"I love you"

10:15pm
Me: Hi, just finished dinner with Bank of ____ officer.
Him: Oh, ok...I'm at the shop, clearing the accounts.
Me: Is everything ok?
Him: It's like looking for a needle in a haystack...Listen, can I call you back later?
Me: Ok, bye...
Him: (Click)

11:05pm
Me: Hi, you still at the shop?
Him: Yeah, eh...sorry I forgot to call you.
Me: Am I disturbing?
Him: No, no, no...Uhm...I need to clear the accounts by tonight.
Me: Ok, goodnite, bye!
Him: You're not mad at me, are you?
Me: No.
Him: Ok...I love you.
Me: Alright, 'nite. (Click)

I think that some men, use the words 'I LOVE YOU' as a ticket to get them out of trouble. I'm sure he knew that I wasn't too happy about it. Especially when the day before, he calls up and asks why is it that I don't call him, why is it that he hasn't heard from me the whole day, etc...Of course I did tell him straight in the face that everytime I call, he's always busy and doesn't have time for me. Case in point, the converstion above.

I guess saying "I love you" has become a tool, or somewhat of a commodity/leverage. By saying those 3 words, the man hopes to make everything alright. Sounds simple enough. If you're dealing with a simple woman...In which case, I'm not.

Anyway, I'm too old to make a big fuss about this one so I'll just let it slide...
