I had written to you earlier about the boy I like being really shy on the phone. Now, I'm beginning to think it's not just shyness. We basically agreed we wouldn't start anything until summer. And it's summer now! We haven't done anything! Everything was great for awhile...we talked on the phone and internet alot. Then, he was gone on a trip. But he didn't call me when he got back. So I finally called him...and we talked about doing something for his birthday together. Well, his birthday has passed and nothing. He works all day most of the time, so I know he's busy. But I call his cell...so my # should show up...and he doesn't call me back. And I'm afraid I did or said something wrong...and I don't understand if he's just really busy or doesn't want to talk to me. I've been really looking forward to this summer and now I'm afraid I'll never get to see him. Should I tell him this??

MotherJune answered Saturday June 19 2004, 7:09 pm: I don't understand why this guy is making your heart ache...and that is exactly what he is doing. He seems to have a reason (excuse) for NOT following through with: picking up in the summertime with the relationship, calling after he went on a trip, getting together for his birthday, and so on. If he has broken this many "dates", he isn't interested in a relationship that is beyond talking on the phone and via the internet. If you are the only one trying, you are being taken for granted. You should probably go on without him. Keep your eyes and heart open for someone more considerate and don't allow yourself to be treated 2nd hand....you deserve more.
