Hey Guys & Girls

Quick one ish for ya. Went out with a guy 2 yrs ago for 3 months nothing major always got on treated me v well etc, but it just fizzled out & his job as a long distance driver didnt help.

Anyway we always kept in touch after would be in text/call contact every 2 months or so - he would iniate that. Anyway was chatting via text 2 wks ago & i asked him out for dinner, he said ye great fab etc, but when i tried to get a specific nte out of him i got the "Oh sure i could on the continent" I am sorry but i got excited at thought of been taken out for dinner & now i am like Agh!!! All advice welcome on this one, its not romantic - at least I dont thinks so

am..i dont get it..


you asked him out, but you were excited about being brought out to dinner...you asked him! not the other way around..

You say his job is long distance, and you dont understand that he might be away on a night you want to be taken out to dinner???

am...ye finished for a reason, why not leave it at that..

Mr. Incognito

um YOU asked him out for dinner.

Why don't YOU pick the night, or were you asking him out for dinner and then expecting him to do all the running and book the restaurant etc. In for a penny girl............

Be straight with him, ask him to be clear as to whether he wants to take you out or not.

What?

You asked him out, and then you got excited about been taken out for dinner?

Am I missing something here?

*********************************************

Anyway.

Is he still a long distance driver? Does he know his schedule in advance?

Ask him how far in advance he knows his schedule, then make arrangements around his schedule, when he gets it. Simple.

Be prepared to be let down last minute though, it's tough times out there, especially for drivers etc, so he might have to drop everything and go on a job.

Especially if, as you've indicated, there's no romance involved.

Just thinking the same meself. Ya dont invite someone out expecting them to pay. Wouldnt blame him been on the continent. Ya have a neck like a jockies bollox.

you asked him to dinner and thought it meant you were getting taken out to dinner Im very confused...

Also, why?

cantdecide

errr... just arrange loosely what time of the week you want to meet up and don't book anything until the last minute.

He's telling the truth tho, truck drivers esp continental drivers generally don't know their schedules in advance. Basically do what can'tdecide says, it's the only way around it.

Other than that expecting someone to pay after you asked them nout, eh what?????

Hey Guys

Thanks for all the advice appreciate it, re the long distance thing - he generally does know his journeys in advance, i used to work for a company that contracted out to him & other drivers & worked along side him,granted in present climate its a little different now they could find out this eve that they have job tomorrow.

I got excited or a flutter when he was all for it in going out for dinner, as we used to have great fun when out, thats how sad my social life is when i get excited after askin him out for dinner & he says yes!!! I will wait for him to contact me again & ask straight out , no time for messers!!

No.

Book somewhere, then tell him it's booked.

If a job comes up, it won't take much to cancel it.

You're a bit of a messer yourself I think.
