...although he had said he'd text me when he was on his way, until I heard differenty I was expecting him late afternoon as before and had got a special dinner in and everything and had planned a nice evening for us.
Time dragged on and hours passed I called him a couple of times to make sure he wasn't working late or something as he hadn't said otherwise, but all I got when I rang was voicemail so could do no more until I heard anything.
Evening became late evening, I still hadn't eaten as I thought he might call any minute to say he was nearly there.
I finally got a text from him at 9pm!
Apparently his mum was ill and he was going to be staying over at hers. Well, I thought fair enough, as family has to come first, and that at least put my mind at rest that he hadn't had an accident or something - though I was hurt that he hadn't contacted me before I ruined dinner and worried myself to death.
I was ok about it though and said we could reschedule things. He said he'd call when he got back. All seemed fine. He was saying how much he was looking forward to seeing me again.
I just sent a text each day to see how he was doing and that his mum was okay. I finally got a call back from him on the Tuesday night.
He'd decided that he's going to make a go of it with his ex, doesn't want to hurt me etc.
I said that's cool and we can be mates, because if anything we get on terrifically well. He thought that was great as he hasn't got many friends to confide in.
Of course it hurt me like hell, but I didn't show it.
I've heard nothing since, which I suppose I shouldn't be surprised about, as most men can lie to olympic class for their countries.
WHY don't men want nice guys????
