I have been talking to this guy for almost a month. The more I talked to him, the less interested in him I became. He was sort of coming on strong and even a little full of himself. About 2 weeks ago, I told him that I didn't want to talk to him anymore. He then asked if we could still be friends. I'm too nice so I said sure.

I ended up being off work this past Friday unexpectedly and had no plans. This guy texts me and we end up hanging out. He lives over an hour away and we got a big snow storm that night so, again, too nice, I invited him to stay the night. I still wasn't very much into him but I did that dreaded "on the first date" sorta thing. Why???? I don't effin know!!! Ugh, I hate me sometimes!!!

The next day, he left and about 2 hours later, being nice, I texted him to make sure he made it home ok. We had a 2 second conversation ending in me saying "lol". At that point, I was done with him. I wasn't going to see him or talk to him again. He is looking to settle down, as am I, so I didn't think it fair to continue on something that I didn't feel was there. It was all a big mistake.

So I left him alone. Surprisingly, he left me alone too.... Which leads me to this..

I can't stop thinking about him now. As into me as he was, I figured I'd have a hard time getting rid of him. But nothing! No texting or calling. Nothing!!

With each hour that went by with no contact, I thought about him more and more. When I really stop and think about it, I am really not that interested in the guy. But just randomly, he'll pop into my head in a good way.

He finally did text me today and asked me if I missed him. I ended up telling him I did but only after he told me he missed me. I feel like I'm playing a game and I hate games. I don't want to lead the guy on, like I said, I don't really like him, so why can't I stop thinking about him?

Because either:

1) You have nothing else in your life to divert your attention from him; or

2) There's something attractive about him that you like and you are in denial.

It's the same old story as always:

If he's not that into you (calling, texting) you want him...
If he's into you (calling, texting, trying to get together) you want nothing to do with him...lol

And that, whether you like it or not, is a game!

Cuz he boinked you. It is a female thing. You cannot boink and forget.

You can try to be like a guy, you can pretend you are a guy, and you can climb to the mountaintops and scream "I WANT TO FORGET HIM". But you cannot. Boink works that way for girls.

Opposite for dudes. He cannot remember your name.

It's very frustrating at times, but it's also very true. There will always be women who claim to be the exception to the rule, but those women are typically emotionally damaged.
