Back in May, I was briefly seeing this guy that my best friend set me up with.

He's saving face. If he is that dumb, you would not want to be with him anyway. But considering how he was treating you, I think he just used that as an excuse. It's funny ow guys can never own up to anything and then blame the girl. Even when they KNOW they were in the wrong. I think it is a male genetic deficit.

It does sound ke he was passing the buck. If I go out with someone, and I want a second date, I'm calling her, I'm initiating, I'm letting her know. You need someone who respects you.

Even if he really meant it, you don't want to be with such a wet noodle anyway. And too bad he missed out on the lake. Take that, doofus!

No kidding!


It makes me wonder how other guys justify this kind of stuff to friends.

I think that they avoid talking about it if at all possible. Most of the guy friends that I have only talk of the women in their lives (whether dating, serious, or married) in the most general of terms. At least when they talk with one another.

When speaking with female friends, I think that it gets very complicated. A really good guy friend of mine has been having all kinds of trouble with his girlfriend. He likes talking to me about it because I tend to approach the entire dating world more like a man and he sees me as very practical. While I made sure not to bad mouth this girl (after all, I haven't met her and there must be some reason he's been with her for the past 6 months), I also am honest with him about thinking that her behaviour is clingy and a little neurotic. But he doesn't discuss the situation with another female friend of ours because, frankly, she tends to be the same way in her relationships with men.
