Please, Just Let Me Die Already
maxusy3k:
Going from the 'not that into you' angle, maybe it is just x person thinks y person would be cool to hang out with / get to know better then just becomes pre-occupied with other things / people?
I mean, I am pretty terrible at keeping plans together and returning messages just because I get distracted easy or simply forget to reply / make arrangements when I finish up whatever I was doing at the time, unless it is certain very specific people who are trying to make the plans in the first place.
It could be a case of the pursuit being more attractive than the catch, I guess. I don't know, I've never really been in the situation where I shrugged off my interest in somebody. I guess I've had friends where either I was sending the wrong signals or they were reading too far into my actions and it may seem like I was playing this game with them, when in actuality it is just a case of I got talking to them, they were fun to hang out with at that particular time, I thought it'd be a cool idea to hang out some more but then a whole bunch of other 'more important' things came along and I generally just forgot to keep the other person informed.
I think it is maybe just a human thing where the thing you don't have - so to speak - is more desireable than the thing you do. A natural desire to get more or whatever. The shiny new toy is almost always seen as better than the used old one, even if they're pretty much the same.
Bastardous Bassist:
So, you think by the time you get to the "let's hang out together" stage, the chase is done? That certainly explains a lot, though I completely don't share that view.
Though, on your other point, that does seem to make a lot of sense.
allison:
Why do I chase boys who get bored of me? Why do I get jealous? Why do I play "the friend"?

very often people are just cowards who don't have the guts to say they aren't interested and instead play their own little game where they decide you do and don't exist only when it's most convenient for them. there's not a lot you can do except remember that you're awesome and it's him, not you. forget him and find a guy who's actually aware that other people besides himself have feelings too.

I really wish people would quit implying that self-absorbed people are cowardly. It's really not cowardice. We just don't care. There is a difference.
