How come you don't call/send me a message 11292008

In my matriculation through higher education as a communication student I have learned one fundamental principle about communication, albeit verbal or nonverbal, it is transactional. No matter the means, it takes two parties to communicate and they both have equal roles in seeking the other out, taking turns listening/talking, and providing feedback. So it always confounds me when a person that I don't usually talk to or haven't talked to in a while asks, 'why don't you (insert whatever means that is available) me?' or what's even worse, 'you couldn't even speak?' If I wanted to talk to you, in whatever capacity, I am fully aware of how to contact you. The better question to the situation is, why haven't you picked up that hint that I just may not want to talk to you? I am a man of subtlety, taking notice of all intricate details that surround any given situation. I will not boisterously announce my intentions to those that I have no interest in. I know that it may come across as shrewd, but I find beauty more in actions than in words.

If answers are short, direct and you can not evoke any emotion through initial conversation, then there is no true reason to even exchange contact info. This is not a job or corporate setting, if you are in the preliminary stages of courting another, persistence can easily be made out to be annoyed with me, so take the hint.
