Aries man pulling out of dates

Why an Aries Man Pulls Out of Dates

An Aries man often pulls out of dates when he’s interested but loses momentum, gets busy, or starts second-guessing the situation. In real situations, he may still text back, reschedule, or keep the conversation going if he wants to stay involved. If he keeps canceling without setting a new plan, that usually points to low follow-through rather than strong interest.

I connected with an Aries guy on an online dating app. Conversation is pretty good. He suggested a first date some time ago, but we had to cancel the day of because the weather was atrocious. Since then, the last few times I have suggested we meet up for a date and he's agreed. But then the day of or the night before he'll pull out for one reason or another (sick, work got busy, family event). I'm not sure what to make of it. He is still very responsive and conversational over text. I imagine if he wasn't interested he would ghost altogether, or at least come out and say it. But at the same time he doesn't offer to reschedule. What's up with this? I'll admit I'm really interested in him because it's hard to connect on a basic level with people while OLD the way I felt I connected with him. I at least want to see if the vibe is right in person. Am I wasting my time?

Never chase an Aries! "Responsive" means nothing in terms of romantic interest....he could be bored or just polite. Besides, an Aries would initiate everything if you were top of his list.

If an Aries man isn’t over you like a rash, he’s not interested

I was with two …. very attentive and couldn’t keep their hands off me….

My dad was very affectionate with my mum even though they’d been together years.

That was in a relationship context though. Think about it like this on a dating app there is effectively 1000s of people in a large area, in reality the average man is maybe talking to 10+ at any one time.

We know date one was cancelled due to rain, but who cancelled it. There's also been to much emphasis placed on his sun. He has cancer moon and pisces venus which soften it and probably make him less like to rush. I do agree with what you have written about an aries being proactive, but this is on a dating app and not looking for sympathy but men have the odds stacked well against them compared to women. I do agree he might not be invested or as nobody has said might be talking to other women, but from personal experience if things aren't moving forward people move on and that is why I'm saying ignoring him as others have said is the wrong advice. He's a man first, zodiac is secondary.

Yes true

Modern day dating is fecked up though

Most people seem to be out for a quick shag and then move on to the next one. I really don’t envy anyone who is a part of it.

It’d leave me cold tbh and seems quite stressful.

Same thing was true when I was younger with face to face dating. Technology has simply streamlined it. Who remembers speed dating? Isn't that effectively a right or left swipe only face to face? What about going on the pull? What was the goal; it wasn't a serious relationship by 2am?

Lots of people are looking for a relationship on apps. I guarantee that. I know tinder was a hook up app, but it has moved away from that. Personally I see no problems in people using it for ONS as long as they are on the same page.

I don’t think it’s comparable

Two ltrs I had were with people i met at work

They weren’t talking to loads of other women and I got to know them gradually and then became involved with them

It’s completely different to online dating…

"But then the day of or the night before he'll pull out for one reason or another (sick, work got busy, family event)."

^^^^^

Cancelling plans just a night before is disrespectful and his excuses are most likely lies. One excuse would have been suspicious, but THREE consecutive ones? One less credible than the other? Pfffft

Unless he's got a chronic disease, the average person would get sick only about 0-20 days a year. What has work to do with dating during his free time...? Would he rather give up his freedom and take additional work just to avoid meeting you?! Family event...if family members have to attend a special occasion, this day is known days if not months in advance, not?

If he's the only man you have "connected to" on the app for now, get off that app asap!!! Register again several weeks later, with a fresh, better profile. New profile, new suitors! Connect with your family, friends and pets in the meantime.

I agree with you in principle, online dating does depend more on "text game" for a man and it's not the same as talking face to face.

Also in work, it's changed a lot recently and a lot of men are scared of sexual harassment lawsuits and with social media also being talked about online. Some totally false accusations or misconstruing someone's intentions could ruin someone's career.

TBF it doesn't matter if the man or woman or both are talking to a lot of people, it's whether or not they are each others priority and top choice.

Meh. He can reconnect with her if he really is interested.. she should sit back and relax. She's already wasted too much energy. 💅 😂

I was reading up on the discordians and I think they might be right. People look for things to guide them when most of the time it is random.

It's risk reward with dating. Even if it is more difficult for a man to date, there is relatively little to no risk of say violence. Worst case scenario is some coke head Barbie steals my stuff and that's more likely to happen on a night out

Yes I think so

if he annoys me further, i'll try to get screenshots to send to his wife or gf

then i'll block him

dude's basically a stranger to me so who cares?

If it was the other way round, we would get told how she is doing the right thing if she isn't sure. If he's not feeling it there's probably a reason why and it could be he's genuinely busy or ill. Most excuses are actually objections you just beat it by offering a solution.

click to expand

That's exactly what I'm saying. He's not feeling it. He's not doing anything wrong but the mistake she is doing is that she lets him cancel on her over and over again. If he wants to meet her he knows where to find her.

Move along.

He isn't interested. At least... not the the same way you are. If he was and genuine he would be apologizing and try to reschedule or once again, at the very least, make half hearted promises to make it up to you.

Go do you.

I connected with an Aries guy on an online dating app. Conversation is pretty good. He suggested a first date some time ago, but we had to cancel the day of because the weather was atrocious. Since then, the last few times I have suggested we meet up for a date and he's agreed. But then the day of or the night before he'll pull out for one reason or another (sick, work got busy, family event). I'm not sure what to make of it. He is still very responsive and conversational over text. I imagine if he wasn't interested he would ghost altogether, or at least come out and say it. But at the same time he doesn't offer to reschedule. What's up with this? I'll admit I'm really interested in him because it's hard to connect on a basic level with people while OLD the way I felt I connected with him. I at least want to see if the vibe is right in person. Am I wasting my time?

As an Aries guy I say abort Aries and Taurus do not get along lol and Taurus women move way too slow for an Aries he’s probably bored no offense

Worse combination on an Aries imo, the mix of cancer and pisces is the pits.

Obvious what you are doing wrong, you are arranging it. Say you want to meet up and bribe him if need be with free food then ask what his schedule is like. Not let's meet up Saturday or whatever.

lol!
