This guy I've been dating was supposed to call me to see a movie today. He left a message earlier saying he had to cancel, and to call him back. Fair enough. So he called back just now, saying he as at the movie with his friends. I feel disrespected. Why would he just cancel on me, only to go out to the SAME movie with his friends?
You know... Some people on this site might suggest that you talk to the guy... Tell him how you feel... From my wealth of dating experience... I'd like to say...
No.
The truth is... It sounds like this guy is "just not that into you." If he was... He wouldn't have cancelled to go see the same flick with his friends. If he was into you, he would have been spending time with you... not acting like a jerk.
My advice is... Drop him. He's not worth wasting your words on, nor your time. Don't call him, and if he calls you... Tell him that his actions were very inconsiderate and that you don't have time to waste waiting by the phone for him to call. You're not being rude, you're being honest. Then... Date someone else. Someone that values your time enough to cancel for a legitemate reason.
Also... Run to your local bookstore and buy a book called, "He's Just Not That Into You," by Greg and Liz. It's practical, honest dating advice from a normal guy that will take a lot of the guess work out of your interactions with the opposite sex. Every single woman venturing into the dating world needs that book! [ MW8305's advice column | Ask MW8305 A Question ]

He definitely practiced improper etiquette, here. He made plans with you and then bailed out to go to the movies with his friends instead. That is never a good way of going about things. He should have went to the movies with you, considering you were the first he had plans with. Then again, he IS a guy, and guys do weird things sometimes.
HOWEVER, do NOT jump to conclusions. Meaning, don't just go ripping his ass about how he bailed on your date. He may have a valid reason as to why it was more important he go with his friends, so give him a chance to explain himself. [ Brandi_S's advice column | Ask Brandi_S A Question ]

I think you need to talk to this guy and let him know that you are upset!
Tell him that you had plans with each other and you were looking forward to it and then was disapointed!
Tell him your upset and that you really like him but this just isn't on!
If you really do like him then don't scream and yell at him to make him run away but you do need to let him know how you feel. Its not fair on you! [ Roxy07's advice column | Ask Roxy07 A Question ]
