My dilemma/confusion? WDYT?

[sweetchix]

A little distraction from the other post...

So I'm supposed to have a date #2 tonight, it was rescheduled from last week due to sitter issues). I texted him yesterday morning at 11 to confirm that we were still on for tonight (My mom is watching DDs overnight for me). I still haven't gotten a text back. But last night be posted some pics of his kids on FB and I commented on his daughter. He responded to my comment. But still not to my text?

I'm trying not to overthink things and give him the benefit of the doubt. He's got 4 kids, and football and school started this week... He's a busy guy. But wouldn't he still have the time to send a quick "yes/no"? I don't think he's blowing me off, but who knows. We seemed to hit it off last time and he's said several times in planning the second that he's looking forward to it. I'm so confused.

So, wdyt?

can you tell if he received the text?
I would just send another one and mention again, since you have your mom watching the girls and want to make sure it's still on

I was thinking that, if I haven't heard from him by 4, that I'd text him again and ask if we're still on so I can let my mom know if she's still watching DDs or not.

I'd just text him sooner vs. later. A quick "Hey! Happy Friday! Let me know about tonight so I can confirm with my sitter if we're still on!"

Text sent.

Sometimes, I read a text, think of a response, get distracted and NEVER RESPOND. It's not intentional. Busy adults, sometimes things happen. If he doesn't respond to your second text, yeah, you may be getting blown off. Sorry.

So he called me. I thought he didn't have any of the kids tonight but apparently he had all of them and they were supposed to have grandma watch them. But that fell through.

So... He asked about next weekend. We rescheduled, again, for next week Friday. He even texted me the conversation between him and this other sitter saying it's guaranteed this time, lol.

I knew this would be the most difficult part for us. So I'm understating with the sitters. I just want to be kept in the loop a bit more so I don't feel like I'm either hounding him for an answer or like I'm being blown off. Phew! I feel better now though. I'm glad he called.

Yep. I did this to XH last night. Read it, meant to respond but didn't, and finally texted back this morning.

Yah, I do this ALL the time, too!

We've now texted a few times since. He's been very apologetic about having to reschedule twice now. I do feel a lot better about it now.
