Maria and I were becoming friends, or so I thought. We were talking, getting to know each other. I asked for her email address and sent her an email the same evening. She didn't reply and was absent later at Catalan class two days later. The following week I spoke to her and she told me that she hadn't received my email and didn't know why.
I sent her another email from my alternate yahoo account, but she still hadn't received it. I offered to give her my telephone number but she asked for my email. I wrote it, all in caps and it has now been since monday and she hasn't sent me a message. i asked her to in a polite manner, as I have always spoken to her, and yet, she's remained silent.
The truth is that this woman, Maria, a nurse in training, lied to me, something I would never expect from a woman whose civic duty is to care for others and be honest. Why, has this rather shocking event happened? I was nothing but kind and open to Maria. I treated her with respect and interest and she responds like this?
I realize you're not upset with her rejecting you - You're upset because she's being dishonest.
Dishonesty used to piss me off more than anything but then I realized that many upon many people are far too weak to be able to tell the truth.
It is to try once or twice with no expectations and be invitational with everyone you meet.
The one that will work out will be the one who is honest with their feelings and honest enough to not be afraid to call and ask why they haven't heard from you.
It takes somewhat of an aggressive personality to bluntly let someone down.
That's why care givers tend to usually be shy.
