Why Do Some Guys Ask For Your Number But Don't Call?

This is one mystery I've never been able to solve. It never ceases to amaze me. I'm sure many Nairaland girls can relate to what I'm saying here.

Why is it that so many men ask for your number, then never use it? Is this a game to them? Something along the lines of how many women can they get to hand over their number. The more numbers, the larger their egos can grow.

If this is a game, it isn't very fun for the gals. I seem to think that it is because men and women are from different planets. Something along the lines of women having strong emotions and men needing to learn what emotions are. Guys, you don't have to ask for our number if it is only because you think it is the right thing to do. The right thing to do is ask for our number if you want to use it to get to know us better. If you are not going to call, don't ask for my number!

@ hot-angel...yes now...am goin for deliverance..u dunno my church...M.F.M( MOUNTAIN OF FIRE)....I seriously dnt think it warrants me goin for deliverance...but u ant argue with my mum...

and ps:never picure me in a thong..its for ur own good.


@ajsalako..well maybe sum people wear thongs to inspire lust or watever..but m not one of those people..i dont let it all out so the world can see...i think thats really tasteless...like i said i hate V.P.L...thats all.my mum is just makin a big fuss.

should i appeal?

culled from my blog www.xanga.com/exschoolnerd

so recently i was parading about in my room in ma thong..with my small ikebe .....feeling all sexy and all...then my mum walks in on me...see's me wearing a thong.and throws a fit..calls my dad and reports 2 him...that am changing into some wayward lil slut.and my dad accuses me of practicin 'harlotry' in his house...bwahahahaha..Lord help me!!!...so am goin for deliverance with my mum when i get back to lagos before my next session in school starts...

okay so i just tot twas a tad bit funny to b makin a fuss over a thong...so i cooked up a funny trial in my head and thought i'd share it with you all..some of the law terms used might not be correct..because m not that conversant with them..its just what ive picked up from my couch potatoe days of watching court drama's on t.v.so bear with me..hear it goes..



******************************************************************

laide olabode your under arrest for having in possesion some items which seem displeasing to the plaintiff..and for practicn 'harlotry in a house of God...anything u say or do would be used against u in the court of 'daddy'...

[b]mrs lawson:your honour i'd like to call LAIDE to the stand.

(do u miss laide.swear to tell the truth...the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help u God)

Laide:i do

mrs lawson:mrs laide isnt it true that on the 29th of august u were caught by the plaintiff...your mother...prancing about in an item that u were well aware that she dissaproved of.

laide: a thong

(a loud awww...is heard in the court)....

mrs lawson:prior to that fateful day u were caught..were u known to wear thongs

laide:[/b]i wasnt known to wear them..but i did
[b]
mrs lawson:isnt it because uve totally become a way-ward girl...and all uv been doin is purposely to annoy your mother.

laide:no it isnt and i think my mother should get over herself(and i mean no disrespect)
..everything i do is not to scorn her.

(MR DEEDS CROSS EXAMINES LAIDE)

mr deeds:mrs laide isnt it true that u were made to waer thongs because u despised 'VPL'
VPL...meaning visible panty line.

mrs laide:thats very true

mr deeds:because of the way dose full socks cut your ass in half and made it seem like u had 4 different asses...therby makin u the butt of all jokes(NO PUN INTENDED)

laide:none taken...yes thats true i cudnt take the ridicule anymore..ao i opted for 'VPL' FREE SOLUTION-THONGS.

mrs deeds:[/b]u indeed had no intentions of practicing harlotry..as u wer accused of...and weren't aware that your wearing of thongs would anger the plaintiff being..mrs olabode.

[b]laide:[/b]yes that is very true..
[b]
Mr deeds: did mrs olabode ever tell u not to wear thongs,did she ever express her disdain for thongs infront of u?

laide:no she never did.

Mr deeds:and i presume u don't have any psychic powers to know what shes thinkin

mrs lawson:objection!

mr deeds:am through.

court is adjourned till tomorrow.

the next day....

mrs lawson:isnt it true that on several occasions u made statements about purchasing g-strings and u were rebuked by mrs olabode

laide:[/b]i don't recall

[b]mrs lawson:u don't recall..u don't recall watching a movie with mrs olabode and seeing a woman wearing a thong and voicing your interest init..and mrs olabode strongly warned u against it.

laide:[/b]i don't believe there ever was such a day like that.
[b]
mrs lawson:ms laide i hope u know your under oath.

laide:[/b]am very much aware.

