Is it normal for a guy to be unable to make it for a date because of work?

This guy who claimed he likes me asked me out for dinner last Friday. As I didn't feel like having dinner, I rejected him but later on messaged him to say that I'm okay to go for drinks after my setup at 10pm. He did not reply until evening and said sorry he was really busy at work and that he might not be able to make it for setup, as he has a lot of work to complete.

He did not turn up for the setup... I'm upset. Is it normal for guys to act like that? Or was he just joking when he asked me to go for dinner? I dont know.

Is It Normal?

    first of all Corb11 , guys are not complicated, i know cause im a guy with more balls than u thats for sure. however i know what u mean, i agree with you but u just made it sound super gay. what happens is that the guy asked u out for dinner and when you rejected him his ego automatically rejected u. probably he said something to himself like..'fuck that bitch she has ugly ears anyway' (no offense if u have ugly ears was just an example) so when u msged him back 1. he wanted to get back to u in an obvious way, however not so direct (not like you did). 2. you tried to be in control of the situation by rejecting him first, then accepting him later. he is not your lapdog. u had ur chance and u blew it. the guy doesnt need ur simpaty, not anymore as he realized ur ears are too ugly and ur not worth it. 3. this chap is quite a smart guy, u should appreciate that about him. only a horny desperate loser would accept to go out with u after what u did. he noticed that ur simply too much of a smart ass to accept to go out with him and he decided to go for somebody who isnt a snob. guys want to be in control of the situation, this is something natural and girls are to make guys feel like they are in control (even if we aren't!) but atleast make it seem like we are....hey....we are guys...we need our pride (even if it's fake!) anyway good luck and next time a guy u like asks u out accept and dont try act like a smart ass. u dnt need to shout with joy just say..yea sure lets meet up. happy hankies

    Okay, guys are complicated ( I should know I am one ) and you really hurt him. I know you didn't do it on purpose but asking a girl out isn't easy for some guys so he probably had to build up his confidence a lot before he did. Then when you rejected him he probably felt worthless and you may have destroyed him. That's why he didn't want to go out for drinks, he was either so depressed he didn't feel good enough for you or he may have been angry with you and wanted you to feel the way he did.
