He's Just Not THAT Into You

One of my good friends, WW recently moved back to the country, and is seeking jobs in the city, so that she can be close to her bf. Meanwhile, she is living with her parents, who live several states away, approximately 8 hours away from where her bf is (her bf lives a stone's throw away from me).

Whenever she is in town for interviews, she bunks in with her friend, who lives alone and work very long hours. While we are all at work, most of the time she just hangs about at the apartment, waiting for her dear bf, to come over after work.

The problem is this. He's not usually keen on meeting up with her - he's either working late, or has dinner plans with his parents (he lives with them). You would think that being in a long distance relationship, he would grab every opportunity to see her. There've been many times when she arrived in the morning, attended her interview, chilled about at the friend's apartment, made plans with friends, and all of a sudden, changed her mind and took the next bus home. Without seeing her bf whom she had not seen for weeks.

There have been days when she rejects all dinner invitations, prefering to wait for her bf to finish work (which I totally understand), unfortunately there have been more than one occasions when her bf claimed exhaustion and canceled their dinner dates. And she was left to eat stale bread at 10pm.

Anyway, next week she has another interview. In the same organisation where I work. I called her asking her to schedule the interview around 3-4pm, so that we can leave the office together. I wanted to make sure she has dinner in the event that he doesn't see her and if he does, then he can just pick her up from wherever we're at. A guaranteed meal in her stomach instead of stale bread.

Her response was: "Err... the day of the interview is his mother's birthday, so I don't think he will have time to see me at all. So there's no need to meet up la..."

I was stunned. I realised that she's telling me that she will meet up with me only if there's a chance she will get to see her bf.

Maybe she just likes eating stale bread.
