The lamest, most abused excuse in the history of dating: “I’m sorry, I have been very busy.” As far as excuses for not putting in any effort in a relationship and not meeting the other persons expectations go, this one is quite pathetic. So they’re so busy that they couldn’t find one minute in their day to pick up the phone send a text message?
We are fortunate enough to have numerous gadgets at our disposal to communicate with anyone all over the globe in a fraction of a second. If a person is interested in talking to you, they WILL talk to you. No one in this whole world is too busy to send a text message.
I don’t buy busy. I hate to bust your bubble but no one is THAT busy. Absolutely no one. I’m not disputing that being busy is a very real experience. Yes, we have hectic schedules and social obligations but do not insult a woman’s intelligence by telling her you were so busy you could not return a text. People text while at work, in the toilet, in the shower, in class, while in line at the bank — literally anywhere and everywhere!
Guess what? We also work 12 hours a day and are also plagued by this hectic adult world, but we know our priorities and we don’t let our hectic jobs get in the way of progress in our relationships. I know it is hard to believe but it is possible to be a busy career person and a decent human being at the same time.
Don’t buy into his “super busy” excuse. People build companies from the ground up, study for their PhDs and manage fast track careers while still creating time to hang out with and talk to their significant others. Do not let a man put you in those limbo dating situations where he says you’re dating but is always too busy to hang out or talk on the phone.
These men butter you up early on by telling you they are always “insanely busy” and they “suck at texting”. They never make solid plans with you and will only contact you when it is convenient for them.
Don’t accept when someone tells you he or she is too busy. A hectic calendar is not an excuse to be a flake. We choose to or not to make time for people in our lives. It is as simple as that. Stop making excuses for him and stop holding out hope that one day he will come around. How long are you going to stay in his queue? The truth is, he is not that into you. He doesn’t like you. End of discussion. Move on.
He is feeding you the lame “too busy” excuse to manage down your expectations or it is a passive aggressive message telling that he wants out or that things are casual. Find someone who is as crazy about you as you are them. You deserve someone who is going to eagerly ask you out and who is enthusiastic about your next date. Rejection is better than weeks of useless persuasion.
A clear rejection is always better than a fake promise.
