[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that men are not as socialized to pick up on non-verbal social cues as women are.  It’s not as important to the social lives of boys to know what’s being said behind their backs as it is to girls.  So, yeah, he doesn’t really think much about what you might be thinking about him without directly expressing it.

That doesn’t mean that he’s a jerk or that he’s selfish.  It just means that you are going to have to verbalize things that would just be understood if the situation was reversed.

Don’t just let this go or make it some kind of comment on his personality.  Tell him that you had nowhere to go after the coffee shop closed and that you are upset.    [/quote]

I think a positive way to see it is that men are more naturally assertive and care less about what other people think, which women can adopt to a certain degree. No man would wander around the streets until 7pm wondering if his girlfriend was done with her meeting, not unless there was some kind of clear plan and agreement that he was going to stay out. He simply would have thought around 4pm “Oh, she probably forgot to text. I’m heading home. NBD if she’s still on the call.” [/quote]
