Should I ever talk to him again?

This is the situation: I met this cop at the bar, hes 29 i'm 22. We both got along so well, he called me and asked me out. He was so kind, respectful and gentlemanly on our dates (we went out 4 times). I felt like we would be better friends and although he wasn't acting sexually aggressive, I felt that he was more interested in me as a GF than a friend. We went out 4 times over 3 weeks, he texted me a lot. He cancelled plans last minute several times (I was giving him the benefit of the doubt because of his job and his temporary change in schedule). For our fifth date we had a plan to meet up around 6pm. He texted me up until 7:00pm saying he fell asleep and then never texted me for THREE weeks. I was so angry and felt like an idiot for him wasting my time. He apologized profusely and said he still really wanted me in his life and that it was one of the worst mistakes hes ever made. I made it clear we would only be friends and we made a plan for him to make it up to me tonight at 5pm. So he texted me at 3:30 pm today saying he got called into court regarding an arrest last minute. My gut instinct is to never ever talk to him again because I really feel no sympathy for him, but if hes telling the truth, I mean it isn't his fault this time, right? UGH. i want to know what you would do or what you think I should do :(. I feel so disappointed because as a person who just moved to NY he was a great person with cool friends. (except from what I saw in this situation). He said he is so sorry and to please give him another chance but I just feel like a bozo for even letting it get this far. I just want to say one last thing: I hate having bad feelings towards people, it really upsets and stresses me out. This is why I decided to give him another chance. Should I give up or still give him one last chance?

ok this is a view from an outsider looking in. Does he have other commitments ? wife girlfriend, becuase from what your saying my first instinct is he has one or the other. Your young and can do without the baggage. I would say leave it alone.. Start as you mean to go on.. Seriously this man seems like he has something to hide. And will let u down endlessly. If hes doing that now what will be install for you further down the road. Ive just come out of that tyoe of relationship and i feel so brused . Take my advice if it starts that way it wont get any better, but you will end up making allowances for things that wont make u happy
