Input: Recently, i (25f) decided that I would dive headfirst back into online dating. I have a young child (~1) so i did not take this decision lightly. I made a few profiles on different sites and away we go. I made it very clear that I had a child in these profiles as not to waste anybody’s time. 

A few weeks ago I started to talking to a guy (30) on one of these websites. We exchange a few messages, he asks me out for coffee and I agree. We meet for coffee, it goes well enough and we agree to arrange a second date. We agree on dinner and a movie for next Saturday, I arrange the necessary childcare and done. 

The other thing I should mention is that he texted me everyday between our first coffee date and what was supposed to be our second date on Saturday. I am not a big texter, I find it pretty exhausting and try to limit the amount of time I spend on my phone. I mentioned this to him on two occasions but it continues, so whatever no big deal we all communicate differently and he seems like an okay guy. 

Fast forward to Saturday morning. I had plans during the day so was getting my little one and I ready for the day. He texts me at 7am, telling me he is looking forward to our date. At 8:30, he texts me and says his friend has called him about his girlfriend sounding pretty distraught, and that he never does this and he’s sorry but he has to cancel and could we reschedule? I say no problem, I understand and sure text me in a little bit as I have plans this afternoon anyways and we can figure it out. I’m a bit annoyed by this development as I’m not able to just make plans by the seat of my pants but whatever, I move on and have a good day. 

He texts me two days later, asking if I’m good for next Saturday and we can just do it then? Unfortunately, I have no one that can watch my child that day so it’s not going to work. I had thought about it over the past couple days since being cancelled on and since this is a reoccurring theme (being bailed on last minute) I decide maybe it’s too early (and too complicated) for me to date and delete all my dating profiles. I text him this pretty verbatim (minus the part about deleting profiles) and apologize that the timing didn’t work out better. 

He says okay, he’s sorry to hear that but understands. he then texts me two minutes later: “can i ask you something honestly? Are you really not ready to date or is it something I did?”. I respond with no, it’s not something you did, I’m just finding it too difficult to constantly coordinate my schedule with someone so i have decided that this really isn’t for me right now, I thought he was a nice guy and I’m a bit bummed out that again, the timing wasn’t better.

He then responds “well...okay. As a guy that’s a little frustrating to hear. If that’s truly how you feel, I recommend you get off dating sites. Again, no hard feelings and I wish you the best”. 

To be honest, this is the straw that broke the camel’s back for me that day. I respond “Wow dude - keep your recommendations to yourself. I’m a person just like you that was just trying to get back out there. sometimes it takes a couple tries to see that something isn’t working. Sorry you’re frustrated but we went on one date, so I owe you nothing. Now it’s your arrogance that’s truly turned me off for good”.  No response back, I delete his number and move on. 

AITA for a) not making more of an effort to reschedule after he cancelled, and b) sending that last text to him in anger?
