Having known a few like this, I would say "next". Usually they turn out to be younger guys, frightened of getting what they wanted, and will just mess you about eternally. Its a shame, if you have been getting on so well until now, but thinking back are you sure he wasnt echoing what you told him in order to seem ideal? This has happened to me before now, though not suspecting anything at the time I saw nothing in it. And whatever you do, do not base your life around him or any other would be slave - you're right in insisting he call you, but I would advise against taking days off or travelling etc for someone who cant follow a command to call every day - if he cant do that, then how likely is he to be capable of making an appointment? At the same time though, as MasterFireMaam advised, dont be horrid to him over all this. These younger guys are often genuine enough, but they are also often terrified of following through on desires which they have often kept secret to themselves out of shame and embarassment. Its best to reassure them they are not alone, wrong or foolish, that nothing was going to happen more than what they wanted (albeit on your terms), and to keep it on friendly terms. E