[b]mrs lawson:then can u please tell the court y u refused to let your mum know ud started wearing thongs if u werent scared of the repercussion.

laide:....bwhahahaha...sorry...am 19 years old for crissakes.not friggin 5..goin on 6.i shud be able to buy what i want witout running to mommy dear.

mrs lawson:isnt it because u knew hw much she hated it

laide:no i dint

mrs lawson:but u still went on to purchase it..didnt u...because of your love for 'harlotry'..and because u find pleasure in making your mother angry...

laide[/b]crying)..no no no.i admit it..i had a feeling in my mind that she might have some reservatns about it.but it was for a good cause...ive been suffering with VPL...for a while now and it was too much to bear...

the court wil go on 30mins recess willthe jury deliberate on the verdict.

30mins later....

Ready Or Not, Here I Come, You Can't Hide
Gonna Find You and Take it Slowly
Ready Or Not, Here I Come, You Can't Hide
Gonna Find You and Make you want me.

[CLEF:]
Now that I escape, sleepwalker awake
Those who could relate know the world ain't cake
Jail bars ain't golden gates
Those who fake, they break,
When they meet their 400 pound mate
If I could rule the world
Everyone would have a gun in the ghetto of course
When giddyupin' on their horse
I Kick a rhyme drinkin' moonshine
I pour a sip on the concrete, for the deceased
But no don't weep, Wyclef's in a state of sleep
Thinkin' 'bout the robbery that I did last week.
Money in the bag, banker looked like a drag
I want to play with pelicans from here to Baghdad
Gun blast, think fast, I think I'm hit
My girl pinched my hips to see if I still exist.
I think not, I'll send a letter to my friends,
A born again hooligan only to be king again.









and being a huge rap fan..i also love tupac's 'dear momma'


Lady...
Don't cha know we love ya? Sweet lady
Dear mama
Place no one above ya, sweet lady
You are appreciated
Don't cha know we love ya?

[second and third chorus, "And dear mama" instead of "Dear mama"]

[Verse Two: 2Pac]

Now ain't nobody tell us it was fair
No love from my daddy cause the coward wasn't there
He passed away and I didn't cry, cause my anger
wouldn't let me feel for a stranger
They say I'm wrong and I'm heartless, but all along
I was lookin for a father he was gone
I hung around with the Thugs, and even though they sold drugs
They showed a young brother love
I moved out and started really hangin
I needed money of my own so I started slangin
I ain't guilty cause, even though I sell rocks
It feels good puttin money in your mailbox
I love payin rent when the rent's due
I hope ya got the diamond necklace that I sent to you
Cause when I was low you was there for me
And never left me alone because you cared for me
And I could see you comin home after work late
You're in the kitchen tryin to fix us a hot plate
Ya just workin with the scraps you was given
And mama made miracles every Thanksgivin
But now the road got rough, you're alone
You're tryin to raise two bad kids on your own
And there's no way I can pay you back
But my plan is to show you that I understand
You are appreciated









'SUMMER TIME' BY WILL SMITH

[Chorus:]
Summer, summer, summertime
Time to sit back and unwind

[The Fresh Prince:]
Here it is the groove slightly transformed
Just a bit of a break from the norm
Just a little somethin' to break the monotony
Of all that hardcore dance that has gotten to be
A little bit out of control it's cool to dance
But what about the groove that soothes that moves romance
Give me a soft subtle mix
And if ain't broke then don't try to fix it
And think of the summers of the past
Adjust the base and let the alpine blast
Pop in my CD and let me run a rhyme
And put your car on cruise and lay back cause this is summertime

GABRIELLE 'DREAMS'


[Chorus:]
Dreams can come true
Look at me babe I'm with you
You know you gotta have hope
You know you gotta be strong

Dreams can come true
Look at me babe I'm with you
You know you gotta have hope
You know you gotta be strong

Moutain of fire miracle ministries (M.F.M)

I need some info about some songs. If you have any idea who sang them please let me know. I know a couple of them, but i just can't remember. Thanks in advance.

