Meredith, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this column. You are your readers are the absolute best!!!
Here's my drama:
I have been dating a man for three months. He's generally a great guy but he has one problem -- he is NOT very reliable. At first it was little things like being an hour late for a date so we'd miss a movie or 'forgetting' that one of his kids had to be somewhere and rescheduling our date for the next day. Last night, however, was the kicker. He called me to cancel 45 minutes AFTER he was supposed to get here. Needless to say I felt like a total fool after sitting on my couch all dolled up only to be completely and totally stood up. His only excuse was "I'm just really tired." That would have been a lame excused 1 hour BEFORE the date was supposed to happen. It is a downright horrible excuse 45 minutes AFTER he was supposed to be here. After this incident I told him that we needed to take a break during which time he needed to determine whether he really wanted to be in a relationship with me or not. He seemed genuinely shocked and upset about this. However, my gut is telling me that he can't really be that into me or he would not treat me that way. I have NEVER been treated that way and deserve better. So, what do you think? Am I over-reacting? Is it possible that this guy just operates at a slower speed and I should just get used to it -- or is he not really into me as I suspect? As always, I appreciate the thoughts of you and your faithful readers.

Diva sez: No, I don't think you're overreacting. Why doubt yourself?
