Breaking up is hard to do

It's not really a break up, but I did go out with this guy enough times that I thought I should at least tell him live that I didn't feel we were a match. Especially since we had a get together planned today. (Though we hadn't talked through times or where we were going to meet.)

I half heartedly tried texting him to see if he was available to talk on the weekend, but he texted back he was busy with kids. (My issue with him was it was hard to communicate, as he was usually too busy to talk.) Once the kids were gone he didn't call at his usual evening hour, so I tried calling him this morning as he sometimes calls me during his commute. After the second time I finally left the "I don't feel we are a match, good luck" message on his voicemail. I felt like a smuck, as that sounded a bit classless, but I didn't want him leaving work early and heading through rush hour traffic just to hear me say sorry, but we need to move on. About an hour later I get a text telling me he was crazy busy, and heading out of town on last minute business, we need to reschedule our date.

So, do I text back? Or do I assume he will eventually listen to his voicemail?

It's interesting that your main complaint is that he has no time to communicate. And as it turns out, he doesn't even have the time to let you break it off.

Is the issue the lack of communication that got you to this point of not wanting to pursue it or was there something else?

If it was because of the lack of communication but everything else with him seemed ok. I would give him the chance....BUT....he needs to take the initiative to dating and communicating with you.

Its possible you are not his first choice and he is dating someone else which is really what made him super busy and this sudden weekend away is being accompanied by a female "friend" of his.

Hmm, maybe he will never notice we aren't together anymore.
