Why is he so wishy washy about making plans?

Anonymous
I've been seeing this guy. I like him but I'm getting frustrated. He made plans to hang out with me, twice and both times I sat at home, waiting around for hours, only for him to not show up, call, text, or anything. He stood me up again and 4 hours after we were supposed to meet up, he apologized and said that he unexpectedly had to work overtime. I didn't bother initiating any more plans with him because I felt that maybe he was busy and needed space.

A few days later he contacted me asking me what I was up to and if I was at home. When I told him that I was at home, he asked if I wanted to hang out with him that night. I said yes, I would love to and got silence from him. No response to texts or calls. He contacted me again a couple days later and made last minute plans to hang out at a time that he knew that I would be unavailable. I always volunteer at the hospital on one day a week at the same time every week. I let him know that I was busy doing that but would like to see him so could we make plans for a different day. He did this again, on Thanksgiving. He contacted me to let me know that he was near my home and wanted to see if I wanted to hang out when he knew that I'd be with family. Does he expect me to just sit at home, waiting for him all the time or drop everything for him with no warning? It's not that I can't be spontaneous. I have a flexible schedule (I work from home) but I feel like I've been spending too much time sitting at home, hoping and waiting on him to make plans with me. I'm home most of the time but the minute I go out to lunch or dinner with a friend or visit family, suddenly he wants to come over asap. It's like he has some kind of radar that whenever I leave my home he wants to make last minute plans with me. What gives?
