I Need to Vent

I was asked out on date twice. First time he cancelled because he had an emergency with his father and was at the hospital. So he asked me out again for today. I had just left to meet him when he said he couldn't make because he was with his dad again.
Since I don't know this person well enough I don't know if I should believe him or not. I understand family emergencies . Family comes first. I feel like this keeps happening to me and I don't know why. I am at the point that I am afraid to say yes to anyone for a date because once that day gets here. The guy either stands me up and apologizes or had a reason and apologizes. My anxiety kicks in as it gets closer to a date. I know it's because I am afraid it's not going to happen.
I am so frustrated!!! I am losing my faith in men... That there are really any good ones out there.

i say give him another shot ...stay in contact with him ..check on the family situation ...i know having a parent or a child who is ill consumes priorities ..cant be helped ...but if this guy seems genuine ..open to your asking questions why not give him another shot ..its really not his fault his dad became ill at an inopportune time ...who knows it may be something great that you may miss out on if you judge too quickly

Thanks for your response. However he just dropped off the face of the earth. Lol one day we were talking through out the day. He had to go puck up his son and then I never heard from him again.
