Is he old fashioned as well? How do you know he's not wondering why you haven't contacted him?

I mean, it probably would have been much easier to contact him than get his attention this route.

I went on a date the other day...although I thought that the date ended a little prematurely and despite the fact that his explanation seemed plausible, I kinda assumed that this was his way of politely backing out.

That was until he said that he was glad we met and started asking if my weekends were free, then I changed my mind and thought he was interested after all but it’s been almost a week with no contact...

Granted, I didn’t think that I’d met the love of my life but it (him/the date) wasn’t hideous...and although not devastated, I was looking forward to seeing him again and am more than a little annoyed that I was unnecessary and deliberately given the impression that he was interested when he clearly isn’t.

Am I jumping the gun? Or do you think something get lost in translation?




never assume anything. Women have a habit of trying to interpret a mans actions or even read his mind. Many times they are wrong.

The best thing to do is to communicate. I would just say, I had a good time, I didn't think you seemed to be that interested. It will clear the air. Maybe he's shy or insecure. Again, communication is the key :)

I'm not sure I was EVER right trying to interpret actions or reading their minds ~ so I gave it up a lllooonnnngggg time ago.

Just communicate.
Saves a lot of time and energy and wrong assumptions.

I have to admit that I am/have been guilty of attempting to read a man's mind and interpret his actions and in most cases, I have been wrong.

You are also right that communication is the key however sometimes I find it easier to communicate with some men than others...and yes, I am aware that I'm making excuses :smile:
