"He didn&amp;amp;#8217;t call when he said he would&amp;amp;#8212;why? &amp;amp;#8220;Telling you he&amp;amp;#8217;ll call is his misguided way of being polite. Would you rather he said, &amp;amp;#8216;Not interested, don&amp;amp;#8217;t expect a call&amp;amp;#8217;? Or maybe he was into you, but he knows it wouldn&amp;amp;#8217;t work out. Let me clarify: I recently went out with a cool woman and was having a great time. But as the night went on, I realized she was looking for something way more serious than I was. At the end of the date, I made some noises about calling&amp;amp;#8212;but that was the end of that.&amp;amp;#8221; &amp;amp;#8212;Rich Savoie, 29, Boston He went back to his ex when things with me were going really well&amp;amp;#8212;why? &amp;amp;#8220;Most men, believe it or not, have a harder time letting go than women do. Chalk it up to thinking we should be able to fix anything that&amp;amp;#8217;s broken, even a relationship. Also, there&amp;amp;#8217;s the critical three-month milestone to consider, the make-it-or-break-it deadline in a guy&amp;amp;#8217;s mind. We try a new situation out, see if we like it, and then after 12 weeks, if we&amp;amp;#8217;re still thinking about that ex&amp;amp;#8230;you get the idea.&amp;amp;#8221; &amp;amp;#8212;James Britton, 21, Middletown, N.J. He broke up with me by sending an e-mail&amp;amp;#8212;why? &amp;amp;#8220;In case you haven&amp;amp;#8217;t noticed, we will do almost anything to avoid talking about our feelings. Handling relationship business by e-mail means we can get out of the whole breakup conversation. And, hello, women are guilty of this too. That said, it&amp;amp;#8217;s still insulting and thoughtless, and most men won&amp;amp;#8217;t stoop to that level. If he does, forget him&amp;amp;#8212;he&amp;amp;#8217;s a chicken who isn&amp;amp;#8217;t worth your time anyway.&amp;amp;#8221; &amp;amp;#8212;Karl Cineus, 24, Stamford, Conn. When we go out, he never makes the plans&amp;amp;#8212;why? &amp;amp;#8220;There are a couple of reasons. One, guys are lazy&amp;amp;#8212;once we&amp;amp;#8217;re in a solid relationship, we think we don&amp;amp;#8217;t have to work at it anymore. Two, we spend as much time wondering what you want as you do wondering what we&amp;amp;#8217;re thinking. Make it easy on us and just tell us if you want to try a new restaurant, see a specific movie, take a walk in the park or what have you. Please!?&amp;amp;#8221; &amp;amp;#8212;Jamie Diamond, 33, Williams, Ore. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
