Death of His Cell Phone...or is it?

I've been dating this guy for two months now. We have daily text messages...probably too much. He's offered up his work number for me to call him at work. I won't do that though, just a bit of history.

But I'm having an issue with our phone conversations. More accurately, with his cell phone "dying" all of the time.

First off, I use my cell phone as my primary phone. I also get horrible reception at my house. My call will be choppy and sometimes disconnect whenever I move the wrong way. It's frustrating mostly. I've told him this...he's witnessed this when he brought his phone to my house. I think my house is the Bermuda Triangle of cell phone reception.

Anyway, so we'll talk every other night. About 95% of the time he initiates the phone calls. Most nights, my cell phone will disconnect the call. I run to get "some bars" and call back. The phone rings and rings and rings. No answer. I'll even try again...no answer.

Everytime this happens he comes back either on email or the next day saying his phone died and that he's sorry.

Well I KNOW that the reason the call was disconnected was because of my crappy service, so I don't get the phone dying thing.

tonight it happened again...let's call it the fourth time in about 2 weeks. I called back, got his wonderful ring back tone and then voicemail.

I'm sure tomorrow that I'll get a text message stating that he's sorry that his phone died.

I think I'm going to call b.s. on that one though.

Seriously, if you don't want to talk, pick up the phone and say "look, I need to go, talk with you later" or something.

Why would he do this?

And I think my terminology will be along the lines of

"I don't think I'm going to buy that excuse anymore"

What do you all think?

Thanks in advance!

I think you have a Spineless Wonder on your hands.

I TOTALLY AGREE!

Ok he may not be married if you have been to his place, but something or someone is UP!

I love the nickname: spineless wonder!

Boy can I relate to a few of those!
