No watered down advice here! agony auntHave you ever heard of the Phrase " He's just shooting his regular?" That's when a man is doing what he normally does,on a regular basis. And in this case, he lies on a REGULAR BASIS! Now, I think you knew that. What is your real question? Should you continue to deal with such a person, That has you with one ear leading to the phone and one towards the door hoping he'll stop back by instead of calling! SMH! GIRL! DON'T GO THROUGH ALL THAT! I've been through enough of those games for you and me both!

Thanks for your responses..they were all good. I know he cares for me and we usually talk around an hour when we are on the phone. I think he just gets caught up in doing something else lol.

Thanks Freemer, I believe he is clueless about that.

what a very rude man. What are you expected to do? Put your life on hold? Hang off his every word? Wait for his 'noblesse oblige', to do the right thing? This man has no manners, is not a gentleman, and deserves to be dropped, now.

Remind him that he said he would call. And not all men do it. Just some.

FluffyPie agony auntFor how long have you been going out ? It's important, because he might have lost interest or who knows, you fell to easy for him, he got you now so he doesn't have to do the cashing anymore.

Anyway, let's say he's either too busy or he simply forgot to call you. Even of the phone is not his best friend, if he's not into talking on the phone kind of guy that is, I don't think you should be worried.

If I were you, I'd be more worried if he FORGET to call you. My boyfriend used to do the same, he said he was going to call me, but always forgot so I told him how this makes me feel.

Just talk to him. Tell him that you feel unimportant and tell him to keep his promises towards you. Or tell him that if he can't keep them, he shouldn't promise to call.

If he never calls, DON'T call him. If he doesn't call you anymore, it's obvious he's no longer interested and you should move on.

Best wishes!

As guys we're often just kind of clueless that it might be irritating to anyone. We pull that kind of thing on each other all the time without thinking twice. Plus we're often a little clueless as to the passage of time. In guy speak you could say, "Yo - I can't hang by the phone for you but we can talk later if you want." If the guy digs you, you'll gain his respect and he WILL CALL BACK, probably right away! (I know from personal experience :-)
