Pinings — Advice by Sherry Hughes

Dear Sherry,

I just started dating a man I really like. We have been on a half a dozen dates and so far, so good. He’s very respectful and kind and we have much in common. He hasn’t kissed me yet, which is fine by me. I don’t have a lot of good experiences in the dating field, so I’m happy to take things slowly.

I am experiencing one “red flag” as you call it. He doesn’t always do what he says he is going to do. He says he is going to call and sometimes he does, sometimes he doesn’t. If we have plans, sometimes they materialize, other times I don’t hear from him at all and am left wondering what’s going on. He always apologizes when this happens, but offers no explanation.

Should I make an issue of this?
