Ok Can you all tell me if I'm the only one here or if anyone else is like this too

I don't know if I just suffer from exceptionally good memory or what, really.but something that has recently became a major pet peeve of mine is people who say they will call and then never do until a day later to say "oh I'm sorry, I forgot to call you".

This is just driving me insane. It's not just one person either. I feel like that when I tell someone I'm going to do something, that I ought to follow through with itIf I do mess up, I certainly don't repeat the mistake a second time in a row, either.

I have found myself at the end of this problem (obviously) several times in the last few days. Twice with a prospective new "love interest". She will say, "I'll call you later" and then never does until the next day to apologize and offer an excuse. This has been twice in a row, also. I don't know if I'm dumb for shrugging it off as if I don't care or if she's the ditzy one who just can't remember to make good on what she says. I have also considered the possibility of it being a "message" but why the call later to apologize??? and twice at that?

Anyone had any expereince and or techniques for resolving this problem? As I said, this is happeneing with someone I'm somewhat interested in and my idea of "resolve" would be something along the lines of "Hey! Why don't you remember to do what you say you're going to do, next time?!" and end it with some type of Adjective of the four or five-letter variety.... I don't see that going over well....

I feel ya. I think in my case it stems from always trying to be punctual and nice. So when you sit there waiting you think to yourself "If I said I would call them back I would make good on that" It would be nice if your brain had an off switch for stuff like this. Drives me freaking nuts.

Yeah, I'm sort of like this too. To me, if I say I'm going to do it, I do it unless I get hit by a bus.

But you have to understand, not everyone is like this. And its not a "fault", they're just different.

When it comes to people that are very important to you, you should do something about it. Wait until you are good and calm. In the NICEST WAY POSSIBLE try to explain your feelings.

I have made the mistake of not doing this with someone very important to me. What ends up happening is that it occurs a few times and is festers. Then you get upset and even mad. NOT GOOD! Don't let it get that far. Don't let it become an issue! You can control that!

You might not change someone else, but making your feelings understood will overall be a good thing.

You're right ... it's rude ...

Maybe there is some ridiculous self-help book out there that is telling girls to call a day after they promised so as not to seem too eager ... if you have one, burn it.

On the othr hand, things come up, so no need to be overly rigid about it either.

That is what I was trying to say about myself to the "T" I am exceptionally punctual... To me; punctuality shows respect. To put it completely bluntly... If some says they're going to call, come by, do something, and then does not do it, I feel that it is just blatant disrespect.... Which also causes me to take it extremely personally. I guess that's why it drives me up a wall. I just don't understand how someone can "forget" under normal circumstances... How is that possible?

So... course of action... Do I or do I not call her? This will be 3rd time in 5 days... (yes... i'm a psychopath, I count EVERYTHING always) She hasn't called with the apology and excuse, yet. I'm sure its going to come. Should I just come out with what I'm thinking "Hey, listen... I get the picture, you're not that interested; why don't we just cut our losses and see ya around. I had a great time with you and hope we can see eachother again when your schedule frees up a bit" (because to me, this shows obvious disinterest) or should I not change my current status of "make up something that I was doing that kept me so busy that I didn't notice her not calling" ?

3 times in 5 days? Yeah ... seems like the appropriate response to me.

i couldn't agree with you more, some people suck with their phone skills! even if sometimes i don't call exactly when i say i will, i still make the call within the same day! these people who call a day or two or three after they say they will need a good bare bottom hard spanking
