A dot_cattiness-esque post

You know...if you're going to behave in a way that makes me think you liked me, and you're going to kiss me good night in a way that makes me think you like me, why is it okay that you can leave me hanging with not even an e-mail?

*sigh*

(Oh and by the way, before you ask...I did e-mail him.)

OK, we're talking about a guy here. Maybe he thought making plans to get together again was a sufficient demonstration of continued interest?

speaking as a relatively frustrated dater for similar reasons, i will say that when i have what i consider a good date with someone, i will not hesitate to e-mail them the next day to say something along the lines of "had a good time last night, would like to see you again, you kiss nice...etc" embellished a bit of course.

when someone fails to e-mail me back in such situations, i get miffed. i have no helpful suggestions.

I always get this after the second date. I've always suspected it had something to do with meatloaf.

Dinner or the singer?

i dunno, sweetie, but i do know that if you figure it out and publish the reason, you will make millions!

Maybe I should just stick to women? At least then I'm more aware of expectations. :)

heaven knows i like women! but sometimes they don't call or e-mail when they say they're going to, either.

[geminigirl]

Of course not. But at least I know what to expect...instead of hanging in the air trying to understand boy-behavior and boy-language. I wish it were so much simpler, but men and women often communicate differently, and it honestly makes me crazy.

I have always found both women and men can be equally obtuse. They can also be equally honest. I think it is something that depends on the individual in question. Sounds like this individual needs a quick introduction to etiquette and social interaction.
