    I’m going to try and make this short.

    -Dating for 6 weeks
    -Up until this weekend he has always made plans for a date in advance (at least a few days)
    -We’ve had a date every weekend since starting dating
    -I last saw him Monday but he has kept in contact every day since, usually with a text just saying hi, or something to let me know he’s thinking of me.

    I don’t have reason to believe he has lost interest but he hasn’t hasn’t asked me out for another date. I’m sure I will hear from him but I’m torn as to what do to when and if he does ask me out. Do I accept even though it’s last minute or do a decline, citing fake plans with friends (or maybe real ones if I want)? I do want to see him but I don’t want him to feel like he can do this regularly. Thoughts?

    Make plans and tell him he can tag along if he does reach out.

    Alicia,
    Don’t hold your weekend hostage waiting for him to ask you out. He may have other things planned this weekend that he didn’t mention to you. I’d go plan a weekend with my girlfriends to get my mind off of him.

    Today is Friday so if he hasn’t made plans with you yet and then calls you tonight to see you tell him.

    “Sorry babe, I already made plans wish you would of told me sooner”

    This way he will learn that if he wants to see you he needs to give you at least 3 or 4 days notice. I guarantee you he won’t do it again.

    I’m seeing my guy tonight but we already had this planned since last Friday, (LOL).
    He learned the hard way that if he wants to see me, he needs to give me notice, I’m not accepting last minute dates, sorry.

    This is where woman go so wrong! You need to maintain your normal life as much as possible because the moment you start putting it on hold for a man is the moment the man starts getting that “eeeewwww feeling” because your relying on him too much to make plans and entertain you. Stop this. Continue to make plans and do the things you were doing before you met him or you will lose him.

    Make plans and when he calls and tries to schedule something, say “sorry, but I have plans to do such and such but I’m available on this day or that.” You should never make the man the center of your universe, he should be a bonus—an additional part of your fun and exciting life that brings some extra happiness and joy.

    Hi Alicia,

    He might be busy seeing family or something this weekend (I am busy all weekend with family this weekend) or he might be also dating someone else. Since you are just dating that is possible.

    I would make plans with my friends if I wanted to and don’t worry about him. Just get on with your life.

    Here is my philosophy on this — all real relationships should have a mix of scheduled and impromptu…. that said, here are some guidelines…

    If he is stepping up consistently – by all means accept a last minute date, if you are available

    If he is not – do not

    And never stop making plans because you are expecting a date

    Always make your own plans, I am not saying fill up your schedule so much so that if a guy asks you out you won’t be able to say yes for a month, just make some reasonable plans and don’t hold out for a guy.

    When a woman does (holding out) this it’s b/c she is in a mind-set that ultimately men pick up on and is actually not very appealing to the male mind. Men love women who have their own lives and aren’t sitting around hoping and wishing for a date with them…weird huh…I mean they do love themselves they just wonder about that woman who loves them too much too soon that they’d clear their schedule and pencil everyone else in but that guy himself.

    And if for some reason you don’t have a plan cause all your friends are busy or you didn’t find anything you want to really do or you scheduled a movie at home with a pedicure for your own self and this guy then happens to ask you out —NEVER EVER LIE AND SIT ALONE AT HOME WHEN YOU COULD HAVE BEEN ON A DATE. Just say yes and enjoy the date. Men know the difference between a woman simply being spontaneous and a woman who “held her weekend hostage” love that phrase of Khadija’s above….. for him. Saying no to a date then doing nothing alone means you are game playing and that never works in the long run.

    So if you end up with a weekend plan and he calls last minute for a date, you stick with your plan and say “Sorry babe, I just made plans the other day, when else is good for you to get together?”. If you end up not with a plan, you say yes if he asks you out…it really is that simple.

    Absolutely no, establishes you are good with last minute, and don’t be available EVERY weekend. Guys will get bored and you need to keep him on his toes.

    If he has asked you in advance for all previous 6 dates, and he asked you out for this date in the last minute, accept it. It’s not like he has a habit of asking last minute; that would be a totally different story. Also, he has asked you out 6 times already. Relationships are a two-way street. He has asked you out 6 times already and you are irritated because he hasn’t asked you out for the 7th date. Seems kind of selfish and princess like to me. By the 5th date, you should really be asking the guy out every now and then. Relationship are two ways, and if you don’t make efforts yourself, the guy can sense that and move on. If I were the guy, I would have dumped you with your bad attitude. Not fair for the guy to always ask you and you never taking the initiative. That’s just a one-sided relationship. Stop playing games and YOU ask him out.

    Keep him on his toes? Looks like you are looking for a pet dog, instead of a man.
