There are those that say they will call. They don't. There are those that don't take that personally, and those of us that do. There are those that are surprised if/when you do get offended. This happens with acquaintances, with friends, and sadly in dating life. Is it apathy or do we take things too much to heart?

Scenario #1:

You run into an old friend that you have not seen in awhile, simply because you fell out of touch, but you don't remember why that was. You chat for awhile and they say, in the end, that they will call you, and possibly bring up a specific event. You never hear from them. The event comes and goes. You call and the call is not returned.

Scenario #2:

You go on a date with a person that sparked your interest. The evening was fun and you laughed tons. You have a few more dates, at first close together, then they become more sporadic. After the last date, they say they will call you and get together again soon. A week passes, then two... nothing. You hear from them months later and they say they were busy, or had an illness, but want to go out again.

How do you all feel about this sort of apathy? Does it happen to you and how do you deal with it?



#1 I am always the one saying "Let me call you back." Then I never return calls. It not that I actually mean not to return their calls, I just have other things going on. My friends understand that I have things in my life right now that I am dealing with..so they don't really get upset with me. The ones that I haven't seen for years or heard from in years, there must be a reason why...my life is complicated right now, so why would I take extra worries on?
#2 I am that person that says it, and I am the one with the illness. I just went into remission in August of 07. Heres the thing, I am being honest when I say that I will call you later. BUT sometimes, things do happen. I am still on the mend and this is the reason why I love being single. If I am sick, I can be sick all by myself and not have to worry about making someone else happy!!
So I guess I am that annoying person that says "I will return your call" and then I never do!!

I'm glad to hear you are on the mend.happy And it's not annoying if your friends understand you and love you for who you are, as they should.
