I met this guy and a few other people at a concert and all of us have stayed in touch through e-mail and telephone, the friendships have grown huge between all of us, the one difference is one of the guys took a liking to me and we've been getting closer than the rest of the group which is great says everybody else.The problem is we talk on the phone every weekday@7am because of my work schedule and it was fine at first then we agreed that we needed and wanted to talk even on week-ends, so I mentioned that I would have to get a new cell phone with unlimited minutes and said that he should pay half if we're gonna do this! He asked me to give him some Info on this new phone and acted as if he was gonna go half with me to purchase it! It's been over a month now, he's still calling on week-days and has'nt said a word about the phone and just talking and talking like there's nothing wrong,when i try to mention the phone, he jumps to another topic.today I blocked his # from my phone seeya

Sounds like you handled it. Giving him the benefit of the doubt he may not have the money to pay even half of a cell phone bill but if that's the case he should have told you that. Did he actually agree to that deal? Many times, with things like that, the best thing to do is to get everything in writing. Friendship is one thing but business is business.
However, you did exactly what I would've done. If he's just too cheap to help you pay the bill then he doesn't deserve the privilege of using the minutes. Good for you!

No offense, but WHY would you be so quick to believe your 'friend' would pay half of a bill? You know very little about him outside of meeting him at the concert and contacting him through email and whatever he tells you over the phone. It is never smart to arrange to have a bill paid by someone like that unless you can get it written on a contract-and the only way you should have anyone sign into a contract is if you know that they have a record of trustworthiness. it is very clear that since your friend basically is not interested in going half on a bill he said to you he WOULD go half on, then he is not to be trusted, and never should have been trusted to begin with.
I think you think the right thing. Learn from it.

That is the whole point of getting your own cell phone, I mean do you make your mom or your sister pay some money on your cell just for giving you a call. It's not his responsibility. Im sure he has to pay for his own calls to you.. That just dosn't seem right to make him pay.

You shouldn't make his pay for a cell phone. If you want to talk to him, you should be willing to pay for it. He has to pay for his phone too - why should he pay for yours.
He has not brought it up because he thinks it is a silly idea and does not want to go along with it. If you still want to talk to him, go ahead, but you will need to take charge of your own phone.

Let him sweat for a week. Then unblock him and see if he is still trying to get a hold of you.
