope, not anymore. He is definitely not getting a response from me and that was my first instinct as well. You snooze, you lose
