Seriously, radar

[eee1313]

How do guys do it? How do they know? How is it that whenever a girl finally loses interest and moves on, that is when they reappear?

I'm going out with a guy tonight. Like, as a date. Kind of a blind date, even though he and I have been chatting online for nearly a year. He seems a lot more interested in me than I am in him. But who knows? We'll see what happens. But the point is this—here I am, going out with a cute Asian boy tonight, and I check my e-mail and what do I find? A message from Dave, apologizing for not e-mailing in a week because he's been so busy, blah blah. No! That's not fair! I have a date tonight! I had written him off! I don't want to still be interested in Dave! (Because even though he is, frankly, a pretty shitty facsimile of a boyfriend, I really liked the guy and I'd be willing to try again if he were more attentive.)

Why must boys have radar that tells them when girls don't care any more? WHY?

My mom has a theory that he's blowing me off so that he doesn't have to deal with Christmas. She thinks he'll come back swinging around the second week of January. I wouldn't be surprised if she's right.

And yeah, totally. I think at this point, if I should talk to him again, I'm just going to have to say, "If you want to date me, or even be my friend, you have to make an effort. Like, more than once a month. Because this doesn't work for me AT ALL."

You're making excuses for him! Christmas? C'mon, if the idea of buying/not buying you a token present (I mean, you've only dated a few times, right?) is such a big deal for him to be a total ass then that proves he's a total ass. Heh, this is fun giving advice when in actuality I haven't dated this century.
