The guy I was meant to go on a date with cancelled because he was too anxious

At first he lied and said it was work, but later he confessed he is a really anxious person and is seeking help for that. He assured me he wants to meet and was really apologetic.

My initial reaction is to try and help him, but I do this so often and end up with projects rather than partners.

I'm so conflicted rn.

He had the courage to admit to something that was difficult for him, and he respects you enough that not being fully honest bothered him.

I’d agree he’s worth the time and effort. He’s not perfect, but he is sincere and that’s a better start than many.

@Ceinwyn Idk about worth the effort on my part, but yes, I appreciate his candour. Everyone has their stuff, most keep it to themselves until they really have you.
