Why Hasn't He Called? (repost from 5/19/08)
You have been out on several dates with Mr. Possibilities, things seem to be going better than you expected, you seem rather compatible, and you seem to enjoy each others company. A few days go by and there is no word from him. He isn't calling, you expected him to, after all it seemed things were going quite well between the two of you. There are some reasons the phone has not rang that you may not have considered. What you may not realize is that he may not be as into you as you are him. People like to keep their options open these days. While he has been on two dates with you he could have been on four dates with someone else, it could be possible that he decided to devote his full attention to the other person. He could be sick or injured. He could have got arrested and landed in jail. His telephone could be out of order. His may not have paid his telephone bill, so it is temporarily disconnected. He lost your number, or forgot your number. He dialed the wrong number and another man answered. Maybe he called, you didn't answer and he freaked out. He called but you were too busy talking on the other line. He has other things going on in his life that is taking his time and attention like work. He is so determined to move ahead that he does not want the distraction of anything (including a relationship) getting him off track. He could have just got out of a serious relationship and not yet be ready to commit. It could be the distance, it is possible that long distance is just not for him. You could be the woman of his dreams but if your geographical location is way off his radar it could be a bummer. There are many reasons unknown as to why he hasn't called. Don't sit by the phone waiting for his call. Life goes on. Keep your options open. Maybe someone better could be on the other end of your phone line.
