Why do guys say they'd call and end up not calling? I am pretty upset about this since the guy i'm sort of seeing told me he was gonna call me and ended up not calling. Don't you just hate it when people do that? I certainly do. Arghh!

They say that because they are not brave enough to be honest with you face to face and tell you that they don't plan on calling. It is an easy escape phrase they use. Don't give these type of guys the time of day. There are so many more out there that will treat you with respect.

This is my story. This guy had asked me out for over 6 months. I kept saying NO, but finally gave in. The 2 times that he was supposed to call or come over, he never did so I went out with someone else. He has never done that again

Sometimes a guy is just not sure of himself. I can't tell you how many #s I started to dial and then hung up and finally gave up because it was so stressful. It was stupid. I got over that and now I don't hesitate to call if I want to date the woman. Find somebody with more confidence.

Some guys are real duffuses about women. It takes time and practice usually for someone to be a good boyfriend, which means calling you when they say they will and thinking about your feelings. If someone is too immature/insensitive/dense or busy to call, then I think it is best to dump them and find someone else. If they can't put that kind of effort into keeping their word, then what else will they do that with. And for the record, I hate it when anyone- girl or guy says they want to hang out or call and doesn't. It's just plain bad manners.

Perhaps they feel as though they have to.

The same thing happened to me, said they would call and never pick up when I called. Sometimes the guys just are too "busy" :) Spend your time not worrying about it and waste the day away with fun.
-
only some guys say that (they may be the majority) why not take it with a grain of salt and a call then becomes an unexpected bonus. (this aside they probably did you a favour by not calling!)
-
Maybe he forgot or something happened. Call him.
-
It happens, but not only to you women. This happens to men all the time. One of my buddies will get a number, or a plan to do something, and the girl will never answer or show. Everyone does it. They don't have the guts to tell you the truth face to face, so they lie, thinking it will be easier for all parties, when that is just not the case.
-
i hate that too. i used to give my number out a lot and i would never get any calls. most guys ask for a girl's number so they don't hurt our feelings, but NOT calling hurts too. so now i don't even bother giving out my number, its not they'll call anyway.
-
Sometimes there just plain idiots, if he doesn't call its because someone else is occupying his mind and time and he has you on reserve. If he doesn't call u in the next 3 days don't bother with him, let him go, that tells me he has someone else.
-
it just means.. he wants you to think he is gunna call.. even thou in his mind he is just sayin that to make you sattisfied.. he sinmply thinks of it as a game.. i get that before.. and i found out the guy told hisd parents that i am annoying when i call.. i only called him cuz he said he was goin to call me ! ?:S duffises! ahah!:P soo just talk to him about it.. i did

Then choose to live your life dependent not upon how others might act, or how you wish they would act but upon how you wish to act for your own benefit. Do not base your decisions about your own life on how others act or react. Base your life decisions on how you feel.

Maybe he doesn't really want to call you, but he wants you to shut up and stop asking him to call you, and that's the only way he knows how to get you to shut up about it. Or maybe he's just busy, or forgot, or his phone died...
-
I get the same thing, I guess is normal for guys to do that, and it bothers me because I feel ignored. Dont you think it is better if man had the balls just to say look, I dont like you and dont expect me to call you again. It sounds horrible but at least you know what to expect and not waste your time just thinking if he will call. right???
-
Ever seen or read "he's just not that into you"? Trust me, if a guy is crazy about a woman, he can't get his mind off of her...
-
The only reason I can think of is that guys suck. I don't know why they do it. My daughter is 14. Her boyfriend never calls her or communicates with her. So she dumps him, then he pays attention to her until she takes him back and it starts all over again. Maybe the guy you're dealing with doesn't like talking on the phone, maybe he wants to keep you on your toes, maybe he forgot... who knows? I do hate when people do that, but I am used to it. Sometimes people just aren't very considerate.
-
If he's interested, he'll call...and you won't have to wait a couple of days. Don't sit around waiting for the call. Go on with your life and do what you do. If you're only "sort of" seeing this guy, you are free to accept other dates. Don't turn someone down because the "sort of" guy MIGHT call.
