We already answered this on your previous thread on the exact same topic.

Why is there a sudden epidemic of repeat threads by the same people?

However, though I have seen him around work since then, he has not attempted to contact me outside of work.
Don't make excuses for him. He wasn't too sick to send you a quick text letting you know he wasn't feeling well and that he would be in touch when he felt better.

You set the precedent for how guys treat you. This is something I've learned through a series of disappointments. Look, everyone gets busy and not everyone is attached to their phone every minute of the day. I would be willing to understand someone going MIA for a few days, but it sounds like this guy is just full of it given the other things you've said about him.

Ahhh, me too kiki. Unfortunately while we think we're just being kind or nice by letting these things slide, they're usually seen as an invitation to sling more crap our way - just to see how much we'll take. By no means am I jaded or would I dismiss everything a guy says for not being in touch as an excuse, but there's certain red flags that I've ignored and trivialized in the past and I won't repeat those mistakes. Live and learn, right?

Absolutely. I get where the OP is coming from. When you like someone it's easy to come up with excuses for why they haven't called. I have put up with some really really bad behavior from guys in the past. But you're right - live and learn. The older I get the easier it is to say goodbye when a guy starts blowing me off or not giving me what I need to be happy.
