Oh please, she could call him on his cell at night, no reason to bother him at work...there was actually a time that one
could not get personal calls at work...it was frowned on...and IMO rightfully so, he is paid to do a job, not fart around with her on the phone.

You my friend dodged a bullet. Run the other way, she will probably call you back when you keep ignoring...She is expecting your pleading voice inticing her back into the "relationship"....Don't look back. Move on.

You met her last week. It's only Monday which means it was a few days ago. In a way you were both wrong.

You were wrong for not telling her after the first attempts to reach you during the day that you are busy at work during certain hours and can talk freely at other times of the day.

She was wrong for assuming you can talk during the day at work and then getting an attitude when you finally did reach out to her.

When I called once I got off of work today, this DUMMIE said: "every time I call you're busy, so since you're so busy lose my number". Basically saying, to stop calling her. I said you must be kidding me. I also said there's not one women on the planet the will ever come before my job. She hung up on me.


Maybe I'm missing something.
She apparently didn't like your attitude. And this is from your side of the story.

People blow others off by saying they are too busy, working, ect. Maybe he didn't tell her what kind of job he has? If he did, then she should understand.

I think you tried out The Rules and overdid it, and lost out. If you really don't care for the woman, then it isn't so much specifically a missed opportunity as it is a lesson that The Rules really don't work after all, at least with non-drunk self respecting women who don't live in trailers with their brothers' friends. Sorry dude.

Either you WERE too busy, or she is irrational. Either way sounds like it is best that it is over.

Seems like a more normal response.... instead of launching into a diatribe about how no woman is gonna supersede his job....

I guess a pissy childish retaliation to her pissy childish comment to him....

At the same time a guy who thinks no woman or no relationship is more important than his job has a serious, serious case of misplaced priorities.
At the same time, couldn't this guy have supplied her with alternative means of communications?
At the same time, both should not reproduce.
I couldn't have said it better!
