You may be right on him not even realizing what an annoying brat he's being, men can be pretty clueless at times. I think the real issue here is that I have built a life for myself that I'm pretty comfortable and content with, so it's going to take a man to chase me in order to make me want to change it...of course, he can't possibly just know that, so its not his fault he's not chasing hard enough for my taste, you know? ;-) <BR/><BR/>But since I tend to always have the responsibility of being the "planner" with just about everything else in my life, on this one thing, "romance, dating, love, whatever", I want to be the planee! ;-)<BR/><BR/>We'll see what happens!Karinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05399849455270704359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19810400.post-73606673085721020712007-07-25T21:52:00.000-04:002007-07-25T21:52:00.000-04:00WhooHoo! I'm not much into fashion & makeup, but ...WhooHoo! I'm not much into fashion & makeup, but I do do do like to talk about dating (and men)!!<BR/><BR/>My opinion: The signals are very mixed because the two of you have always been plutonic. He probably is interested in you and thinks that when the timing is right you'd be an awesome girlfriend. But men also don't really think and analyze like women do. He probably didn't notice the weeks or days passing between texting. Men are usually pretty simple and don't play those sort of games. He doesn't sound like much of a planner, more like when he's asking you what you're doing at that moment, it's like he's hoping you'll say nothing so he can suggest you two get together.<BR/><BR/>My suggestion: The next time he texts you, suggest the two of you get together that day/night or if that's completely impossible, the next day. <BR/><BR/>Then again, if you're like me and prefer to have a plan then sit back and wait for him to call you with a plan already. If he never does then he isn't right for you anyway.<BR/><BR/>Phew, sorry for being so long winded, but I know the pain of over-analyzing something so casual. ;-)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08763110683087512959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19810400.post-30812726893495091332007-07-25T12:30:00.000-04:002007-07-25T12:30:00.000-04:00I agree, I don't think he knows what in the hell h...I agree, I don't think he knows what in the hell he wants from you. I would be confused. <BR/><BR/>BTW, I found myself reading every word of that post...it was the most interesting thing I have read in a while. I'm not sure what that says about me?!

Still, I felt like playing ball for a bit, and tried to do some of the planning, now after him flaking, it's back on him to make a move if he decides to, I did my bit!<BR/><BR/>As far as that book, I never read it either, but I think the title says it all, and because of my comfort level with being on my own, I'm more than willing for a guy who IS that into me to sweep me off my feet...or help me look for my jean jacket! ;-)Karinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05399849455270704359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19810400.post-10315307681989640492007-07-25T10:44:00.000-04:002007-07-25T10:44:00.000-04:00I think maybe since you were friends before, he ca...I think maybe since you were friends before, he can't be that bad of a guy so he might not be sure what your intentions are either. Maybe he's thinking he will scare you off!<BR/><BR/>I don't think I'd have the energy to do that dating stuff ever again!<BR/><BR/>JessicaThe Rock Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04653277401124290907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19810400.post-81806044394269014172007-07-25T05:05:00.000-04:002007-07-25T05:05:00.000-04:00Hmm.

Sounds like he was interested and ready to meet up with you and then other things came up, perhaps a new girl to be infatuated with; I've had this happen to me a few times and that's always what happened--which I found out much later when they were interested again but the ship (me) had sailed. Suckers!<BR/><BR/>If someone's really interested and worth your time, they'll show you. I've never read <A HREF="http://www.usatoday.com/life/books/excerpts/2004-09-08-hes-just_x.htm" REL="nofollow">"He's Just Not That Into You,"</A> but I think I get the gist, and wish I would've paid more attention to that thinking when I was single.<BR/><BR/>Whatever. Good on you for being happily single--I was too for a long time (most of my 28 years before I met my beau).
