Ditch him or give him another chance?

[Anonymous]

So this guy and I met a few months ago at an accepted students day for a college. We just started talking (online and text) and he suggested hanging out. We were supposed to tentatively hang out Saturday (he wasn't sure if he could), and my mom told me today that we had tickets to a sports game that is very in demand so I decided to invite him. He called me for the details and kept a convo going for a good 20 minutes. He asked his mom and then said he actually had work that ended at the time the game started (he tried to find a replacement but the only other kid's birthday was the day of the game) and was "so upset he couldn't go and it wasn't okay." He also said that he really wanted to go just to see me. So obviously I was bummed and I wondered if he made up this work for god only knows what reason. But he said next weekend he can't wait to see me, etc. and texted me the rest of the night, talking about normal things and mentioning how upset he was he couldn't go. So does it sound like a load of BS and should I just forget about him or should I give him another chance for a date?

I think you should definitely give him another chance.

But let him arrange things this time.

i hope it works out

That's def what I was thinking too. But we live in different states and we have to meet in the city which he doesn't know well. So I would have to pick where we'd be going for dinner (he also wants me to choose based on what I like) but I'm hoping he can choose the date.

I think you should definitely give him another chance! Especially since he talked to you the whole night, he definitely seemed disappointed and seems interested in you!

Tell him what kind of food you like and suggest a few places then leave it up to him.Its nice of him to want you to choose what you like though.
