Many are indirect. This is a disturbing habit I that find in my circle. For some reason they learned it is better to tell a temporary lie than tell the truth. One former friend said that she does it to keep the peace. You noticed I said former friend. When told that she does that to others, I cannot know when she does it.
As you do, always have a back up plan. I learned to double check. We can depend on ourselves or contact a paid service provider. Pay them and there will be no emotional entanglement.

Re: BC-A,
We are all trying to get our needs met... but there are ways of doing that, that respect other's needs, too. I suppose he is working up to that bit. I intend to give him a boost in the very near future.

Re: Annicita,
Happily, this isn't the guy who is boarding with me. And never will be. He has Issues. But comes a time, they have to stop being Excuses.

óThere are factors in choosing a date. In example, a woman might need a guy that owns a car and drives it. Coldly it’s killing two birds with one stone. However, I guess that’s life love. BC-A, Bill’s R®st

He's either very irresponsible, or very absent-minded . . . or both! And perhaps you can throw undependable into the mix as well. But it's okay . . . his age is his excuse!

it doesn't matter his age...he is old enough to know the difference in right and wrong....being responsible or irresponsible...caring or indifferent....he needs a

Re: Pat,
Yes, passive agressive sounds about right... "I forget things... your things." Yeah... if you forget things chronically, why are you still using it as an excuse instead of fixing the problem? He is not young enough to be cute, or excused. He is so self-absorbed, I don't think other people or their problems are at all real to him.

Passive aggressive? Sounds like it to me.
Unreliable. Disappointing. I don't know why I'm so ticked off about this guy.
