Damn the phone!


Question Posted Thursday July 8 2004, 9:57 pm

I can talk to my best guy friend Matt on the phone for hours... and still find things to talk about. We talk on the phone a lot, but it's always me that calls.. or him calling me back. So I thought well I'll wait and see how long it takes for him to call me..

A week goes by, nothing.

Finally I have to call him, and we have like a two hour conversation and he even complained that we hardly talked the last week. (In my mind I was thinking yes and it tore me apart.) I mean it seems like he likes talking to me, but he never EVER calls..

What's the deal? Is that a sign he just doesn't really want to talk? Or am I reading into this to much. I know how it feels to be called my someone who you REALLY don't want to talk to, but talk to anyways.. maybe it's like that?

I'm so confused..

Drop him a hint that you would like to be called sometimes the next time you talk. Don't worry yourself overmuch about this. If he is returning your phone calls and taking them, you are fine. When he stops returning phone calls, then give him a break.

Heres a little tidbit about us guys. We are LAZY and FORGETFUL. We would forget our arms if they werent screwed onto us. I think you may be overanalyzing this a little bit. Women over-analyze and men under-analyze, its a simple fact of life.

If you had a two hour conversation when you called him two weeks later and he didnt sound distant or weird on the phone, then all is normal.

Well maybe what you could do is call and see whats up and find out if he has his reasons for not calling you back... i mean that could be a reason you never really do no... do you ever say you'll call back and dont? that could be just like but with him if that makes sense or maybe he forgot your phone number and is to emberassed to ask for it back or just doesnt like calling ppl in the place.. or something of that situation ... well i hope i helped-trix

Nah if you guys can have a good conversation that lasts hours i'm sure he does want to talk to you because people that want to talk try and think of any way out of speaking to you. I'm sure he just might be nervous to call or something. Or maybe he thinks if he calls you back after you called it means you want to talk and maybe hes like scared or something that you wont want to talk. I dont know thats the best guess i'd say. Maybe you can talk to him ask him why he only calls when you call first. He might be able to tell ya! Lets hope. Good luck and i hope everything works out

Well this situation is kind of happening to me now. This one girl views me as a great friend and trusts me with anything,probably too much. I call her about 1/4th of the time,but mainly she calls me. Reason? Simple. If she's gunna call me all the time,why bother? It sounds like you like this guy as more than just a good ole buddy to me anyway. I doubt the girl that calls me would say "it tears her apart" if we don't talk. He probably likes talking to you,but since you call all the time,he thinks like me,why bother? I would tell him "Look,Matt,it's been awhile since we talked and I missed talking to you. Why don't you ever call me?It'd be kind of a change of pace" He probably doesn't even know he's upsetting you. Hoped I helped,Kevin.
