HOW MEN THINK

So, Why Didn't He Call? [EXPERT]

So, Why Didn't He Call? [EXPERT]

From a man’s point of view, women get really jazzed up very easily.

From a man’s point of view, women get really jazzed up very easily. They go out on a date — a date with a guy they think is so fantastic — and then after the date all they can do is think about him and what a great time they had. They sit back and wait for him to call again. They start wondering why he didn’t call. And of course because they’re wondering and waiting, it seems like it’s taking even longer.

Study: A Man's Laziness Doesn't Mean He Loves You Any Less

That he's great at romance but is slow to help with housework doesn't reflect his feelings for you.

In a new relationship, every kiss or cuddle is appreciated, cooed over, and dissected with girlfriends over brunch. But as time wears on, many of us begin to take small romantic gestures for granted, and instead focus on whether or not our partner is capable of ongoing thoughtful behavior. Does he call back when he said he would? Does he do household chores without being nagged? Does he put the toilet seat down? And if he doesn't, why not? "It's not that much effort!" we think. "Wouldn't he make it a priority to do those things if he really loved me?" Apparently, in some cases, the answer is "No."
