Confused

Being logic is just beyond me sometimes.

Every guy I know tells me that guys are 'simple creatures'. Really? Simple as in - I'm going to mean what I say and say what I mean. Or simple as in - listen to nothing that I say because its probably not true. I gets me really confused.

And no, no I'm not confused on 4th of July jello shots. I actually didn't have one thing to drink today although I did have some great grilled chicken. Men confuse me. Growing up I used to think there were all these rules when it came to dating - let him chase you, don't be too available, and follow your heart. Sadly, when I followed those rules things never worked out. Then I changed and started to do whatever I felt like. I started chasing boys, would respond to their emails/texts within 24 hours, and would sleep with them if I felt like it. Sadly, that too hasn't worked out for me.

I just don't understand why people can't be adult enough to be upfront and honest. If I like someone I'm going to tell them. Obviously I'm not going to do it out of no where but if I feel the mood is right then I'm going to go for it. No this doesn't involve the 'L' word. More along the lines of 'Hey (fill in the blank), I like you. I like hanging out with you and I have fun when I'm around you. I know you are really busy and have a bunch of stuff on your plate but I would love to see you again and see where this goes. Hmm...pretty upfront and honest. Great opportunity for the other person to say either 'yeah I dig you too' or 'wow you totally disgust me go away'. I was expecting that. What I wasn't expecting was the ignoring of texts, no phone calls, emails, nothing.

After the initial shock of feeling like a total idiot for putting myself out there I settled down. Did I sleep with him too soon? Maybe. Did I misunderstand him wanting to hang out with me and taking me out to dinner? Possibly. Where the compliments and slight touches nothing but him being friendly? It could happen. Regardless of what his reasons are the bottom line is he's not that into me. Because if he was he wouldn't have let a week go by without making an effort to contact me - no matter how busy he is.

I will chalk this up to experience.
