So it was tonight and i was planning on going, since it was my best friend, also his friend. Well after school i made sure that he was going, and he said that he might, but he has alot of homework. He would have gone right after play practice. and soo i stayed after until 5:30 when the game started. i called him to see if he was going, and he didn't pick up so i left a message.

BitsandPieces answered Friday September 29 2006, 9:54 pm: Guys like to avoid hysterical girls that are pissed at them like the plague. He did not blow you off personally, but just had other things to do. If you are going to think that he owes you an apology or an explanation for not making it, you are out of line. Why do you feel like crap? You are putting too much expectation into little things. When we have deep feelings that are bigger than reality dictates as appropriate, we need to examine those feelings and figure out why we react the way we do. Have other people broken promises and let you down in big ways that you have not had the opportunity to confront? Don't hold it against your boyfriend. We often bring past baggage from our lives into new relationships and destroy them with it. Try to come to terms with any you may be carrying and deal with it in the right context of your life. This takes courage, but is well worth it. [ BitsandPieces's advice column | Ask BitsandPieces A Question ]

If he can justify his actions, cool, you might like to remind him it's about courtesy and manners and respect for you to reply - not just about whether he wanted to go to the game.
If he can't and he was being an idiot - his problem not yours. Don't jusify his actions they are his alone, you do not have responsibility nor can you control the way someone else behaves.
