| I just wish I could find one, just one woman, who isn't into some stupid game or another. Ladies, if you give a guy your phone number it's assumed you want a call...or am I missing something here? If you don't respond I figure you're not interested. Put the shoe on the other foot. How would you like it if someone you're interested in doesn't call you back. Okaaaaay..I'll leave a message....no response.A BIG WTF! What is wrong with these people! Christ I'm 49 years old! Either shit or get off the pot! This is what you get for being considerate.. a kick in the ass!

| I understand your anger. I'm not certain why a woman would give her phone number if she didn't want a call. I certainly would not.

| Here's my "good grief" du jour....
Three weeks ago I had a date with a local woman. She was cute, sweet, I wanted to see her again. In the five days after the date, I texted her 5 or 6 times, called her three times, left messages twice, once she answered and said she would call back after she put her daughter to bed. She never called back, never texted back. I did IM her twice and both conversations were brief. So finally I decided, she wasn't interested. I moved on, found someone else I liked, had two really great dates with woman #2 the following weekend...then two days later, I get an email from woman #1 asking why we never got together again. So I told her. That was a week and a half ago.
Well, things didn't last with woman #2, so yesterday morning I emailed woman #1 to see if she wanted to get together again. Last night, I hadn't heard from her so I texted her. (A little over-anxious maybe, I know.) She hadn't seen my email, said she would check it after she put her daughter to bed.
That was last night, and I still haven't heard from her. Starting to feel like this is a re-run. I know she is busy and has a lot on her plate but...if she is interested in persuing something, can't she at least send me a text or something? I'm going to end up moving on again, and in a week she'll write me to ask why I disappeared.

| I'm sorry guys, for the inconsiderate females. I treat a man as I would want to be treated. If not interested, tell them so politely. You seem to try different avenues of communication so there is just no excuse for bad behavior.

| gees...not right at all..
The gals could have the courtesy to at least say, i'm just not interested..
But i have to admit, i've done that and tried to be kind about it and polite, and then they came back as a jerk with insulting comments and unprintable remarks..so WTF...
You don't want to leave them hanging, but when you try to be honest and upfront, they get pissy..what's a person to do??

| Hey Rodbender,
Lots of women will do that. If they do it to you, just don't give them a second chance. We don't need flakes like that in our life. If you let them do it to you once they will do it do you again. Don't waste your time with them.

| Nopretense I've had this happen at least 10 times in the last year. And the same thing, call...text..leave message and nothing. How retarded. I believe I'm living in a lunatic local society.

| No Pretense - I apologize to you for her shortcomings. That was wrong and rude so please do not hold against any of the rest of us....
But to tell you guys the truth (just because I care about y'all)
it's like the book "He's Just Not That Into You!"
Women are the same as men, only different.
I do believe a man could potentially "forget" that he told you he would call. Sort term recall being genetic and all...
But women - no way. We have memories like elephants which is why we are hurt when you forget it's the day we were born, or married you, or gave birth to your son
Any woman who doesn't SHOW you she's in to you... just isn't.
Clue up.

| I see your point Italian, but if she isn't interested, I don't get what the "how come we never got together again?" email was about. She has four kids and a mom who isn't doing well and needs to be moved...I can be very patient and supportive, I don't want to be a burden or obligation to her. But that is easier when you are "in" a relationship and you know what it is, and you both understand. At this stage where we are at right now, it is just a frustrated and in-the-dark feeling.
No biggie. All will become clear in time. It's all good.

| I have been known to give a man my phone number and then they never call. You are just as guilty of the games as we are.

| Good point rod. That is why i dont give my # out to just anybody. For one, I dont like alot of phone calls about nothing. I get enuff of that from solicitors. So, I think in this day and age when every one has cell phones (which I dont) it has become common place to spend evey waking moment with a phone to ones ear. Not realizing that a person needs personal time, it is easy to become intrusive on ones personal privacy. I think that it would be wise to set down some ground rules when giving out a phone number. I know I do and the people who use it, respect it. Or else, I just dont answer. JMO.

| Or worse yet, they give a bad number. Happened to me after a great online converation from another site. We set up a date and all, exchanged numbers... hers was disconnected!!
Emails went unanswered after that. I truly think it's a game people play (both genders).
The thrill of the hunt, but not into chasing the kill, if ya know what I mean!