Song One: Who did this song? In what year? What was the title of the album?

i don't really need to look very much further
i don't want to have to go where you don't follow
i don't want to have to ,change this passion inside and run from myself
there's nowhere to hi..i..i...ide

don't make me cry one more note,
i don't want to hurt anymore
stay in my arms if u there or must i imagine u here,
don't walk away from me,
i have nothing, nothing ,nothi.ing if i don't have u.

Song Two: . Who did this song?

Let's take a walk together near the ocean shore
hand in hand u and i
lets cherish every moment we have have been given
time is passing by
i often pray befor i lay down by your side
And if u recieve your calling before i awake
will i make through the night?

Cherish the lov we have
We should cherish the life we live oh oh
Cherish the love, cherish the life, cherish the lov oh oh oh oh......

Song Three: and this one?

From this moment, life has begun for me
From this moment, i'll always lov u
Here beside you, right in your arms
From this moment on.......

Song 4:

Look how we made it
Look how far we've come my baby
Mighty been a long way
but we .....(forgotten wot was is here)...
They say, out there, we'll never make it
But just look at us going strong
We still together,
still going on,
You the one..

You the one i run to
the only one i turn to
You the one i want for life (u d one).........

Song 5: finally.

[[center]Number One"
(feat. Kanye West)

Ooh I promise not to do it again
I promise not to do it

You can't say I don't love you
Just because I cheat on you
Cuz you can't see all I do
To keep you from knowing the things I do
Like erase my phone
And keep it out of town
I keep it strapped up when I sleep around
Well I should have known one day you'd find out
But you can't go and leave me now

You know that I love you
There's no one above you
I said it the last time
But this is the last time
Don't make me over
Cuz I can be faithful
Baby you're my number one
You're my number one

Now who is she?
What's her name?
You don't need to know about everything
We fight about this
We fight about that
You hang up the phone and call me right back
Well I'll never be something I'm not
Please don't throw away what we've got
Cuz we've been together for way too long
I was playing around but I'm coming home

You know that I love you (know that I love you)
There's no one above you (no one above you)
I said it the last time (hey, hey)
But this is the last time
Don't make me over (don't leave me baby)
Cuz I can be faithful (you know I try)
Baby you're my number one (baby)
You're my number one

[Kanye's Rap]
I keep you laced up so you aint gotta borrow nothing
From them broke ass friends who be bargain hunting
They say they shop on eBay --baby why is they frontin'?
They be on the internet but they never cop nothin'
I keep you in Girl what is those on your toes?
And your neck staying froze off that rose colored gold
I suppose you was told by them hoes I was cheatin'
Thinkin' my heart don't got nothing to do with my penis
He got a mind of his own and he just be seeing shit
And I don't wanna cheat but I don't be saying shit
I try to jack off he ask me who is you playin' wit?
But I know he love you he told me you was his favorite

You know that I love you (know that I love you)
There's no one above you (above you)
I said it the last time (said it the last time)
But this is the last time (hey hey hey yeah)
Don't make me over (don't leave me baby)
Cuz I can be faithful (you know I try)
Baby you're my number one (oh baby)
You're my number one

You're making it hard for me
You're messing up everything
You tell me I gotta leave
Say we over
You saw that she came over
Came in the Range Rover
Left with a hangover
Say we over

I promise I won't cheat
I promise I won't lie
I promise I'll act right
Say we over
You can't tell me
I can't have you
I can't have that
We aint over

Hey, it aint over baby
We aint over
Oh you don't need to go it's not over
We aint over
Oh...
We aint over
Oh it's gonna be alright now don't go now[/center]

@hot-angel......y ellen degeneres....m just curious.

You know the guys that send you cryptic messages when what they really want to do is break up with you. Rather than just saying it, they come up with a line which is not meant to hurt your feelings, but makes you feel
worse when you really know what they are saying?

The ultimate best line is, "It's not you, it's me." They actually do mean it is you. It is never them.

Then there is the, "I need a break. Some space and time for myself." The message is actually, " You are smothering me. I don't want to be with you.
I'd rather be single."

Another doozy would have to be, "I have a really busy schedule right now and a complicated life at the moment." Why doesn't he just admit that you are not the only woman he is seeing and juggling them all is just getting to be too much? He is feeling the need to narrow down the women in his life and you are not on the finals list.

