I said, I have friends coming to visit tomorrow (Saturday) and I will be going with my sister to a spa in the city on Monday.
If it was me, I would ask..tomorrow day or evening or both? I have had friends come over during the day, and gone out that evening with a Lady...same thing with Monday. .. unless you stated evening out, why not take the chance.? | |

Posted: 6/18/2007 3:15:20 PM | | Yeah I'm forgetful when I've been drinking (as this guy probably was) and especially forgetful when using IM or phone texting cause a lot of times I'll mix up who sent which message. So for example if I asked my girl and a friend or two what they were doing the next night, I might mix up who was going out with their mother, who was going to the bar and who had no plans. | |

Posted: 6/18/2007 6:10:18 PM | Well, this last week I told him I was having family visit and told him that I would have any time to meet him during to weekend and that we should meet during the week if he has some time. He said he'd contact me if he had time. Well, he didn't contact me and I know for sure he went out for drinks on Thursday. Wouldn't you make time for someone you liked??
Okay Pandora- "wouldn't you make time?" - maybe he's thinking the same thing that you blew him off all weekend for JUST your family and friends. You've only been dating for a month. I think you might be judging him a bit too harshly in terms of not just being forgetful and especially so in expecting him to make time for you when it's clear you're continuing to live your life beyond him. Keep it casual and stop judging so much - just see what happens! And if you want him to do something, be willing to do the same yourself. | |

| Are men really this forgetful???? Posted: 6/18/2007 6:12:52 PM | [qutoe]Ok, up until the last 3 posts I was pretty sure I was wrong. But the last three of these posts are making me re-think that position. I'm totaly confused!!!
This might be a big part of the "problem" here----asking opinions gets you just that and you'll have to decide which one suits your situation and discard the rest.
Your opening post suggests this guy is at fault but later on you reveal you might be equally responsible for part of all this you're dealing with now. You can't or shouldn't expect someone to read your mind when it comes to anticipating or even remembering every little thing you've said so far. You've known one another a very short time and yet these issues are already a problem? I think something is amiss and it's not this guys memory! | |

| Are men really this forgetful???? Posted: 6/18/2007 7:56:04 PM | I can say that my memory is not what it use to be. I have a memory disorder called CRAFT.
Nor is my hearing. I have lost about 40% of it.
So if I happen to meet any of you ladies , there is a chance that I will forget something. Or it's that I really didn't hear you in the first place.
CRAFT= Cant Remenber A F***ing Thing. Its the step after CRS(cant remember shit) | |

| Are men really this forgetful???? Posted: 6/18/2007 11:24:01 PM | | Based on what everyone's said here, I am making a lot of assumptions about what he is thinking and perhaps my intentions are not very clear. So, I decided to make my intentions be clearly known and asked him if he'd like to go out for a movie on Saturday. His response: "maybe...ask me later in the week". I know what I'm thinking but I'd like to hear everyone's opinion on this. | |

| Are men really this forgetful???? Posted: 6/19/2007 12:52:25 PM | Sometimes, some men just dont listen!! Arghh! it goes like this..
man; Can i see you saturday? Woman: No, i cant I'm doing this, that and the other. ( about 10 to 15 minutes more conversation ensues) Man: So, Are we on for saturday then? Woman; *&*^%%$^^^^^^??? WTF? Did'nt you just hear a word I said?
in his mind he wants to see you saturday,.. he just doesnt hear you when you say no,.. or like Scorpio mover put it,.. 'Men are oppitunistic and optimistic' OP, look dont let all our varying opinions confuse you,.. they are just our opinions after all,..but ALWAYS go with your instincts,.. and it seems to me that your instincts are telling you something is off here. maybe there does sound as if there is a little bit too much 'busyness' with other things going on here,.. personally,.. one of the biggest turn offs to me is someone who seems to be just fitting me in to a very busy schedule as an afterthought. if you really want to date someone.. then you both have to try and make time. not saying you or He should never have plans with anyone else,. or neglect friends or family,.. but sometimes giving someone a little more time can work wonders. just my opinion, go with your instincts and good luck. x | |

I'm sure your gut feeling is the same as it always has been. He's not really interested. If he was he's jump at the chance to see you. Move on. | |

You can get those situations where it's June 18th on the calender, and your significant other is sitting there thinking ....
" June 18th, 1976......The NBA and the ABA agreed to a merger. "
Meanwhile, YOU'RE thinking:
"IT'S OUR %%$#^#$^# ANNIVERSARY AND HE FORGOT IT ! "

I get that and am willing to live with it. But just as I am willing to live with that, it would be nice if guys would realize that maybe we need you to remember that anniversary. | |

If it was me, I would ask..tomorrow day or evening or both?
That's the thing. If he really wanted to see me wouldn't he have asked when is a good time for me seeing as I had a lot going on? But I feel as if he intentionally asked me to do something on those days he knew I was busy. | |
