Hi Marcus,

The first time your girl canceled your date, you should have known it was over. A broken date means it's time to quit, bro.

Guys have been jerked around so much by women in their dating lives that they've forgotten how women with high Interest Level behave - this is why they accept broken dates as a normal fact of life. If men would only think back on the number of dates they have broken with the women they were interested in (zero), they wouldn't keep calling back the women who repeatedly kick them in the teeth!

In case you've forgotten what a woman with high Interest Level is like, Marcus, let me give you her profile.

When a woman truly likes a guy: she gives her home phone number without hesitation, she's always there to take his call when he phones her, she accepts invitations without excuses and above all - she never break dates. In other words, a woman with high Interest Level is straightforward.

In contrast, women with low Interest Level give mixed signals. They may give you their phone number, but they will tell you that sometimes the phone doesn't work. They may tell you how much they want to see you, but when you call them, they never seem to be home. Or, if you are lucky enough to get them on the phone, they always have a busy schedule. Then - if you somehow manage to get a date, something always seems to come up to prevent you from meeting. This last scenario describes yours, Marcus.

The moment this girl canceled your second date over your answering machine (rejecting you to a machine instead of to your face - what a classy lady!), it was clear that she was ineligible for your time. In spite of her cajoling words and the token lunch date she gave you, her broken date betrayed the lack of desire in her heart.

Women with low Interest Level are consistent only about one thing: breaking dates. This fact should make your course of action obvious: If woman breaks a date, tear up her phone number and flush it down the toilet.

Using this strategy, Marcus, can help you quickly cut through the confusion arising from a woman's mixed signals. If you had used this tactic on your girl, there would have been no need to talk her into seeing you instead of her ex-boyfriend (By the way, if she had liked you, she would have forgotten all about him.).

Of course, it's possible - though extremely rare - for a woman to have a genuine emergency on the night of your date. But in these cases, she would call only to change the day and time of the date - not to cancel it completely.

Guys, staying with a girl after a broken date is pure masochism. When you don't call after a broken date, at least you can save your self-respect. Women with low Interest Level may repeatedly tell you how interested they are, but as my cousin Fast Eddie Love would say, "Words whisper, but actions scream."
