Guys are weird

I had a lunch date scheduled for tomorrow.   He didn't really cancel our first date but we tried to schedule something for last week and nothing panned out.  I sent him an email yesterday to confirm a place and time.  Keep in mind this guy is 37 (same age as me) and initiated contact with me, and asked me to get together in the first place:

Good morning. I apoligize for being so disrespectful. I'm going to swallow my pride and be honest with you. You're a beautiful young lady, confident, and successful. While these are very attractive attributes, I'm still trying to work my way through school and find my find my way in life. Simply put, the thought of taking you to lunch is a exciting, but I couldn't convince myself that I'm what you're looking for. Thank you for handling this with class. If you would still like ti get together sometime is like that. Hell, I at least owe you lunch!

Re: Guys are weird

  • What?  Does he want to go or not?  lol!
    The day I left was just my beginning.
  • Huh? At first at sounds like a blow off but then he says he'd like to see you. I'm confused too! If he's telling the truth about why he's canceling I'd say he's pretty insecure and you probably saved yourself a bad date anyway!

    Sounds like he is a lost soul with some low self esteem.

  • I don't know...I don't think it's that bad really? At least he was honest.

    I wouldn't go out with him though. It sounds like it would confuse him even more than he already is feeling about himself.

  • I had one very similar to this.  The guy initiated contact with me, we were emailing back and forth, he said he wouldn't be interested in a relationship with me.  I told him, ok thanks for being honest.  Good luck and take care.

    Then he asked if I still wanted to go out.  Huh?

    My take....I was good enough to be a FWB.  I told him to go F himself. 

    Block and delete!

    I see this as the opposite, someone who is overconfident trying to come out sounding like a gentleman by offering lunch in liu of cutting things off like he has a Heart still...

  • This guy reaffirms taking a "trust your gut" approach.  He seemed decent, but put a few too many lols and ha ha has in his emails.  I'm staying away from those from now on.
  • Grammar errors all over that. I can't follow his train of thought either. Train wreck.
