"I'll call you tomorrow," said the cute boy I just met. Which, in boy time, really means three to four days from now. Why do guys do that? Actually, why does everybody do that - they purposely wait a couple of days to make the initial call. Does it make you look more desirable? Does it make you look as if you're not pathetically waiting around to call that person exactly when you said you would? And who says "I'll call you tomorrow?" Never in my twenty seven years of existence, has a boy said "I'll call you tomorrow," and actually called! Everybody complains about it, but yet, everybody does it. Including me.
Since the guy never called, I texted him on Monday - he says he wants to hang out over the weekend. So, I texted him Friday - he said he wasn't going out - but wanted to have drinks with me on Saturday. Now, since I had already texted him... twice! I figured I should let him be the one to do the asking, even though I guess technically, he already did. And so, of course, Saturday rolls around, and what a surprise - I never heard from! But I'm not so innocent because I didn't text him either. Why? Because I didn't want to text him "Too many times."
Should I have texted him anyway? Or, did I do the right thing to not text him?
And does everybody think this way, or am I just a freak?

You shouldn't have to chase people around to get a drink with them. If they're not calling you or calling you back. I dunno, maybe he's not that into you? Or a lazy bum who wants the girl to decide for him.
No, you are not a freak.
It's stupid of him not to call or show up on Saturday. Guys are just weird.
I wonder why we are like that to. If you say you are going to do somehthing, DO IT!
I don't think there are any rules. If you liked him and thought there was something, you should text. Some guys are lazy and forgetful. Period.
Is this for real? Oh, sorry, I was distracted with the pic of Blake Lively. Damn she's hot!
Anyway, we boys tend to wait 3-4 days before we call because even if we say we're dumb enough to say we'll call tomorrow, or you're expecting us to, we get penalized for actually calling the next day. And don't try and deny that fact. You guys like bad boys so it's part of the game you created. I've seen guys actually call the next day and it's NEVER worked in their favor. Nuff said.
I'd be down with a new girl I met texting me if I forgot to call her, or was too busy, but I'm normal. And not a bad boy (sorry, I just lost 99% of readers) so I'm not sure this part is relevant.
Anyway, you ever read that book "He's not really into you?" Well, start reading. I'm surprised the dude texted u back saying he wanted to hang out over the weekend. Dude has same b_lls. If I really liked a girl, and I mean really, I'd love to be able to pull this kinda crap, but I can't. I do give this advice to my friends though, and it works!
Move on, that guy isn't into you, and if he is, he's gonna screw you over, but that's just my opinion, and I'm right. Sorry.
ugh! i HATE this little game.
i'm kinda like you, i don't mind sending the 1st text, but if i don't get any follow through on their end, i just forget it and make other plans.
I honestly think if a guy really likes a girl he will call her, text her, or even email her. Unless he doesn't want to sound like he's desperate but if a guy likes a girl he will make the effort.
In your case you initiated it and which I think is cool and I'm ok with it if a girl does it to me, but the fact that he said he wanted to have drinks on Saturday and never called is kinda him being a dick.
Hands down if a guy wants a girl He will go after her. You seem like a cool enough girl from what I've read on your blog that you shouldn't be waiting on a guy :)

Yeah, you're right guys... screw him!!! I'm not even gonna sweat it :)
This is retarded. I treat a girl that I'm interested in the same way as I do any other person when it comes to calls or texts. If I want to hangout I'll call you when I SAY I'm going to. Calling the next day has never, had negative repercussions for me.
After you call or text a couple times the ball is in their court, simple as that. Unless they've been kidnapped or something.
I wouldn't text again. He said he'd call you, and he didn't. You texting him may have come off as coming on too strong. In my experience, if a guy likes you he WILL call. Don't wait around for him by any means. Just do your thing. And honestly, I'd probably brush him off since he led you on.
Thank you for all the great posts from last year! I look forward to reading more interesting topics, maybe about pearl necklace or jewelry on your blog.

lol you're not a freak!
My roommate overanalyzes texting all the time with boys. I say text him if u want to! Why should boys have to do it first? Same goes with calling. Call him once and if he doesn't respond in the next few days, he's not worth your time anyways.
I'm not a follower of your blog! I found you from 20SB. I've read some of your posts before but I guess I forgot to follow.
