Anyone fancy telling me why men who have alledgedly not shut up about one since Christmas don't FACKING TEXT when they have asked for your number?

Well?

I mean, why fucking bother? If he's not interested all well and good, I shan't pester him. If he is interested - why hasn't he texted? I'm sure there is a good manly reason (and if it is "He's not interested love" then say so)but I am too blinded with lust confusion to see it.

Men are a different species.... I don't think I'll ever figure them out.

I am unreasonably pissed off. He has spent 6 months talking about me apparently, and I have this from two different sources who barely know one another. I have sent him one fairly neutral text message, with a question relating to a mutual friend (so he can reply without it being loaded). I really do like him, and if he's completely lost interest over night, I would appreciate being told!

He's probably asking his mates what he can say to make himself sound really witty and interesting yet not too desperate ;)

If he doesn't do it in the next 24 hours he's going to be asking his mates why he seems to be blacklisted amongst the entire female population of the town

I need to know. Yes or no, I need to know.

Perhaps he knows that you know he likes you and he's trying to play it cool? (Admittedly this explanation makes him sound like a bit of a nob so might not be much help.)

Sent it last night.

It's cool, in a way I'm glad men piss around, it sorts the men from the boys and makes sure I don't waste my time!

I have NO tolerance for it.

numberjill, men are odd. They really are.

There was a recent repeat episode of Sex and the City when this exact issue came up. Basically if a man doesnt call he is not interested. Move on and dont make excuses as to why he hasnt called - it is his loss.....

NumberJill relax, you only sent it last night, he might not want to appear as being too keen so is waiting a while until he texts you back, if he doesn't text/call you within 3 days then leave it at that

am feeling similarly!!

It iS early days tho, in man land.

bluejelly · 17/07/2008 17:29

Don't give up. I waited 8 days for a man to call the other week... had totally given up and was cursing his name.
But then he did and all was good with the world once again

piratecat · 17/07/2008 17:32

hmm, i have given up jelly!!

maybe i'll get one then!?
