Next! I just recently ended things with a guy that refused to pick up the phone and call me. I did explain to him that the phone has this nifty feature - a "calling" feature. He apparently only used that "send" button after writing texts. Because that was the easiest way to string someone along for some nookie. Like you, I said if he was honest about that from the start, fine. He wasn't. Next. <abbr><em>OC’s last blog post..<a href="http://livelaughhopelove.wordpress.com/2009/03/16/unrequited/" rel="nofollow">Unrequited</a></abbr></em> I agree. Next!

As for why the disconnect occurred, who knows? I was hoping to give it a chance, and I guess he just wasn't as interested. It happens. Sigh. DrSmoothie – Absolutely, I get stuck there all the time.

Everyone has had to deal with flakes like this one time or another. You have two choices, play the game back, or move on. These types also seem to find the perfect moment when you move to re-emerge. You did the smart thing and moved on, but trying to view this objectively, how was there such a disconnect between what you expected and what he expected from the relationship? Guess the old adage is true, just because you felt something , it is wrong to assume the other person felt the same thing. I think girls still get stuck in this trap. Agreed with the above posts.

I'm taking the high road on this one. Lance - Wait, are you single again??? *has heart palpitations* Anyway, that's some seriously retarded behavior for anyone over, say, 18 years old. I really can't understand why people are SO averse to talking on the phone. What gives???

He's clearly a playa because a non-playa don't treat ladies that way. My guess – he probably has other girls he’s stringing along and, if things aren’t going great with one girl, he hops to another.

Actually, it was Megan, my latest ex. Anyway, I'd call, get vmail, then like 3' get a txt. WTF? She screened my call so she could text me back right afterwards.
