Averett,

I can only speak for myself, but when I meet a woman I would like to see sometime, I make sure to give her my number. I explain up-front that I really am not big on being a pushy guy, and that this way she's free to give me a call without all the hassle of wondering if I'll ever call or if I'll ever stop calling; something which several female friends of mine have complained to me about in their relationships with other guys.

For me, doing this also leaves the situation firmly in the woman's hands. If she doesn't call, fine. If she does, great! However, occasionally she's insistent. When that happens, I always make sure to call when I say I will. No exceptions (barring death, dismemberment or alien abduction) allowed.

Of course, since there are a plethora of assholes out there, I've taken the liberty (as have many before me) of making a list of possible reasons why this would happen.....

**He's joined a mime school and no longer talks.

**He's a Hare Krishna, and those airport phones are no place to call from.

**Telling you he'll call was easier than chewing off his arm the next morning to get out of a relationship.

**He got mugged. You're about to be called by some sweaty criminal-type.

**He was carried off by Dingoes in the night.

**He's waiting in a Michigan Secretary of State line for his driver's license (also known as the 7th circle of Hell).

**He's waiting for the hangover to go away.

**He's a man, what do you expect?

**His boyfriend won't let him call.

**His mother took away his phone priviliges.

**That annoying "Crocodile Hunter" finally got to him, and he took his own life to stop the pain of having to watch this moron!

**He forgot where his phone is.

**He's still in shock that his line, "I forgot my number; can I have yours?" actually worked.

**After years of Yoga, he's now able to perform self-fellatio and immediately gave up dating.

**He took a vote among his friends, but then Florida chimed in and blew it.....George W. Bush will be calling you shortly for his date.

**He's busy running for Governor of California.

**The French heat-wave killed him.

**He read one of those "25 Reasons Why Beer Is Better Than Women" posters, agreed, and is now drunk off his ass.

I hope these were amusing. Since I'm not an asshole - at least my female friends have never accused me of being one to my face - I really wouldn't have a clue why he hasn't called.
