confused

ok, yes, i must admit, that i am confused most of the time. but it's only worse when people create confusing situations and put me right the smack dab in the middle of it.

so here it is ... i know i should actually be embarassed or something about this ... but i'm not ... i should probably be angry about this ... but i'm not ... even frustrated or perturbed would be an appropriate emotion, but i'm not ... i'm just a little confused.

i guess to protect the identity of the innocent ... i shall mask the actual names of those involved ... i'm sure you'll marvel at my clever pseudonyms.

so one friday, girl y meets boy x. y and x talk for a while and eventually, have to part ways. before x leaves y, he asks for her number. she thinks about it and does oblige him. ok, nothing out of the ordinary here.

y is surprised when she receives a phone call from x the following tuesday. they talk for a while and then at the end of the conversation, he suggests they get together sometime. again, she thinks about it and obliges him ... carpe diem, right? he asks what a good night is for her ... he says he's good for thursday, and lucky for him, that's pretty much her only free day for the next week.

so it's thursday night. x said he would phone y around 7 and then they could decide where to go from there. so after work, x goes out for some pool and some drinks with her co-workers. she keeps her cellphone nearby for when x calls. by 8, it's apparent he won't call so she continues on her merry way with her co-workers for more drinks and some thai food.

so ... here's the question ... why does x initiate all conversation, make a date ...make time arrangements surrounding the date and then just not call at all? it's not like y forced him into it. she didn't even know if she really wanted to go on the date and frankly she's not too bothered that it didn't happen. mostly, she's just confused as to why he'd make a date and then just disappear.

unless when he said thursday he meant friday? *shrugs*

ah well.
