Dating ... Failure again.

So this dating thing... I suck at it. This guy was pretty nice, but he wanted to go to dinner and a movie. Sorry, I am just not sure if I am the dinner and a move type. But I did it. And it was ok.

I had a race in Charlottesville over the weekend and I emailed him and told him when I was going to be in town and told him to call me if he was up(! he sleeps way late). No call.

Here is an excerpt from today's email. How do you repsond to this?
I'm glad your race went well. Sorry I've been a jerk and haven't emailed in awhile. I had a really crazy week last week. >>> Anyways, I shouldn't be dating anyone right now because I'm just too confused and stressed and don't know what to do with myself. You're really sweet and so I hope you find someone a bit more stable than me!

  2. I think his honesty is good-- it would suck to have to figure all that out yourself over future weeks or months.... Better to just be straight to the point, and you can get on with other business. I would say "Thanks for your honesty! Good luck with that!"

  3. *sigh* "thanks for trying, when you grow up, you can dump people in person" I think it is a version of the, "its not you, its me" speech. At least, as Sarah ann wrote, he didn't leave you hanging. oh well, you deserve better!!
