I'm into this guy who I've only known for about a month. I don't know what's going on with him most of the time. He gives all indications that he's into me too, including asking me out, and then suddenly I don't hear from him for a couple of days. I don't know if he just doesn't call when nothing's happening, or if he has decided I'm not all that. I obsess over what might be happening. Finally I did hear from him today and he said he had been sick so he didn't call, but everything is fine. Then he said he'd call me tonight but didn't. Why do people do these things? Why do they feel compelled to say what they think we want to hear rather than the truth? Wouldn't life be easier and more pleasant if people were just honest with each other? Wouldn't it be less stressful for everyone?
