Do Men Seriously Act Like This?

Dumb title. Very vague but aside from that I know that men, at least the one I’m referring to act like this. Maybe that’s just the way he rolls and if so then that explains why he’s single.

If you’ve read my blog recently you might have heard me mention my “friend”. He was supposed to be my date (woo hoo for once I wasn’t going to be the odd man out. For once I wasn’t going to have to listen to everyone say hey we need to find you a man, hey how come you don’t have a date….blah blah blah. Oh the joys of being the single one of the family. As if being single is a DiSEASE or something. Seriously!) for this Saturday night for my mom and step dads wedding vow renewal shin dig they won through KLT, a local radio station up North. It’s called KLT’S MOST EXCELLENT WEDDING and if you click on the link and look at the 2nd picture (they both have black on & are kissing) of all the couples that’s my mom & step dad. You really should check out the pic cause that’s the sweetest picture I’ve ever seen (hey mom how come I’ve NEVER seen that pic before? What’s up with that? LOL).

Oh yes back to the point of this post. It’s so easy for me to get off on a tangent. Anyways…I can’t believe that men are so immature that they pull the ‘falling off the face of the earth’ stunt. You know the one where suddenly you don’t hear from them. You send a text only to get no response. You wait awhile (I waited a full 24 hours just so you know. Didn’t want him to think I was desperate or anything!) and then you call only to get his voice mail and no return call. Ok it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out he’s not interested. No big deal. No skin off my back.

Wait. Ok so it is a big deal. But not because he doesn’t want to see me anymore. I’m truly ok with that (Lord knows I’m still working on issues from the recent heartbreak over soldier man and shouldn’t have involved msyelf with so called “friend” D in the first place.)

So what’s my beef with this situation?

Well HELLO at 33 I’m not into playing immature little highschool games (and even back in highschool I didn’t go through a man doing the whole ignoring me thing. It was as simple as hey I don’t like you or hey I don’t want to see you anymore).

Stop!

Don’t go getting defensive and saying hey give him the benefit of the doubt, he could have been in an accident or something along those lines. Yes that’s true. And just to let you know I did think about that. In fact I spent the weekend wondering if something had happened because him ignoring me and brushing me off was so totally out of character for him. But by Monday I got passed that and realized that it was a case of being brushed off. In other words he totally played me.

So the problem that has me banging my head against a wall from trying to figure him out (hmmm that’s my first mistake – will women ever figure men out? No probably not) is how can he, at 36, be that immature to just blow me off? Obviously he had no respect for me because if he had he would have had the ba**s to pick up the phone and tell me “hey I can’t make it on the 13th and oh by the way I don’t wanna see you anymore”. Seriously it’s NOT that hard to brush someone off the proper way.

So once again I’m back to that Men suck attitude. Being single is definitely so much easier! Even if my family makes me feel like singledom is a disease or that there’s something wrong with me because at 33 I’m still single. Nope nothing wrong with me just being choosy about who I date. Although this just goes to show I wasn’t choosy enough.
