Because my dating life (or what there is of it) generally consists of inconsistent men who make random appearances....I should completely expect that some "loser/burnout/wannabe" will make an appearance each week.
This week we already had the $150 man. I thought that would be it, but SURPRISE! I got a call from Robert. *Gasp* For those who are new to our program/don't feel like digging through archives:
I met Robert randomly after the November 7th session of a monthly book club meeting (the next one's on Feb 27, be there!) in Manhattan. We exchanged #s and I didn't hear from him until Dec 27. I didn't have his #, and needed a refresher to remember who he was. I told him I was busy. I called him back on Dec 29 and he tried to make it seem like we had spoken between Nov 7 and Dec 27 (we didn't!). He asked when would be a good time to call and I told him (for the 3rd time, that after 8pm is always good).
Yesterday, this negro calls at 6:46pm (thought I said 8:00?!) and we have a rather benign convo about how working for other people is wack. Then he says he's just trying to "reach out" and I should give him a call when I come to NYC.
What part of the game is that?! Dude has had my # for 3 months and I STILL don't know any more about him than I did on Nov 7. Yeah, I had his # too, but I made my attempt with the call on Dec 29. Is he shy? Trying to be mysterious? Looking for a jumpoff? Between women and trying to keep me "on the team"? No matter what excuse you come up with, it sounds like "he's just not that into me". A person who was interested would have been making an effort to get to know me, or at least maintain more consistent contact. And that's fine. He doesn't have to be "into me". But why play the game? I'm too old to find "mysterious" men appealing. Let's leave suspense and mystery to Alfred Hitchcock and be adults about dating.
So why do I answer the phone when he calls? I guess I'm wondering if he will say something substantial for once. Maybe it's time to stop wondering and just say what I gotta say and be done with it.

He's Just Not That Into You
Dee's two cents:
maybe Robert has a rare memory disorder and he misses entire months at a time and thinks he's calling you back the following week

Ananse's Web's two cents:
You know what I say, Call the NEGRO out! Just be straight forward...like dude..what is up with u? lol. But we already talked about this and I think you need to ignore everyone else and use my suggestions....or not. lol
