Do men forget even if they're honestly interested in you?

I met a guy at my grad school in August. We were friends only, because I had a boyfriend and he never gave me the impressio nthat he was interested. Fast forward to Februrary - I broke up with my ex, and the new guy asked for my number. We went on 1 date and it went very well. Unfortunately my ex came back into the picture, wanting to get back together. I didn't want any part of it, but it caused the new guy to back off and we stopped speaking. May: New guy started contacting me again when he realized I really had no interest in my ex. 2nd date: dinner + movies. He also asked if I wanted somthing serious or was just dating around. When I said serious, he said him too - but that it took him a while to get to a decision about entering a serious relationship. I said that was fine, and we should get to know each other better first anyways. 3rd date: he invited me over to his place to watch movies. I was hesitant for obvious reasons, but he told me bluntly "I'm not trying to invite you over for sex, I just thought it would be nice to stay in. If you're uncomfortable, we can do something else." I decided to trust him, and he was a gentleman. He ordered take out, set out candles on the table, and we kissed and cuddled. He didn't try anything else. Following that date, he was texting me a on a Tuesday saying he was bored, so I said we should go out. He said he was actually in the middle of making dinner and hadn't showered yet, but was thinking we should do something that weekend. I said sure. Well, Friday came and he hadn't said anything so I decided to ask him if we were going out or if I should go ahead with other plans. This conversation followed: Me: By the way, are we going out this weekend? I just want to know so I can figure out my plans Him: Oh. Ummmm...well are you doing anything tomorrow? (Saturday) Since he sounded kind of unenthusiastic, I just said I had plans with my friend. Him: Ok well keep me as a back up if your plans fall thru. We've been seeing each other pretty regularly so we can push it to next week Me: Ok thats fine. I jus ask bc earlier this week you said you wanted to do something Fri/Sat, so I wanted to be sure before I made other plans Him: You're absolutely right. My bad. It woudl be cool to do something but if not it ain't no thing. I'll be around. THAT text with the "it ain't no thing" sort of annoyed me too, so I didn't answer. After two hours, he texted again: Him: Friends? I admitted you were right, lol! And I just responded that yea, sure, we were "friends." Monday: he called me to make plans for tonight and MAYBE Saturday. We went out tonight and at least from my perspective, things went well. He texts me every single day, and calls once in a while. Is it possible that last weekend just slipped his mind? It seems sort of hard to believe because when you're really into someone, you kind of look forward to seeing them...you don't really forget. Right? Also, am I stupid to be bothered by the whole "friends" thing? At this point we've been on 4 dates and have known one another for almost a year. I know we're not official at all or anything, but really...friends?
