Hahaha - really, I promise you I'm not
. I actually despise talking on the phone for more than a few minutes, and it's almost always to setup plans to get together either that night or at some point in the future. I'm also definitely not the "c'mon, stop being a baby, let's go out, do your stuff later, etc. etc." kind of guy, since I really don't like that guy either :P.
Also, the people I'm referring to (and I can only think of 2 of my friends that do it) do this to ALL of our friends.
I'll admit to sometimes not answering my phone if someone is calling to try and drag me out that night when either a) I've already said no, or b) they will give unneccessary pressure. Even in these circumstances though, I'll probably text back later and say "sorry I missed your call, I'm free Wed afternoon want to grab lunch?" or something like that.
Here's another example of what I'm talking about - one of my friends called me up on Wednesday evening and I was in the middle of something w/ someone else - I answered, told them I was busy and that I'd call them back. 2 hours later I call back and no answer... I leave a VM, no callback. I call the next day, same thing, I leave a VM. They email me later saying they want to get together Friday... I call to setup plans, no answer, leave a VM, no callback. Then I get a call today from them apologizing, saying they ended up being busy. Being busy is fine, but IMO it's a huge flake move to not at least get back to the person, say before Friday. I would never, ever do this to someone and expect the same courtesy.
And to all of you who responded saying you are also flakes - wtf guys! How hard is it to call someone back? Honestly.
