I understand we all have busy lives. But why cant the one who proclaims love for you never call even if it is just a 3 second phone call. Hi I love you and am thinking of you. Has life gotten so busy he cant find the time. Tells me indeed he cant find the time.

i may not be from tennessee but you're a friend and i wanted to share this with you. i totally agree with you!! life is too short to waste!! if they care at all for you, they should take a few minutes out of their busy lives to call, just to hear your voice!!

You are right. If a man like you at all, even for a friend, he should call sometime. Why do women act like they don't have time to talk? Are that you are bothering them when you call.

There are many reasons why men dont call here are just a few
1: maturity....we dont learn that we get what we want when we give what you want until an older age...
2: intelligence... we lose so much blood to one head that we forget to use the right one
3: gender disadvantage.....most of us use one word or one sentence answers to all of lifes questions how could you possibly expect us to piece together a whole conversation
4: attitude.....we think we are the cats meow and want you to chase us
5: RESPECT.......MOST of us dont know how to give it or receive it and the ones who do this whole topic doesnt even apply to them

Of course, some men are just shy and don't know what to say in their opening line. Once we get past that it goes a little smoother. Or we don't want women to get a bad immpression with our opening line.

I don't want to sound too off topic here, but I do think it is relevant.
I would say that almost everyone I know anymore is so self absorbed that they leave little room for someone else or their feelings. Everything seems so geared towards what I can get out of something? How will it affect me? Why can't he/she call me? Me, Me, Me, I, I, I! Seems the whole world has I trouble.
We all have "needs" don't we. Well, are they needs or wants? How much energy do we all waste wondering why someone else does or does not do something you want them to do?
Hey, I have an idea! Try to think of the other guy first, genuinely put the interests of someone else in front of your own. Here's the caveat though, you can't expect a return favor, or keep an accounting of it.
It gets easier to do with some time and practice and before you know it, your doing it all the time! This sort of attitude and approach to social interaction is highly contagious as well and next thing you know, you have lots of people looking out after you, calling and inviting you places, all sorts of wonderful things!
I know I'm long winded, but the gist of it all is this, an antiquated, by modern standards, maxim called "The Golden Rule".

Well, I can't speak for a man, but I can sympathize with not being able to talk on the phone alot!! Between my child, my momma, and the myriad of things I have to do during a weekday, phone conversations are a challenge. And I am NOT buying one of those ear plugs to make me look like I'm talking to myself...lol!! I usually can talk, just not for long periods of time.

I don't mean this mean or cruel, but usually if they don't call they're not truly interested .. I've learned after all these years to take the attitude if they do they do if they don't so what. I couldn't tell ya the last time I sit around waiting on a call. The best do when they behave in that manner is keep your options open.. in other don't put all your eggs in one basket.

I agree with alot of things said here. It is a good indication that they really aren't that interested if they don't call. I am still waiting on a call from one that said "I am going to the shower and I will give a call when I get out." Now, I know without a doubt that his water bill is sky high for sure - and he is wrinkled like a prune.
OR...........he just isn't interested and did have the guts to say - hey, I think you would be okay as a friend, but I don't really want to go anywhere else with this.
Now, that takes a real man to be able to say that. And part of the relationship process whether it be friendship, FWB, love or lust - is honesty.

If he can't find the time, what exactly are his priorities? When I have been in love I have never had to FIND the time. I made the time. It is all about priorities ...
