Dating Dilemma: The
Man Who Said He'd Call and Didn't
By Terry Hernon MacDonald
You went out with the guy. You both had a great
time (or at least you thought he did!). You said goodnight, and he
said he'd call you.
He didn't.
Why? What did you say to offend him? Was it your
hair? Your clothes? Your weight? What's wrong with you,
anyway?
The answers to those questions are as follows: Who
cares? Nothing, no, no, no, and not a damn thing.
Every woman in the world--no matter how thin,
beautiful, smart, kind or talented--has been disappointed by a guy
she really liked who said he'd call but didn't.
Whatever you do, don't call him. Why? Because he
said he'd call you, and he didn't. Which means that either his
word is no good (better to know that early on!), or that he
accidentally threw away your phone number with the tin foil he
wrapped his peanut butter sandwich in.
Yes, of course women have every right to phone a
man (as long as they're cool about it), but why put yourself at a
disadvantage by calling someone who pretty much lied to you? Who
needs it?
Now, before you fall into the funk that says
you're never going to get married, all your dates end badly,
you're getting older by the second, you're going to die
alone...
STOP!
The truth is, the guy has done you a favor. He's
not right for you, and in a cowardly manner he's let you know that
immediately, rather than stringing you along for weeks. Rejection
always hurts, sure, but it happens to everybody. And you're
a big girl; you'll definitely get over it.
Remind yourself of what you have to offer, of what
makes you special. Know that if somebody with your fine qualities
exists, surely a man with the good taste to love and appreciate
you also exists.
Know this: The world is full of
much better men than the toad who let you down. And every
rejection you face is a step toward the right man, the one who's
truly worthy of you and will add to your happiness.
