What do men want?

Ok. I've come to the conclusion that S. is simply a serial texter. It doesn't matter how much I flirt or hint, or even come right out and say, "when are we going to go out?" he just doesn't get it and won't ask me out, or respond in the affirmative when I've said as much. So, I've decided that I will respond to his texts, but I'm not going to initiate them, or actively pursue him.

As Justin Long's character in "He's just not that into you" says, 'if a guy wants to be with you, he will make it happen.

And as far as C, he wanted to get together last weekend, when I had first gotten back, but I told him that I needed to hook up with my mom and was taking my grandmom to 'Valentine's Day' on V-day. I suggested this weekend, but I haven't heard from him. He's a really nice guy. But there just aren't any sparks there. And I'm not sure I want to invest my time and get attached if I'm not 100% sure. I think if I have this much doubt about the possibility of long term, then it won't work out.

So all of this makes me wonder if I am ever going to find someone to spend the rest of my life with. I'm getting up there, and I definately think that the clock is running out. I had told my ex that he was my last chance for happily-ever-after. I'm starting to fear that that might have been right.

And then, to add to the confusion, is S from Illinois. He's coming back out, driving this time. Why would had spend all this time (three weekends) and money (plane fare and gas) to come see me? The first time, with the free plane ticket, a long distance booty call is justified. But a second? and a third? And he'll never admit to feelings. And he can be very crass and mean. So, I'm just confused as to what he wants, ultimately.

In any case . . .
