I met a guy in person on Sunday that I'd met through online dating and had been talking to for a few weeks....I felt he was delaying meeting me and he was kinda using his kids as an excuse. We finally met after I'd suggested he wasn't really that interested in meeting me. Much to my surprise we hit it off (Shock hex 51) but I'm still not sure his heart's in it.
From my side I was expecting to like him as a person but not to be particularly interested in anything further than that so it's kind of thrown me a bit because I'm very interested in getting to know him. From his side he said he was hoping it would become a relationship eventually. He said he's been having trouble meeting women who stay around as he has a young child of 8 and most women (including me) have adult children and we're happy to be free to do what we want when we want.
His children are away for the next week so besides having to work he is free but he only talks about another date, he's not really committing to it which was exactly how he carried on before we met in person.
We live within a half hour drive of each other. So to test the waters I suggested we meet for a picnic next to the water after work, we've hours of daylight after work hours at the moment because it's Summer and it's been very hot so being next to the water would be nice and we'd actually talked about this as a date.
What is the possibility he will make yet another excuse not to meet?

This looks like a reflection of what's been going on - I've had more than one 'shake up' with him and I know I've pushed his 'buttons' more than once - does this mean it's going to continue in the same way.
The words about things needing to be done is true, I think there are going to be a few obstacles until we get it right but I'm a little concerned he's going to put a stop to it before we can even work out what needs to be done.
thanks
Note: 2 hours after I posted this he made an excuse not to go on our date
