I feel like all I get are girls canceling on me. I get more cancelations than I do dates. I’m a punctual guy so I always try to plan ahead or confirm what I’ve got going on. That being said…

I was talking to a girl I met at a party back in February. We’ve been talking ever since then and made plans to grab a bite to eat and take a long drive somewhere. I didn’t hear from her at all yesterday so I texted her once in the evening about what time is good to pick her up and again an hour later asking to let me know as soon as she could.

I woke up to a text saying:

Hi I am so sorry. I was very excited for today but I’m going to have to cancel. Yesterday I spent the day with my ex and now I’m just very confused about my feelings. I don’t think that’s not fair for you. I hope you understand!

I was starting to develop a crush on her and it took me a while to get over a bad breakup (basically through quarantine). Now I need to work through this and try to not let it get to me. I’m glad she was honest but I’m so bummed. I haven’t responded and I’m not sure if I even should. Part of me wants to ask if she wants to hang out anyway, no strings attached, with respect to what she wants to do. Another part wants nothing to do with her now so I can steer clear.

I feel so bad about this. I got so excited…
