"Don't date girls"

The most recent series of advice given to me by my brother is how I shouldn't date girls. This is usually followed by a list of people he deems to be a "girl." I have to say, the past two weeks have been nothing but interesting when it comes to men. A longtime friend who I see for a couple of weeks and then disappears for six months, has started his six month Ashley sabatical again. All I have to say is... delicious.

The next instance is one that I take as less of a joke. No names but this is how it went down.... I was going on dates with a guy pretty frequently. I would say at least once a week. Then, the week before Valentines Day (not that the day matters because I'd rather NOT have a date on that day but I feel it significant to this story) he flat out stops talking to me. Two weeks later, he gives me a call and wants to go on a date. I agreed and then found out I had something else that I didn't have a choice but to go to. I told him the situation and asked to raincheck, saying I would get back to him on when was good. Following this, my world got crazy. And I didn't ever text him back...

Why do I tell this story? Because I JUST realized that it upset him. BUT my opinion is as follows: if you are interested in someone, don't wait half of a month to ask them out again. At least text and say hi or something. By the time he had even gotten around to asking me, I had completely moved on. Maybe, I forgot because my heart wasn't in it the second time around. He lost his chance. Sad thing is that this doesn't bug me in the slightest.
