QUestion for the men on this board

[Aurora63]

After you get a phone number from a woman, how long does it take to make the call? I am talking before the first date.

 

[L107ANGEL]

How about you get the number from him

I did! But I think he should call me first. I'll give him a week.

 

[mikehn]

If you all are adults (as opposed to teenagers) a week seems a little long. If it takes me a week to pick up the phone, Im pretty much not interested.

 

[iggbees]

why wait for him to call? if you liked him call him tomorrow or the next day and set up another date. if i waited to have my boyfriend ask me out first, i wouldn't be with him now (and for 4.5 years, might i add!).

i mean, unless you didn't think he liked you or showed any interest in you, then why wait? you know?

 

[monkeyboy]

hmmmm depends


usually 72 hours is the man rule (if intrested)
or
24 hours for a booty call

We haven't been out yet, but he is the one who asked me for my number...I'm pretty sure that means he's interested. Right??

I think you are right, though. Maybe I will go ahead and call him tomorrow.

 

[monkeyboy]

Maybe I will go ahead and call him tomorrow.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO


let him call ball is in his court

 

[Aurora63]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO


let him call ball is in his court

OOOOOKKKAAAAAAAYYYYYY!

 

[Cantw8]

I hate games....If the guy likes you, he should call right away....if you like him, you shouldn't hesitate to call him You will be able to tell right away whether that was a bad decision or not

i mean, you could wait a day and if he doesn't call then call him the next day. i just don't see the point in waiting for a guy to call if you think you like him and want to see him. it's not really like you're overly anxious if you wait a day or so. i can't imagine that he'd be turned off if you called him, but i guess it depends on the guy?

good luck with it!

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

the ball isn't really in his court though, because he also gave her his number. so either one of them could call each other and if she waited for him to call he might be waiting for her to call. then nobody calls and it stops there. you know?

 

[Dizneyfan4life]

i think if the guy likes you he will call pretty soon if not there is nothing wrong with you calling him

 

[pr surfer]

3 day rule.

Anything less and you seem desperate. Anything more, and it's just weird.

 

[kellyg403]

I would wait a couple days and see if he calls, if not I would call and just say hi and touching base etc.

I think if a guy doesn't call in a few days, he isn't interested but at the same time he DID ask for YOUR number.

I can only go by DH and I, when we first met.

We met at a friend's house on a Saturday night.

He called said friend on Sunday to get my phone #, which said friend provided, and then immediately notified me that he had my phone #.

He called Monday evening. I was out.

He called Tuesday evening. I was working.

He called Wednesday evening. I was working again.

I called him Thursday AM at work, and we went out to lunch that day.

As we parted from lunch, he asked me out for Friday evening.

As we parted from Friday evening, he asked me out for Saturday evening.

And so on.

I am of the opinion that if a gentleman is interested in seeing you again, he will make his interest known within 2-3 days of meeting you.

I never called guys until I was pretty sure there was mutual interest, meaning that for the first few weeks of the relationship, I pretty much let him lead in terms of calling. I would certainly return calls if he called and I missed him, but I would not initiate a call to express my interest in him.

I guess I am old-fashioned in that respect.

 

[DizneeMommy]

Met DH on Friday night at a friend's house.
Both of us "showed up" at the same function the next night and he asked for my number.
He called Sunday afternoon.
The rest is history!

 

[bicker]

I did! But I think he should call me first.

I'd personally be turned off by a woman who was so traditional in perspective. By the same token, you should be turned off by a guy who would be turned off by a woman who was so traditional in perspective, so that works out well for everyone.

 

[declansdad]

Sorry, I don't ever call. My wife doesn't approve.

 

[John Smith1]

Depends. If I really like her I call the next day.

 

[dnoyes]

Give the guy a couple days and if he doesn't call send him a text (if you have his cell #) some guys are just a little shy and may need a little push.
