Guy should usually pay. Sorry. It's a chivalry thing that makes me feel special. Same with opening doors and handing over the jacket. Of course I'd always offer to pay, but I'd expect the guy to pay most times (not every single time). I'm no anti-feminist or anything. I just think it really shows that he's a prince if he does pay. And we all deserve a prince.

No, don't tell her yet. You don't know the full story. Were they in a big group or just the 2 of them? Maybe you can confront the guy?

The waitress thing makes sense. I actually only work at weddings so I don't get tips, I get a gratuity in check form. And I am nicer to the guys that I'm interested in, hoping they'll ask me out. I hear what most of you guys are saying. Play harder to get! That's what my mom always told me. I just find it so difficult to be aloof when all I wanna do is jump on these hot guys heh j/k but I think you catch my drift

Yeah do tell me. I feel like if he wasn't interested, he would not have asked for a number.

Why do guys ask for a number, but not call. The last 3 guys I've met (while waitressing or at bars), actually asked me for digits. I didn't slip it into their jockies on a gum wrapper or anything So why no call? It's been a couple weeks for each of them. This has never happened to me before. Usually if they do the asking, I get a call within a few days max.

Thanks. I really thought he could be the one, after years of meeting all the wrong ones. But I've gotten over the others and I'll get over him too. I hope things work out for you as well. I don't understand why men pretend to be in love when they really aren't. There's really no need for it these days. Back in the old days guys might have used the L word to get a girl into bed, but it's not like that anymore. If you want to hook up with someone, just go to a bar. Hang in there hun O

Hi everyone! I'm new to the board and I've been inspired to join by a recent ex bf of mine. First of all, I'm 23 and I have dated quite a bit, but never had a serious bf that lasted years. My most recent ex seemed very promising. We only dated 2 months, but it got serious very quick, maybe too quick. He was calling me every day and seemed so happy to talk to me. One thing that bugged me was that he never wanted to pick me up at my house. He was 27 and lived in his own place, I'm 23 and live with my parents. Whenever it was time to go out he had some excuse not to pick me up, like he was tired from working so much or that he was the one paying so I should put in some effort. He started calling me less and less. One weekend, he didn't tell me he was going out of state for 3 days. I hadn't talked to him all week. His excuse was being too busy with work to even talk. So I finally flipped out and yelled at him. I said do you even want to be my boyfriend? He said of course he did. But I was being "crazy" because I wanted him to call and tell me he was going out out of state. He told me that this was his life, and I was very crazy for expecting more of him. Naturally my friend told me to dump the loser. It's been a few months and I haven't been able to meet anyone else. I've talked to him on the phone and he says he misses me. He calls me maybe once every 2 weeks. We made plans to have a drink, but he had some excuse about going to a house party instead (this man is actually 27). Why is he stringing me along? I go out with friends and meet a lot of guys. But they never ever call. I get some guy asking for my number literally every time I go out. But ZERO have actually called me. I don't know what to do. I am very lonely.
