which is more stupid/pointless?

>>16786987
If it's really driving you up a wall, just leave him.

>>16786987

What did you fight about? What does he do that makes him an "asshole?" It's tough to judge the situation without any details.

and it's worth asking, are you male or female? Are you romantically interested in this guy, or do you really want nothing other than friendship?

>>16787101
He flakes on me and ignores me which is shitty, but he can be very cool dude too.

I'm a girl and I want friendship. I want to reach out and fix things but I don't know, wouldn't it make me look needy and spineless

>(even tho I was right and he fucked me over)

i don't think that's what he's thinking right now

>>16787201
Probably not, I guess I'll never know what he thinks because he won't speak with me honestly so I have only my own opinion on that matter

>>16787111

Meh. I do this to my friends sometimes, because sometimes I really am busy with something, or something else comes up after I made a plan. It's not really something to fight about, it happens to me sometimes too, it can be disappointing, but everyone's got their own life. Their lives don't revolve around me, and his life doesn't revolve around you.

You don't really have the right to DEMAND a friend's attention or free time, to the point you feel he did a "bad thing" by ignoring you

So to answer your original question, neither option. You don't need to apologize to him because this isn't a big deal, and you don't need to cut him off completely because this isn't a big deal. Just try to be a little more respectful of his space and time. Needy friends can be suffocating.

>>16787111

OP, this is pretty much just how male friendship works. As >>16787217 said, it's not really uncommon to break a plan or ignore a message when other shit is going on. As long as it's not every time, and as long as everything's cool when you DO have time for each other, you don't really have a right to get mad about it. Male friendship usually doesn't have the element of "obligation" that female friendships often seem to.

This is why they always say it's tough for men and women to be platonic friends. The attitudes and expectations are just different. So you're taking shit personally when he doesn't mean it that way. To him, it's "having other shit to do," to you, it's "ignoring me."

>>16787217
>>16787237
See, I'm trying really hard niot to be petty and clingy. What he did was really rude and upsetting. When someone flakes on me repeatedly, I assume they don't respect and like me; I don't see how I should ride with it just because it's how friendship with guys looks like. I frankly dunno what to do at that point, try to communicate or really let it go.

>>16786987
Just another woman trying to justify their relationship with Chad. Nothing to see here folks. Move along.

>>16787431

Does he flake on you every time you have plans together?

>>16786987
He's not in a relationship with you therefore you are not high on his priority list. Very common. He doesn't owe you anything and it will probably piss him off more if you over react. Sounds like you're trying to act like a SO. I suggest you find one and stop using this guy as your emotional tampon as he'll already being doing that willingly for the woman he actually loves

>>16786987
Ive ditched my best friend just about every time I have a girlfriend. What did you expect? Yeah she's got mad in the past for it but she knows I'll do it again. Like the other guy said you're just not high on his priority list and to be honest you sound like his doormat. Friendships usually fade as you grow up because everyone has their own life and family. It's not his fault or issue that you don't.

>>16787449
>Just another woman trying to justify their relationship with Chad.

He's not a Chad, you salty anon. He's just a flippant dude who probably uses friendship as a cover for using me as his stepping stone.

>>16787714
Pretty much yeah, and he was the one to make these plans in the first place, which is weird. But whatever.

>>16787752
>Sounds like you're trying to act like a SO. I suggest you find one and stop using this guy as your emotional tampon as he'll already being doing that willingly for the woman he actually loves

I really don't act like anything to him; I would say it's the other way around. I don't cry to him about my insecurities or not being in a relationship, whereas he does that almost every time we talk. I don't expect anything from him besides being honest with me and treating me fair. He asks me to hang out than lies and flakes on me; it happens once or twice, I can take it without any comment. But when it happen 7th time I lose my temper and become salty.

And he's to my knowledge single, doesn't have his own family and his life isn't that busy. It's a long story in which he basically acts like he wants to be my friend one minute and then gives me cold shoulder a moment later.

Yeah, I agree, I'm being doormaty here; but the question is, what is the best option out of the situation I'm in right now? I would be fine with no talking no contact policy but we're gonna see each other every day at work soon, and that would be, well, kinda childlish.

>>16787956
>Not chad
>Acts like chad
Sorry honey. Looks like you're in denial.

