What exactly does a guy mean when he says " sorry I have not spoken to you or gotten back to you in x number of days, I have had alot on my plate lately (too busy)". Anytime this line has been said to me I assume that they are just not into me and I move on, and delete all of their contact info, but it never fails that they call a week or so later wanting to get together. What is the deal???????? Men please elaborate.

Ah, let me think here.


Just give a second, I am still thinking.


Yes, still in thought.


Hmmm.... may be.


And I am just saying may be, right? I am not certain or anything.


May be they were just busy?


Damn - who would have thought!!!?

Yes, I'd say they undoubtedly were busy. And, their interest in seeing you wasn't enough for them to make time to see you. Doesn't necessarily mean they aren't worth your time, though. You never know.

Are you kidding me? If someone is interested they will drop everything that they were doing - and I mean everything, including flossing at night and taking a shower in the morning - to make time for a date.


Anything less requires prompt rejection. The nerve of some people!

Having been at the receiving end of a few no-way-anyone-could-be-busy-enough-to-not-dote-on-me-24-7 I guess I went a little overboard with the sarcasm. [img]library/editor/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-embarassed.gif[/img]

Okay now I am confused???? if their interest in me wasn't enough... Why should I they be worthy of my time? "Venus Mars which is it?" LOL

Well....it could bejust because they just don't know you well enough to be that interested in you yet. It could also mean you'd never be more to them than an occasional diversion. I think only you can decide if it feels right to see them or not (sounds like maybe you dont' want to?). Personally, a lack of interest or the 'hard to get' thing tends tomake me lose interest quickly.

there's busy and then there's... stoooopid...


ok... a guy i was dating was really into me... no really...


I had an "old friend" come from out of state... passing though...


he was to stay with me for a couple of days... the BF as not happy...


but I told him it was platonic and it was... really it was...


the BF would not answer my calls and did not call me for 3 weeks


which I took as a sign it was over... oh well....


When he called after 3 weeks and I said I was already over him... and we were done...


he said "wait you didn't miss me? " "I was just busy with work and I thought if I didin't


call for 3 weeks that would give you time to miss me... "


So I said " and this was your strategy?" Yes... "Well, how'd that work for ya?"..... Doh!


( sorry if this story is a repeat for some people)
