When he doesn't say?

[Gosselinfan]

Why would a guy say he's going to help you then say he can't at the last min

[Novacane]

He probably felt some guilt about the situation so typically feels the need to say they will be there, but once they go over it they typically feel that they shouldn't have to and then back out.

It all depends on what he is helping you with & what he gets out of the deal.
As for me if say I’m going to help I’m going to help unless I’m sick or something.

Cause he probably figured you weren't going to give him any sex for helping you. He's not about to waste his time on someone that's not going to do anything for him.

You never know what might come up with someone.

[shades777]

you wanna give more context, help can mean literally anything like changing a transmission or grabbing bbq sauce from the top shelf

Help you what?
