Why do men promise to call and don't

Why do men (and I'd love some men to answer this)promise to call after a date with no intention of doing so. I was dating a guy (who I know quite well through work) and he seemed to be a lot keener than I was (I thought we lacked chemistry but hey give it a chance....) Now I haven't seen him in 3 weeks even though he keeps texting me suggesting dates at weekend etc and sending me silly jokey messages and now nothing in a week and nothing for Valentines. Obviously he's not interested but why did he keep contacting me and if he had no interest couldn't he of said, his lack of contact and follow through has now just made the situation awkward (for him mostly as I hire him for work and I won't now) - are men mad or just him??
He'll get an earful if he contacts me now!

1. Could be a "test" to see if you will get upset about it.
2. Could be that he hasn't had a chance to miss your presence enough to give you a call. (Guys usually wait some time before they contact a woman after he realizes he may be into her)
3. May not be interested at all, but they say they will call out of courtesy.
4. They have some set of rules on how long they will wait to contact a woman they like.
These are usually the main reasons, I think. But whatever you do, don't take it personal. I would just be patient and wait, and you may be surprised when they contact you later.
