The guy I was seeing hasn’t called in two weeks.
I called him ~ a week ago.
His roommate said he was at work.
I called him earlier today.
His roommate told me he was out.
We used to talk every night.
Looks like he’s not interested in seeing me anymore.
At least I have a teddy bear to hold tonight.
How pathetic.
You have us, The Straight Dope Lonely Hearts Club Band! I check in here almost every hour, and my e-mail is in my profile. I’m probably old enough to be your grandpa, but I have a good heart and I know what it’s like to be lonely.
You’re not pathetic. You are a human being who needs another human being. Don’t even go there, okay?

Well, 7, if I were closer I’d offer to let you cuddle me. Sadly, I’m nowhere near close enough for cuddling. <sigh>
Yeah, to hell with the teddy bear! Find some big slab of man candy to cuddle. That’ll show him! (The ex-boyfriend, not the slab.)
Thanks people.
What I’m upset about is not that it’s over but the fact that he doesn’t even have the decency to call and tell me he’s not interested anymore thus the past two weeks have been wasted waiting by the phone.
WHY do guys do this? :mad:
Of course a girl never would do such a thing…
Best wishes though, just don’t let him back in once he changes his mind.
The hetero woman’s mantra:
[sub]*Men are pigs… men are pigs… men are pigs… *[/sub]
Chocolate. The woman needs chocolate!
Guys are slime! You deserve better than that. You have my sympathy, I know what it feels like. Heartbreak is the worst feeling, IMHO. I wouldn’t wish it upon my worst enemies.
Best of luck to you, we all love you here!
Video store! STAT!
I need a bolus of Chocolate milk, in a 30sec drip. Nurse, push 3 CD’s Aimee Mann, med. vol. Cordless phone and address book on standby. Alright move it!
PS: Extraneous, my BF broke up with me Sunday after I said I can’t take it how he treats me like shit anymore. Then, he told me he’d been going out and having sex with other people, just to make me feel even lower.
Yes, men are pigs. And I’m one.:smack:
What you need is a really BIG teddy bear. You can get inexpensive ones at Ikea, believe it or not. They do make excellent friends, don’t they?
Tommy-kun got me one for when he can’t be there. His name is Edward.
Chocolate… it’ll only make me fatter and more undesirable…
Yeah, yeah… I know… I shouldn’t be making those kinds of self bashing remarks, but I am wallowing in a pool of self pity here…
It was thirty years ago today, that
Unca Cecil taught the band to play
Fightin’ ignorance with skill and guile
with Teaming Millions from the rank and file
So may I introduce to you
The act you’ve known for all these years,
Unca Cecil’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
We’re Unca Cecil’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,
We’re waiting right here by the phone,
We’re Unca Cecil’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,
We may be lonely but we’re not alone.
Unca Cecil’s lonely, Unca Cecil’s lonely,
Unca Cecil’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Our boyfriends haven’t called us,
Our girlfriends make us ill.
Ex-spouses leave us in the dirt,
We’d like someone at home with us,
We’d love someone at home.
Our relationships really blow,
They’re non-existant but even so,
We’ll complain about it loud and long,
With fellow Dopers who’ll bitch along.
So may I introduce to you
The one only 7 Up Yours
And Unca Cecil’s Lonely Hearts Club Band!

Why did you waste 2 weeks on this guy?
While I was waiting for him to call I would have been going out with friends and having a good time, no matter how infatuated with him I was.
Guys seem to like someone who has a life… no offense. So the next guy that you fancy that you start to date don’t hang around waiting for him, that’s how lives are wasted.
Until you start sleeping with them you can date as many guys as you like. The good part about that is when you have a few dates going at once and you’re enjoying it, it stops you from sleeping with anyone too quickly until you choose the right one.
Anyway get rid of the bear, and go see a movie or something, catch up with some friends and get a life. ( that was meant to be a motivating pep-talk, not a put-down 
)
Good luck
I’m in love.
Q
:dubious:
TEEMING, the Millions are. Although we do work as a team.
Actually, a girl I was kind of seeing just did this to me. We were on the phone, chatting away, then:
“Hey, can I call you back?”
That was two weeks ago. Haven’t heard from her.
Men aren’t pigs, and women aren’t bitches. People just suck.
What can I say? I’m just a big, fat, ugly loser with no life.
Actually, I wasted about a month on this guy.
And I’ve managed to alienate some friends… but that’s a whole other story.
What else can I say?
Life does indeed suck for me.
Let’s see how much longer until I get sacked at work.
Okay. Now its time to visualize the roller coaster going up up up.
You’ve hit bottom. Now its time to go up. Don’t sink any lower - get out there and start going up!
Try this. Look in the mirror and practice smiling. The biggest, happiest smile you can smile. Giggle. Force yourself to giggle over nothing. These are the things I do - they sound corny but they work for me.
Other things I’ve done before to get rid of the icky funk you’re in right now:
Exercise (not something I do much of… )
Watch a girl movie (I recommend Moonlight and Valentino - but only because its got the Bon Jovi man in it…)
Get in the car and drive somewhere - just drive and drive and drive
Good luck!
What an ass. That’s such a gutless way to end a relationship. Right down there with breaking up over the internet.
