Dating

Was my reaction to him justified?

I was dating a guy back in July/August when he dropped off. I dated others since, missed the excitement of him and figured I’d reach out for something casual. He said about going on a “proper date,” but he needed a couple of weeks due to previous commitments.

We talked a ton during that time. when the two week period ended, he said he saw no reason he shouldn’t be able to see me next weekend (this one). Wednesday he said don’t be upset, I can’t this weekend. I said you talk to me all the time and mentioned going away for a weekend, but then you’re never available. I said I understand you dating other girls as I’m also dating, but I’m still trying to make time for you. He said there are no other girls (lies) and asked about getting together the next day. Thursday AM he says something came up. He said he knows he’s been a disappointment and I should just drop him until football season ends (he coaches) & hopefully I’ll still be single. This annoyed me because I know he’s just prioritizing other girls. He must have been able to tell I wasn’t buying it because he then called me. He said he’s used to living a very independent life and just isn’t good at making plans. He reiterated that when football ends he will have more time and that he “prays” I’m still available then because he really does want to settle down and wants to see where things can go.

I thought about it overnight and was annoyed about his lies. I don't know why he mentioned possibly dating; if he were interested he wouldn’t wait 6 weeks. I sent a text saying I was moving on. I reiterated I had no expectations of dating but if he isn’t making an effort to fit me in, it just isn’t meeting any of my needs. Also, nothing would be different when football ends because it only hinders Fridays. He acted surprised but it felt good to stand up for myself since I was feeling used. Now I’m worried I sounded crazy. I didn’t want to come across as a pushover. I know this was only casual, but I was justified, right?
