Other times, we stand waiting for the wagon and it never comes.

Now that I have all the analogies out of my system, let's discuss how you know when a dating relationship is dead in the water.
Do you call it when someone can't make for you 4 weekends in a row? Are they really that busy?
Do you call it when their same-sex-outings (a la "girls night") take over prime time Friday AND Saturday? Or are they just a really good, popular friend?
How many days (or weeks) do you let pass without a text/call/face-to-face?
Do texts even count?*
Tell me your thoughts. Tell me your stories. Tell me if you are currently in limbo!
*I had a guy ask me out via text and I kept acting like I didn't know what he was talking about. I certainly did, but text? Really? He finally put in all-caps-texty-shouting "I'M TRYING TO ASK YOU OUT ON A DATE". I told him I got that, but would it kill him to pick up the phone? Apparently it did. The texting tapered off. I called it. Time of death? When all wooing was lost in texty translation.
