Am I a Bad Judge of Character?...
Recently I made a bad judge of character. It was on a guy I've known for a while through my sons cub scout pack. I thought he was the nicest guy. I really did. So I thought I'd set him up with my good friend. They talked first and then set up a date to meet. This guy was all over the chance to meet her. I don't understand. They exchanged phone conversations for a week. He was already saying all these sweet things and talking of the future. (probably the first bad sign) We all met on Sat. night for drinks and had planned to go to the movies after. Everything seemed fine, they seemed to like each other. After the movie we went our separate ways. Later, my friend said that she had thought he was cute and that he really did seem nice although he was kinda shy. She said he wasn't like he was on the phone. (second sign) The next day he had made previous plans with her to help her move something. He never called and never showed up. What up? She tried to call, but he did not answer. She tried again later in the day, but he still did not answer. She left a message saying she was concerned. No reply. Two days later she e-mailed him and he wrote back saying she had no right to judge him. Huh?... He later called her and gave no explanation or apologies. He was angry and made it seem as though she had done something wrong.(double take)She hasn't heard from him since.(thank God)But it still hurt her pretty bad. I mean if he didn't like the way she looked all he had to do was say he didn't feel a connection or something. Be a man for goodness sake! But here in lies the problem-I think she blames me a little and not only that I blame myself. How could I make such a bad judge of character?
