This is the first time I'm encountering this...a guy I've been 'dating' says he'll call, and then doesn't. Then I'll get an email or a call a couple days later just saying hi, then he promises to call and doesn't.

I'll call you later
I'll call you tomorrow
I'll give you a call and we'll figure out plans
I'll call you when I'm done work

BLAH BLAH...seriously?? Don't waste the effort telling me you're going to call and then don't, I'm a big girl, quit stringing me along if you're not that interested. When he does call, the excuses are valid and understandable - and then he's nice as pie and sweet. On occasion I'll call him, and I get voicemail and no return call - maybe, if I'm lucky a return email the next day.

What the heck? This frustrates me to no end and I can't figure it out!

Oh, yeah, I've dated that guy, several times, LOL! That just doesn't work for me. The guy I'm seeing now does it once in a while and even that bugs me (although overall he's pretty reliable), as I'm a real stickler for doing what you say you're going to do and I don't see what's so hard about it!

I would just write this guy off as not a good match and move on. Saying something isn't likely to do any good--this is just how he is.

UGH - I've been there.

Best to move on, I think. A truly interested man does call and does pursue.
