My take (admittedly on little info): He's not that into you. Move on.

Stop gunning for the hill all the time. She decided to leave her phone away from him while she talked for an hour without checking her phone. He did call 30 min later. We are not perfect. She has known him 8 years. You would think that she would know his behavior by now and that he would probably text. She missed his call because she was flapping her gums.

Stop overreacting all the time and start looking deeper.

Actually, he didn't call. He texted her.

I was going to gun for you but I realized that you forgot to leave the smiley face . You have to leave the smiley face so I can get the sarcasm .

Its' 2015, nobody ever leaves their phone further away than arm's reach. And if they have known each other for 8 years, she knows he is a texter. We all text. Oh, I forgot:

I wasn't being sarcastic. In my world, if someone says "I will call you" it means my phone will ring and someone will be waiting to actually talk to me. If someone says "I will text you," it means I will get a text.

If I'm working on a project on a deadline, I will sometimes leave my phone in the car so I'm not distracted by it because inevitably, that's the day everyone in my contact list will decide they need me. On weekends and evenings, I'm often no where near my phone. Either it's in my purse, plugged into the charger, or in my room whereas I'm downstairs or in my home office. On the weekends especially, I find it rather refreshing to not be tied to my phone.

He didn't call, that's why she missed his communication. You're taking the superficial view of it. My deeper analysis says he's not all that into her. But we don't have enough info on their situation to say for sure. More info needed from the OP. She's known him for 8 years only at work, mainly. But, whatever.

Look baby, look into my virtual eyes. He called at 8:30. She was flapping her gums and didn't pick up the phone until 9:30. it's a relationship, not a business transaction. She waited a whole 1 hour before returning his text or call.

She didn't even check to see if he was ok. If a kitten was suppose to come see me and call at 8. You bet by 8:45 I would be calling her saying "hey lady, where are you with my turkey provologne samich".

Regardless, she snoozed, she lossed. She could have easily excused herself from the party she was having at her home (i believe it was a party since should could not excuse herself for 2 min to check her phone- perhaps another squeeze, woot woot ).

And don't give me the surgery BS. If she is that hurt, she should be resting, not entertaining guests.

How am I doing?

Ok, now I am getting tagged team. Listen, she is making all this fuss but yet she was with a neighbor. Are we not taking this into account? She gaffed off the phone from 8:30 until 9:30. She has some responsibility.

You women always talking about equality and independence but you can't even pick up the phone to call a man? That's it! We are going back to the 60s since you guys can't handle modern times!!

The guy has already proven in his previous actions that he's not into her.

This has nothing to do with it. He said he'd call (not text), so she was waiting for the phone to ring. A neighbor came over and distracted her, but she was still listening for the phone to ring. When someone says they're going to do something, they're expected to follow through, that's what this is about. It has nothing to do with equality. Nice try, though.

I'm sure we'll hear from the OP in a few months, when there's another incident, or when she's moved on, or the guy has moved on.
