These are guys who had dating options they believed to be more desirable than you.

This doesn’t make it right that they stand you up and ghost you.

That is rude and inconsiderate.

That being said, these guys have already done everything but verbally tell you that they are about to stand you up or ghost you.

Case in point, you are the one who has repeatedly asked to meet.

When you are the one who is constantly having to remind the guys that are supposedly courting you about meeting on a date, they are already demonstrating that their interest in you is weak.

Think back to your interactions with these men.

How many times have you asked them about meeting for a drink or dinner?

It has happened several times, hasn’t it?

This is your first clue that these are men who are talking to other women of higher priority than you.

He is far more interested in the girls that are of higher priority to him than you are.

When he stands you up or ghosts you, he has either already lined up a date with one of these girls, or believes a date with said girl is imminent, and would much rather wait on that date than invest the time and money to meet you.

Whenever you realize that you are the one who keeps asking about meeting, you are on the verge of getting stood up or ghosted by a guy.

Sadly, he is a time waster and you are better off cutting him off immediately.

By putting in more time than is necessary with a guy that has not been proactive in asking you to meet, it is that much harder for you to handle the inevitable fallout when you are stood up or ghosted.

This is not the first time that these guys have stood up or ghosted a girl.

These are guys that actually like having a girl on their back burner.

He already knows that he isn’t all that interested in the girl, but wants to keep her around in case his efforts with girls he has prioritized over her doesn’t work out.

In the meantime, he wants to get his ego boosted by the girl’s admiration.

He likes it when he hears you talking about his good looks, intelligence, insightfulness, bravado, etc.

All of this inflates his ego.

While he keeps you on his back burner, he uses you for compliments and admiration.

You know that a guy is using you as an ego boost when he spends far more time talking about himself than he does talking about you.

He doesn’t bother all that much to ask you questions about yourself, nor follow up on the few questions he does ask of you.

You are the one who asks the bulk of the questions.

Whenever you compliment him, he doesn’t compliment you back all that much, but for a few phrases every now and then.

All of this is a warning sign that he is a time waster.

He is far more likely to stand you up or ghost you if a date is arranged.

Cut him off early so that you never have to deal with this eventuality.
