I've got a really low tolerance for this sort of behavior from men. Have you ever read "He's Just Not That Into You"? Your situation is just classic.

If a guy doesn't see you as a joyful addition to his life, then I say drop him. You don't need to spend time trying to figure his behavior out. If he's not calling you up to go on dates and wanting to spend time with you, it just doesn't matter about his family or whether he's socially backward or any of that.

I don't mean to sound harsh! I just think you can do better than this, ya know?

I do have to agree with what you say. I guess its just boring spending Sat all day watching movie after movie on the television. Going to a movie every once in a while would be nice.
