    I'm looking for some advice. I put up an online classified somewhere and wasn't really expecting a response but I did get one. He seemed very nice and we were emailing each other, just small pleasantries, nothing majorly heavy, so I suggested we meet for lunch, he agreed and gave me his number. It was planned and then he pulled out. I sent him a text saying would the following week suit, he said he'd get back to me, Am I wasting my time trying a third time?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    I'd be inclined to say the ball is in his court so you should leave it. He commited to getting back to you so you can see how much of a flake he is (or not) fairly easily from this. Or least thats what I'd do. It can easy to be flattered in this kind of a scenario and forget that you still need to be sensible.

    On the other hand nobody ever got anywhere by being a shrinking violet. Stalk him! :o

    Did you exchange any photos or concrete personal details like surnames? It sounds like the idea of meeting a stranger from online has spooked him and he's not coming back.

    I'd wait for him. You offered to meet for lunch, and then offered to reschedule when he pulled out, so it is now his turn to make a move.

    That would be the way I would see it.

    If I were you then I would wait for him to get back to you. If he hasn't got back to you within a week then contact him again and ask how he is keeping but don't mention the date. See what he has to say then take it from there.
