Posted: 7/15/2005 2:37:14 PM | | men dont want the burden of seeing a broken hearted woman! they just want to let you down easy with out feeling the guilt or telling you the cold hearted truth that they are either not interested or they are attached already | |

Most don't know what they want, and a man with any sense knows the woman will talk till Hell freezes over. How's he gonna pay the phone bill?? I never e-mail much, and never consider phoning anybody, nor giving out my number. Sheesh, I'm crazy and old, but not entirely stupid. | |

And it's not only a man thing, women also say they will call and then they don't. | |

Ladies - as some of these previous posts have read, don't sit by the phone waiting for the call. Get up and get on with your lives! If he's meant to be in your life, trust me, it will happen! | |

| why do men say they will call and then don't? Posted: 7/15/2005 7:53:07 PM | | This is a constant stampede of cowardice,,not uncommon in guys who don't really want a real relationship. They may be testing the waters to see if they can entice you. Once that's done, they run. It's all a damned game. They should know better, but they don't, and they don't care. Dump the **stard! | |

It might be his fault that he lost the number. Maybe he is living with his mom and couldn't break the news to you, Maybe he is married and just needs some side action. It really could be anything. Maybe he just doesn't want to seem that desperate. | |

| why do men say they will call and then don't? Posted: 7/18/2005 11:30:19 AM | Women do exactly the same thing! Why, who knows.
But sometimes its "his not that into you" and was being polite, or did you ever think that the guy was very nervous about calling. There are many reasons as to why he didn't call or why he called. Why couldn't you call him? There is nothing in the dating rule book to suggest that the woman cannot call the man. yes some men might be like wow this chick is eager. Some men like that some don't... its the whole "im in charge caveman thing".
You know on a date whether you have any connection at all. Its something that human nature just lets us know. So if there is connection, you will get the call, if you don't get the call, who's loss is it... definately not yours. So don't sit around and wait for the phone to ring, because it may never. Perhaps it may one day, but you then have the power to make the decision as to what you want to do. Someone once told me not to put all my eggs into one basket and this is very true. You may have liked this guy or felt you had some kind of connection, but did you really?
I had a friend who went on a date with a guy, she was devastated when he didn't call. I told her the same thing. around 1 month later he called her wanting to catch up etc. She made the decision at that point on what to do.
There are plenty of people in the world, just because that one person doesn't call you, does not mean its the end of the world. Rejection only makes you stronger!!!! One man's loss is another man's gain and what door closes another opens.... those sayings are very true... so keep smiling and happy dating...  | |

| why do men say they will call and then don't? Posted: 7/25/2005 1:57:15 PM | | At least in my case, I look for answers why people don't call back. I do wonder what is wrong with me and why people are not attracted to me. I Kind of understand where this girl is comming from. I know I'm not ugly and I know I'm not drop dead cute either. I have a lot to offer anyone, and I always have something in common with everyone. I'm easy going, I cook, I'm athletic,.. I do just about everything. If people would just come out and say," ... yes I don't like this". Then I could actually improve myself. I know people don't work that way. It would be nice to find out why inorder to either close that chapter or just to learn from it. | |

| why do men say they will call and then don't? Posted: 7/25/2005 3:41:43 PM | | I think "he's just not that into you" (see the book) and want to avoid confrontation, they would do anything to avoid a scene, tears, awkward questions... Don't waste your time with someone that doesn't follow through with what they say, if they can't do the simplist things they say they will, imagine the big things you can't count on them for. Besides, where there is one that isn't interested, there are 3 more jumping through hoops to get to know you, you might not even know it. | |

| why do men say they will call and then don't? Posted: 7/25/2005 3:58:14 PM | Maybe the guy was in the midst of a big move....wrote her # down and packed it in one of the 30 plus boxes. He forgot to write on the box that had her # in it. He spent hours going through boxes as he knew that he had to call her Sat night for drinks.......it never happened. She e-mails him and gives him complete shit for not calling! He e-mails back and explains....she doesn't buy it!
This is a true story as I'm explaining what just happened to me this weekend! | |

| why do men say they will call and then don't? Posted: 7/25/2005 6:14:01 PM | I do know for myself, if a women gives me her cell number and she tells me call me at 7pm. I will call her at 7 pm. If her cell phone is turned off, I just toss her number in the can.
That happened couple of times. I think is very rude to tell someone give a call at that time, and when that person call is no answer. | |

| why do men say they will call and then don't? Posted: 7/25/2005 6:21:36 PM | | um . . . i don't think it is a male thing because it's been my experience that if a woman is interested in a second date, she will ask me to call, however, if she is not interested, she usually says, "i will call u" - if i hear this then i know it is over LOL | |

Reply to Bunny's post:
"Soo .. there's a book called 'he's just not that into you'. It's VERY informative .. and I think a lot of women would benefit from reading it. Just my two cents."
It's a very entertaining book...especially for someone who'd just been dumped. Don't read if you don't wish to give your guy a second chance :laugh:

| why do men say they will call and then don't? Posted: 7/25/2005 10:15:19 PM | I am going to go out on a limb here and say it could be many things. I have so many people write to me that I get confused sometimes on who I told what time or something. I also have two kids, and they seem to make my life spin. So if the guy has a lot going in his life he could be in the same boat. He probably thought your last conversation was great, and he wanted to exchange numbers, but really truly forgot. The world is going very fast right now, and if he has kids and an ex wife to deal with, plus work and all this stuff all over the computer, he might just get screwed up on occasion. I personally don't keep up with everything that well, and my kids seem to plan my day like a nut. Some people aren't that organized either.
I know you posted that you were going on a date in your later post. How did that go? I hope well, and if it didn't keep trying anyway.
You seem like a nice girl. | |
