" My coworker set me up with her friend. We had a great night; he called my friend afterward to say what an amazing time he had and sent me an e-mail saying he wanted to hang again. I suggested drinks, and that was the last I&amp;amp;#146;ve heard from him. What the hell? Let&amp;amp;#146;s give him the benefit of the doubt: He could have gotten busy at work or left town for a while. If a week passed, his insecure side talked him out of calling, imagining that you&amp;amp;#146;d answer his call with &amp;amp;#147;Joe Schmo, who?&amp;amp;#148;  You say that you suggested getting drinks. Some Neanderthals still think a woman&amp;amp;#146;s following up is too forward. Although it was understandable for you to try to move things along, he could have interpreted it as pushy and even semidesperate.  What I really think happened? He didn&amp;amp;#146;t feel the sparks, but he felt too awkward telling you and your friend. So rather than hurt your feelings or his friendship, he told you both what you wanted to hear. It&amp;amp;#146;s easier to be positive and disappear than to be a Davie Downer right off the bat.  If this is really bothering you, then request that your friend do some digging. Nothing&amp;amp;#146;s wrong with her asking him &amp;amp;#147;So whatever happened between you and [your name here]?&amp;amp;#148; He&amp;amp;#146;ll probably just toss out the lame excuses that I explained earlier or, worse, claim that a relative died. Guys trot out this morbid defense to make you feel so uncomfortable that you will want to forget the date ever happened in the first place &amp;amp;#151; which, at this point, sounds like a good idea.
