Why Don't They Call When They Say They Will?

The ever-popular "Greg Behrendt Show" was on this morning & I caught it. Why? Because they were talking about his book with real people who still don't get it. The one truly ineresting scenario that a guest provided, since it happened to her recently, was why does a guy act so interested in you, ask for your number, maybe even kiss your hand, call a couple of days later to say "Let's set something up" and then disappear?

The answer:

He's not that into you. Shocker! It was explained through a metaphor. It's like going to the store and seeing a sweater that you really really like. But, you don't have the money at that moment to get it. So you write down the information with the plan to go back for it. But, as the days role on, you may forget what the sweater looked like. Or you may decide that you don't want a sweater. Or you may forget that there was a sweater at all.

So, make that the meet-n-greet scenario when you find a guy while out with the girls. You start talking to some random guy. The two of you ge along great. He can't take you on a date that night because you are out with friends & so is he. So he writes down the information. He plans to call & maybe he does. But, again, as the time rolls on, he forgets that he even met you or forgets what it was about you that made him take your number in the first place. And so on.

Makes sense to me. I don't like it, but it definitely clarifires things from the last few weeks.
