I've been going out with this guy for a little bit; a few days ago we hung out and he said he'd call to plan something out for today (Sunday). He didn't call the past few days, neither have I..but he just left me a message that he might have to cancel plans.I can't go out today..but I don't have a good feeling about this- he hasn't kept in touch for a few days, and now he's cancelling. I just have a feeling that I shouldn't make a big deal about him, that he just takes me for granted.
What do you think about all of this? In case it matters, I'm 22. F.

Sigh... Okay. Allow me to put some common myths to rest.

When a guy likes you... He won't cancel. If he does cancel, he'll have a really good excuse. A really good excuse is NOT, "I'm busy." "I'm busy," is the most frequently used excuse by every man on the planet... And it's a load of crap. Trust me... If he likes you, he'll MAKE the time.

And when a guy likes you... He WILL call.

I know because I have dated quite a bit. And you can bet that my boyfriend doesn't treat me the way this guy treats you.

I know the thought that he doesn't like you might hurt... But don't let it. If he doesn't like you... It doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you. You're fabulous. Why would you want to date a guy that clearly can't realize this fact? Wouldn't you rather date a man that does?

So... My advice is... Stop wasting your time with this guy and go find a guy that will treat you like the princess that you really are. ;) And... Run to the bookstore and buy "He's Just Not That Into You," by Greg and Liz. It's a book of practical dating advice that will make your life so much easier. Promise.
