Why do guys have to be so dumb

[Radbot42]

So I went out with a guy. We had an amazing date. Phenomenal. I hadn't felt this good about a guy in a long time. So we make plans for my next night off, 2 nights away. Another good date. And we had plans for the next day I had off, again 2 nights away. The next day, the day before our date he says he's not ready to date, he's got a lot going on and has mixed emotions...... UGH. I hate dating. I try to tell him we may have something good here, but he is dead set on being single. I, not going to pressure him any more than I did, but why does everyone seem to be set on doing all the hard thinking on their own. It's not just this guy, but so many before too. Why can't I be there for you in the hard times. I told him I don't want him to disappear on me like I have let all the others, and he told me that he would respond in a day. It's been a few and lo and behold no response. Why do I even try?
