I hear ya, WiB! Hope for the best, but expect the worst. If this guy's already been cancelling on you and making you mad, that's already a red flag. I tend to give the benefit of the doubt in the beginning, but when I keep getting disappointed, I let 'em go.

Well he hasn't actually made me mad yet! First one he let me know Thursday that he had to work late Friday and rescheduled for today and I don't think he expected moving to take so much out of him today. So like I said, I understand, but now it's time to show me some follow through. We were texting and joking around for a while earlier and he was making typical guy comments about sex and what would happen if things went well tonight and he said let's get outta here.. I'm like I'm not interested in a quick hitter.. been there done that got the tshirt. I said that girls who give it up right away get no respect and get tossed in the booty call bin. I told him if things went well, that'd mean he'd get to see me again. And he's like That sounds great actually. The entire conversation was actually pretty funny and I think he was just being a typical 20 something guy seeing whether I was a hookup girl. He's like Most girls would've told me to F off by now and I'm like I'm hoping you're just screwing around and that's not all you're interested in after all this time. So if that's really all he wants, he'll disappear for good. And if he's interested in something more, he'll follow through. But I'm happy I put up boundaries and made it clear I'm not interested in a one night stand. And at least he thinks seeing me a 2nd time would be great.. assuming we can get to the 1st time lol.

Well, I hope it works out for you then!

Me too.. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt since he's been trying for so long but I won't give him too much of one!

In honor of Father's Day, I have a question for the ladies: Did your dad ever give you dating advice? Mine didn't (and still doesn't), but I wish he would. He's not perfect, but he's a good man, and his opinion matters a lot to me. He never even gave me the "boys are only after one thing" speech
So did your dads give you advice or tips? I'm curious to know what they said

My dad was never much for advising us on the dating front, but the one thing he's always told me was - "If a guy treats you right, the way you should be treated, then I won't have a problem with him." He's never tried to steer me towards one direction or another; he let me make my own decisions - dating or otherwise.

However, the way he has been with my stepmom is a guide for me, at least - I see how he considers her a part of a team with him and doesn't assign the usual gender roles in the relationship (although he mopes if he doesn't help with the heavy duty stuff), went on road trips and tried new things with her, and they have certain songs and jokes they share between them. So I guess you can say he's a blueprint for what I need to find in a man.

Got a date this week! Actually, this is #2. Been talking with this guy for a few weeks (met over PoF), and we finally met up late last week. He's super cute, a few years older than me, and DEFINITELY CF! A man of my heart! He even loaned me a flash drive and a movie we talked about recently over the phone. We send each other funny pics too, or things that look cool. I have a good feeling about him, so we shall see. Keeping my fingers crossed!

My dad never really gave me dating advice, no. Plenty of self-defense and financial advice, though.

Vik, he sounds awesome! Hope your date goes just swimmingly.

Good luck Vik! I'd love to hear a happy ending!

Having fun flirting via text with one of the POF guys today...all totally innocent stuff, too! It's definitely helping me get through my Monday
He said something about Cary Grant, and I told him he was much better looking than him (which is true IMO) and he told me he was blushing, and that it takes a lot to make him blush. I'm just that good