>>16787956
bruh just keep talking and avoid going out with him, why would it be awkward?
flaky people are the worst, doesnt matter the gender

>>16787962
I always thought Chads are guys with turbulent sex lives, prominent abs, low IQ and shitty attitude. T has only the attitude so he's not a wholesome Chad.

>>16787989
but how? I'm supposedly not talking with the dude. Should I just chat up and pretend nothing happened?

>>16786987
Flakiness is shitty in a friendship. On top of that, it sounds like you place a significance on the friendship that's not the significance he places on it (I thought you were talking about an SO at first). You have things you need in it that just aren't the things he thinks should be in it, and it creates tension when these things clash and cause you hurt. It's not going to change on his end. You have to either pull back and try to accept the casual conversationalist brand of friendship he's willing to provide, or break things off completely.

>>16788034
exactly

>>16788117
wouldn't it be weird?

>>16787993
>Guys he only does the same things that Chad does even though he doesn't look like Chad! I swear he's not!
Lol you're cute when you try and lie to yourself.

>>16788262
stop with this /r9k/tier obsession with Chads, it's not relevant and the only Chad quality I can find in this guy is being flaky, which honestly isn't that uncommon among normal people.

>>16788292
Keep telling yourself that, sweetie. I'm sure he only treats you like shit because he actually likes you and is in reality a great guy. Don't you worry your pretty little head over it.

>>16788304
>>>/r9k/
a cancerous place where you should have stayed. not op and male btw

>>16788333
>Dissenting opinion
>HURRRRR HE MUST GO ON R9K HURRRR
How's it feel being retarded? I think I've been to that board twice and never went back.

>>16788304
Fuck off with sweetie, I'm sure you are a nice guy and all but I didn't make a thread to bicker with you. Go take your riddiculous jealousy and bitterness somewhere else. I understand you feel a very strong need to express your opinion on "Chads" and naive women everywhere you can squeeze it, but it's unnecessary here, you condescending twat.

Because I said it already, I don't want a romantic relationship with him so I don't give a fuck if he's a chad or not as long he treats me fine.

>>16788345
Aw did I hit a nerve? Don't worry, I'm sure your totally not Chad of a boyfriend will fuck away any pain caused by the mean man you met on the Internet! Yeah, that'll show him!

>>16788373
Seriously, what is wrong with you? Why do you keep projecting? Why do you even give a shit whether he's a Chad or not? You gotta move on with your life, dude.

>>16788399
Why do you keep denying it when it's obviously true? I'd suggest you move on too but we both know that's not going to happen. You're too addicted to the abuse to stop. If you fuck him one more time I'm sure he'll fall in love with you!

>>16788427
I hope you do realise you make yourself look more way more pathetic than OP

OP: just talk with him like you would with any other colleague. Don't mention the fight and if he does say you overreacted and apologise and then move on

>>16788471
>More pathetic than OP
Doubt it. OP is pretty damned pathetic.

Maybe he's finding you annoying and and growing less tolerable of your shit. Look at the relationship from his perspective, maybe you're too clingy for a mere friend, or tired of making excessive amount effort being your friend.

>>16788479
Yep, and still less pathetic than you which says something, m8

>>16787956
>I don't cry to him about my insecurities or not being in a relationship, whereas he does that almost every time we talk

he might have some self esteem issues or is simply too lazy to leave his houes in order to meet up. either way you have to decide if youre ok with that and stick or leave depending on what you decide

>>16788499
Lol naw. I'm really not. Keep defending OP, though. I'm sure she'll reward your valiant defense of her with sex.

>>16786987
would bet he is an intj or something as he sounds a lot like me in that if I fight with a friend I just quit talking to them. Forever if need be as my mind is more entertaining than most people but thats besides the point. My thing is though that I have a hard time staying mad because nothing is really importing. So following the time heals all wounds mentality just go and talk and you dont even have to mention whatever happened. Most people will know if they've done wrong so there is no need to point it out but of course if you do he will undoubtedly respond with the "every man is right in his own mind" as a point of honor. Meh then again just say fuck it and if you start talking again great if not who cares.

its why men and women cant be friends

>>16788763
yeah no

Op's problem is that the guy is flaky and being that doesn't depend on sex at all..

>>16786987
Initials OP? sounds kinda like me
