Is it normal he made such an effort to get hold of me but is blowing me off?

I met a guy saturday - cute, good looking, fun, best kisser I've ever come across. We spent the night together dancing and making out - he asked me to take his number, but I'd left my phone at home. He said his phone was out of battery. I assumed he was blowing me off, but he got me to call his friend's number off my friend's phone (he couldn't remember his) and leave my number as a voicemail. I was skeptical, but did it.

The next day, he actually texted me. I was very surprised, but thrilled as I really liked him - we've been texting since then. He's suggested going on a date a couple times when he's said he's drunk - first time he said 'I wanna see you soon, but after wednesday cuz I gotta sort my shit out', then last night he text me when he was wasted asking for a date on Wednesday night, to which I said yes. Today he cancelled the date saying he'd forgotten he had a party and could we raincheck, but didn't say when.

I feel like he's blowing me off - I know he said after wednesday, but he hasn't suggested another day and the situation just feels weird. But then he went to all the trouble of getting my number off his friend's voicemail and texting me - I don't get it. is it normal to make the effort then just mess me around?

He's just after attention, cut him out 5
He was drunk when he named the date, it was an honest mistake 7
He's making up his mind about you, play the game 2
This is going nowhere 6
He said after Wednesday, what king of paranoid freak are you? 4

    • I don't want to sound arrogant, but I'm quite a good-looking girl. Sounds silly but the reason I was surprised he text me was because I was really overdressed for the kind of club we were in - pencil skirt and heels, whereas normally you'd wear shorts and trainers (it was my friend's birthday and we'd been to a smart bar first, i didn't know we were going raving). He was kind of a hipster and he actually asked me at one point if I normally dressed like that. You get face blindness on MDMA, so what I was wearing is probably mainly what he remembers about me. That is really the only thing I can think of - that and that he's looking for a casual hook-up, hence all the drunk texting. I don't have a problem with casual, but I don't really wanna say that in a text lol.

    "cute, good looking, fun, best kisser"

    Why do you care if he's blowing you off? He's just some random guy to you.

    • It's hard to meet good guys in my area - he's smart and he's into a lot of the same things as I am. I'd like to get to know him better, and obviously no-one likes to be messed around.

    How do you know that it has actually been him sending you those texts and not his friend whom you left your number with? It could be that his friend has been messing with you all along.

    • Hahahaha that made me insannely paranoid for a minute but it's from a different number than the one I called off my friend's phone to leave the voicemail. I guess theoretically it could be but the texts are chatty rather than sexual so I don't think there'd be much comedic value in it...
