I broke off a frienship with a platonic friend after he hurt my feelings, should I ever call him again?
I broke off an eight-month friendships with a platonic guy friend after he hurt my feelings because he refused flowers and could not definitely commit to plans for us to get together on several occasions, should I ever call him again?

It all began when I called him last Friday and informed him I had something for him that I would like to drop by and he indicated that he was out running errands and would check with me later...he never called...Finally, on a Sunday night, I went to visit him to ask him why he did not contact me in response to me dropping by...he indicated that he was sorry and that the night I wanted to come by he was grading papers and fell asleep and said he was busy over the weekend. I told him that this was rude and not respectful since he could of called me on Sunday...I left his place after one hour of talking and when I got home, informed him that I did not want to be his friend anymore that he had hurt my feelings and was stringing me along...

Why do you keep posting the same question over and over? You may be a little obsessive. If you call anyone, make it a psychiatrist.

Well, from your story, he said one thing one day, then another another day, so, for one he lied. If "indicated" doesn't mean " I've got some stuff I gotta do". Of course, if he's a busy, absentminded professor or something, maybe you're reacting a little harshly. On the other hand, maybe, this has happened before, maybe more than once. So. I don't live your life, but maybe the question you should be asking is whether you want to talk to him. If you feel strongly about him, let me tell you from experience, and this is just me, but there is no end to the **** you'll put up with, and you'll talk to him, because you care about him. Or you won't. And why did you give him flowers? What? When girls bring me flowers, I always accept. Or... Maybe he wants more from you than you want to give, and he's acting this way because he's angry, hurt, frustrated...

Ouch! I understand that your feelings are hurt but you might have been a bit too harsh. I am realizing from experience that a lot of guys are not always in tune with a woman's feelings. They usually have no clue. He could have very well honestly forgot if he was busy and tired from working. Let me ask you this... you are friends with him so judging from how well you know him, do you really think that he would lie to you? I do not know him personality so of course I do not know the whole situation. I just know from my experience that men and women think differently. A lot of times men hurt women's feelings unintentionally by just being... well... by just being men! If he is not a big liar and he seemed sincere about it, then you should cut him a break and give him a chance, especially if you care about him. If he really is a jerk, then do not talk to him again. I guess that is all I can tell ya.
