Dear Harlan,
If I had a nickel for every time I had heard the line "I really like you. I don't know why I don't call you more often" from guys whom I once dated or almost dated, I wouldn't need to find the job for which I am so desperately looking. What is this phenomenon? I know that my mom is right to say that it isn't me. Obviously, it's them. But why do I keep choosing guys who have a predilection to such phrases? I am a self-assured, educated, witty (if I may be so bold) young lady. Does this happen to other people? What do they do?
Tired of Bad Lines
When offered a big heaping spoon of BS from one of us, you don't need to hold your breath and swallow. Use your wit and wisdom to call out these guys on the real reason for their lack of interest.
ReplyDeleteFirst, make sure the reason they're not calling you more often doesn't have to do wtih equipment issues (I'm talking about their phones). Next, make sure that they have all of your correct phone numbers. Once you've ruled out equipment issues and contact information as possible reasons why they don't call more often, let them know that you think you know the reason for their lack of interest. Just put it out there -- it must be because they don't like you enough to call you more often. That's got to be the only reason. Call it like you see it. A man who likes you enough will find time to call you. Once you explain this, let them know that should they like you enough to call you more, they have the number. This should quickly end this phenomenon. - Harlan
