Guy (m25) wanted to hang out with me (f25) but cancelled and never followed up.
I met this guy back in 2021. There was a mutual attraction and interest, but I was afraid of relationships and dating and basically couldn't show him that I liked him back. So for the last couple of years, we've been in the talking stage on again, off again.

Back in June, "G" reached out and asked me to hang out, saying he really enjoyed talking to me and wanted to get to know me better. He framed it as casual since he knew I wasn’t really looking to date at the time.

We made plans to meet for dinner and live music. He said he’d pick the restaurant. First, he suggested pizza, and I said I loved pizza. Then he asked about Mediterranean, and even though I’d never had it before, I told him I was open to trying it. Eventually, he said we could just meet up and see where things go.

But then, the day of, he texted me to say he was sick. We talked about rescheduling, but I was super busy for the next two weeks with work and school. He said, “That’s a long time, but you’re worth the wait.”

At the end of those two weeks, he did reach out, and we chatted a bit, but he didn’t bring up making new plans. So about a week later, I asked if he wanted to catch up again, but he said money was tight. I suggested we do something low-cost or free and told him it was fine to wait if that worked better. He said, “Let me think about it,” but never followed up.

Since then, we’ve only talked a little, and nothing has really happened.

Just looking for someone's take on things.
