I really have no great advice on boys, having never been one, and certainly after this week having absolutely no understanding of them at all.
but I can empathize.
I met a guy while I was on vacation about a month ago, not in any romantic sort of way, it was random and he was unbelievably nice. he played tourguide, and showed my friend and I around all day, and I that would have been the end of it, but we kept in contact text messaging each other evvveryday. it was cute. impractical, but fun.
anyhow, we made plans for him to come here for a weekend (this weekend) and visit. my turn to show him around kind of thing. I was super excitied, I had a huge weekend planned.... and he didn't show up last night. I didn't sleep at all, maybe that makes me crazy, but I was scared- it's a long drive, any of a million horrible things could have happened. turns out his car needed work, and he was safe at home, sleeping soundly all night. he called in the morning.
there is a huge fury in my stomach. not directed at anyone in particular, it's just there.
and that sucks.
(sidenote: one of my best friends moved clear across the continent this week for work, and he didn't say goodbye. I don't believe in discriminating a group for an individual action- but the boys I know have really been bringing my outlook on the gender down.)
Milwaukee has been my theme song for the week. knowing that I shouldn't feel bad for myself doesn't make me feel any better, but it makes me feel clear.
sorry about the long ramble. my point isn't that "you're not the only one", it's that your situation sucks. and I do sympathize. it's a bad feeling, but take clarity where you can find it. that's the only advice I have.
