How to Understand Why Men Don't Call
So you met the guy of your dreams, had a few laughs and really seemed to hit it off. As you bade him farewell, he promised to call you and headed off into the sunset. Now, as you constantly check your phone for the fourth day straight, you find yourself asking questions like “Why hasn’t he called?” and “Is it something I said or did?” In actuality, a man will avoid calling a woman for a variety of reasons, the majority of which have more to do with him than with you.