How about, "I need to spend more time with my friends and go back to having my guys nights out." Obviously he would rather get drunk with a bunch of foolish, single men, than to spend a romantic evening with you. Good riddance to him.

A real put down is, " I think of you as a sister." How lame is that? Why did he ask you out in the first place? Does he actually have an incestuous bone in his body?

The final piste resistance must be, "I'm no longer attracted to you as I once was." How about just coming right out and telling us that they had no idea why they went out with us in the first place?

Men, just come right out and tell us what you really mean so that we are not forced to read between the lines. It will save every one from a lot of torture.

false..

tbpm has got pms!!

@klex....ur cracking me up!

here r a couple i know....

i can't shout - theres only so much i can do or m not going to stress myself

free me- quit bugging

hold yansh - jeans

opats- gibberish

na beans,na yam,na chips, na moi moi 4 mcdonalds- yeah right!

jd-london

expo- illegaly gotten answers to exams

the co co- the main thing

parol - activity

Abeg make u put me down jare ,i no wear pant - leave me alone

its long but worth reading..if u really want to know what we want.

to be appreciated

1) We want a man that's protective. But only when we want to be protected. Usually when we ask. Mostly when we don't. Don't try to fight every guy that makes a rude comment or insults us. We can usually stick up for ourselves and fight our own battles. If things get out of hand we'll ask for back-up.

2) Sex doesn't have to be a marathon affair. We get sore after a while and while you are trying to hold back from coming, we are wishing you would just climax already. Listen to what our bodies are saying and go with it. We don't have the stop watch out.

3) We want men to take us out on "real" dates. We want to be asked a few days ahead of time. We want the evening planned with activities we'd enjoy.. We want you to pay for dinner. We'll offer to pay. Don't jump on the offer before the words have finished coming out of our mouths. However, if we insist - offer to split costs. If we ask you out, we expect and plan to pay. Of course we also expect you to try to pick up the check. We may not let you. Think of it as a test.

4) not looking for input or advice from you. That's what girlfriends are for. We just want you to listen. You need to pay attention though. If we do ask a question or for advice you need to have been following along. "What did you say" is not an optional response from you at this time. When you do answer - don't be logical. When we complain we really hate logic. Just sympathize and agree. Or say nothing at all. It's the safest bet.

5) We want our men to be men. We're turned off by the overly macho-man without a brain. We're turned off by the overly sensitive guy that cries at movies. Real men don't shed tears. At least not in front of us. I know we want you to have feelings and be emotional. Just not around us. Unless there's a really good reason. The reason must include a funeral.

6) We want our men to know manly things. You should be able to at least change the oil in a car and do simple household repairs. We may take pride in knowing how to do these things ourselves. If we do - don't act surprised, act impressed. We like knowing manly things too. Either because we're genuinely interested or because it makes it easier to talk to you.



7. We want men that are honest and dependable. We want to be able to count on you. Don’t make plans to go out with us if you know you’re going to cancel. Don’t tell us what you think we want to hear instead of the truth. Yes - me may get angry at some things that you say or do. Yes, our feelings may be hurt that you had already made plans with the guys on Saturday night instead of leaving it open for us. Along with dependability is courtesy. If you’re running late - call and let us know, realistically, how late you’ll be. Don’t say you’ll be there in 5 minutes when you know it will be more like an hour. This is not so that we can “check up” on you. We’re not making you accountable for every minute not spent with us. We are natural worriers. It’s just the polite thing to do.
Honesty is a given. Don’t lie, exaggerate, tell half truths, etc. We want to be able to believe in you and what you tell us. Again - don’t tell us what you think we want to hear. Especially when it comes to us and our relationship. Honesty really is the best policy.




8. For a guy to be faithful. It is okay to look and to even admire other women, just don't touch their merchandise. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. If you wouldn't want us to mess around with another guy, don't mess around with other women (or men if you are so inclined)

there u have it.

i think it shud be 'why do good girls fall for the wrong guys'

it’s because you believe you can change the wrong guy…that you can make a bad guy good by showering him with all the love you can muster…that eventually, that “pathetic little excuse for a human being” will become the gentleman you want him to be if you can only love him enough and be patient enough. Armed with this belief, you go ahead and plunge yourself to the relationship only to realize that in the end, the gentleman you loved is still pathetic.

i'd say come back!!!

wwyd if i told u i was marilyn monroe in another life.
