The bizarre ways of men...

Men puzzle me. I love them, I can't stand them and I categorize them as one entity that follows the same rules. This is admittedly a flaw of mine.
So here are a few questions I have:
1) How is it that in an elevator, a place where NO ONE ever talks, I was asked to lunch by an extremely friendly man who works next door? And how did he know that I was not from Maine the second he met me after accusing me of being "too friendly for Boston" when in fact HE prompted the conversation in the first place? Silly.
2) Why don't all guys know how to moonwalk?
3) THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT AND THIS IS ACTUALLY A POLL A FRIEND OF MINE AND I ARE DOING SO IF YOU ARE A MALE 20-23, PAY ATTENTION AND RESPOND: WHY DO GUYS TELL YOU THEY ARE SO INTO YOU AND THEN STRUGGLE TO TAKE ACTION OR CALL BACK? WHY ARE THEY AFRAID OF US? I know the female praying mantis eats her mate's head off after sex, but aside from a few gals I know, this not normally the case. AND WHY DO WE WANT TO KEEP LOVING THEM EVEN THOUGH WE WANT TO STRANGLE THEM? What is it about the quiet, sheepish remarks of love and affection from them during a heated argument where we accuse them of not caring that pulls us back into the web time and time again?

Mariah's hypothesis: guys DO care. They DO want you in their life and possibly even see a future with you. They are just SO torn between the unsettled, fresh out of school, hardworking bachelor lives they are leading and the one where they have a woman who truly means something to them that will love them completely and support their dreams... and maybe even cook sometimes...except for me. I certainly don't do that. SO they try desperately to keep the poker in the fire, so to speak, in the hopes that dream girl will still be floating around ready to settle when they have worked themselves out and are ready to take the plunge.
