He Doesn't Call Because He's a Jerk

This is a simple concept. However, sometimes we don't want to believe this. We like the guy. He's hot, smart, funny, and his lips curl up when he smiles. We meet him at a party/club/bar/through a friend, and we really want him to be our boyfriend. We picture a life together, a perfect life, filled with perfect possessions, perfect pets, perfect friends, and a picture album in our head of what our life would be like with him. We had a great first date, and he kissed us. It was passionate, and he grabbed at our body with an intense sensuality that made us swoon in ecstasy. Everything was great. "I'll call you tomorrow", he says. We go back to our apartments, feeling drunk from the several glasses of Chardonnay and smiling as we think back to the date and how wonderful it was. We fall into our beds, knowing he will call, and from that phone call, a whole future awaits. The next day, he doesn't call. He must be BUSY. He'll call tomorrow. The second day passes, and no phone call. He must be REALLY BUSY with work. I'm sure he wants to call, but he just can't find the TIME. Maybe he LOST my phone number. He'll call when he has the TIME. He'll call tomorrow. We talk to our girlfriends, and they tell us he will call. Days go by, and he doesn't. Why? The answer is very clear. He's a total jerk. He takes the easy way out, and he doesn't bother calling because it's easier than calling and having the "talk". The "you're a great girl, but..."talk. We've all heard this talk at one time or another. We've even given it. It's a total bullshit conversation. You're basically saying, "Listen, you're so fantastic and such an amazing person that I want absolutely nothing to do with you. You're so great that I don't even want you in my life. And, no we can't be friends, you're just too incredible." The next time a guy doesn't call, don't sweat it. Just let it go. He wasn't the guy for you, and you weren't the girl for him. Accept it for what it was. Just be glad you didn't receive the talk, and don't give up looking for the guy who truly thinks you're so amazing that he couldn't picture his life without you.
