Topic: am I being a freak? | |
---|---|
This has happened a lot in the relationships I have had.
If there is something i respect and value from people is their time. I always expect the same back. So when I had a girlfriend (too damn long ago), and we were on the phone I expected to have her attention in the same way I gave her mine (100%). When I called my girlfriend (I tried to be absolutely free. I had everything done, so my full attention was for her. However, it pissed me off when she was watching TV or in the computer, or somebody from her family interrupts every 5 minutes. I personally think it's so rude and disrespectful. So if the person is really busy, well the polite thing to do is to tell me look can u call me in 30 minutes. I don't see any problem with that, but keeping me on the line when the last thing she is doing is talking to me is just annoying. So tell me am I a freak or not? |

I am the same way. That also goes for IMs. Don't waste my time if you are not paying attention. If that makes us freaks, so be it.

I agree about TV and computer when someone calls, but I've got 5 kids, 3 still at home. Good luck never being interrupted. You know what? If you get to know them better and spend time with the family, you will spend time with the family.
I do ask if I can call back and try to give my time to the call, but it's one of the reasons I do internet relationships. Computer is not demanding. I will get back to you when I have the moment to do so. I take calls late at night when the children are sleeping. Perhaps that's a considerate way to plan the calls a guy makes? As to IM's .. I have to laugh when a guy will expect my full attention when he suddenly IM's ME in his wise decision to chat with me. WTH. Does he honestly think I am sitting there staring at the computer screen waiting for an IM from him? That's ridiculous. I want a guy I'm seeing to know he rates with me. Big time. But I have a life. I want a guy who can accept he is NOT my life, but a wonderfully full piece of it. Life is hard. Wear a helmet. |

You are not a freak. It is just common courtesy-and people have lost that trait. You should point out the rudeness, diplomatically, so that they know it bothers you. I would give you my undivided attention if you were talking to me. Now what did you say again? LOL! Just kidding.
