Playing Games

I guess that's what comes with a gym teacher. He called twice yesterday. The first time he was at work so we chatted for just a few minutes. Wanna know why he didn't call all weekend? His calf hurt. Apparently, it hurt so much that it inhibited his fingers from dialing & his voice from being able to carry on a conversation. Poor Baby!

He then called on his way to practice. He asked me a few questions. He then said something about me getting numbers when I go out. I explained that I do not give my number out to everyone. And, when it is given out, I expect the person to use it. He said he doesn't take numbers often but wanted mine and wasn't sure what to do. So I said "Well, I guess your wife doesn't allow you to hang out with the guys too often, so it would be hard to get numbers". He said -shocked- that he isn't married. I said "Oh. Well, there you go".

He asked if I had categorized him as some random number-taking guy. I said "Yes. Sort of". I pointed out that talking on the phone is fine but it's better in person. I also said I don't understand why someone would want your number and then not use it. Or that they use it just to have a phone relationship. None of it makes sense to me. He then said he'd like to come over, bring a movie & take out, and just hang. Ummmmm. No. I am not sure if he was serious or kidding, but....ummmm.....no. Was this his lame attempt at making plans?

Now we are back to "I'll call you later in the week to set something up". Why? Why so many aimless calls? Why no plans for Friday or Saturday? Why can't he say "Hey. Let's meet at ___________ around ______________" instead of this "I'll call you" crap? Again, if you want to go out, say so! I am obviously taking your calls! I ask questions and am interested in what you do! So there's no fear of rejection. What is the problem???
