Dating Game - when to contact after a GOOD datePage 2 of 2    (1, 2)

Ya I've noticed different types of people on here. Mostly it's just getting caught up in semantics. But there seem to be those that believe a person should invest in an interaction 100%, and then there's those that don't. That's the difference I guess. I still find it close minded personally. I think people could be missing a lot by doing so. I had a thread "Dating Vs Relationships" that talked about it.


It's true, we look at things differently.
I'm not one of those that thinks there are endless fish in the sea, tons of people
that we are compatible with. If I found someone that I thought I was compatible
with, I'd make a sincere effort to keep them interested. If I'm meeting someone
with the intent of looking for a relationship, I'm going to invest in any interaction I
have with that person 100%, if I think we are compatible. It's a small investment of
time, IMO, to make a call to thank someone for a nice date or meeting.

I generally call them within ten minutes of getting home; and every 15 minutes after that call for the next three days.





Call them a day or two before you want to see them again; and everything should be skippy!!

P.s. You will need your lawyer on speed dial to use my smooth methods

Trust me if a guy likes a girl he just met he will not wait 3 days to contact.
I agree! I used to contact men I was interested in the day after the date but would get silence. It took one man four weeks to let me know he wanted to see me again. This gave me the opportunity to let him know I didn't think he and I were a match. If he had any interest in me he wouldn't have waited one month. That is the last time I will ever write a guy to let him know I would like to see him again.

I don't play games.

I call people when I feel like it, and I expect them to do the same.


What is accomplished by it?


Only a continuation of the game-playing.

Unsubscribe me out of these dating games. I'm not one who likes to play games when it comes to people's feelings and relationships. If I like you, I will call you. I expect the same, assuming my date or woman of interest held a liking towards me. No games, just two people enjoying each others company and saying so.

As far as games? I honestly don't see why showing a little enthusiasm is a drawback when meeting someone. I personally hate the 3 day wait game and if someone is going to play it, then they better be prepared to lose because I don't plan on waiting around for a phone call. If I go out and enjoy the date AND it seems he did too, then I will send out a quick text/message within 24 hours saying so. If I hear back, cool; If I don't, Oh well..next!


ditto

At your earliest convenience. No need to have rigid rules about the timing of contact after a date. If someone contacts you 2-3 hours after the date, it doesn't necessarily make them too eager or desperate. If someone contacts you 2-3 days after the date, it doesn't necessarily mean they are playing games. They could have had cell phone problems. Or they became preoccupied with other things and simply didn't remember to call you back right away.

I think you are bragging that the guy has called you already, long before the 3 day wait. Is that right?? Just be careful if he is off a dating site. Seems too good to be true, often is. But good luck.

I have always been the type to text or call first if I had a good time. I tell them thank you for a great day/night then I leave it to them to respond. I don't give them 3 days because in those 3 days, they might be busy but if you really like someone then let them know....like hey i'll be out of pocket for today or tomorrow or whatever. Don't just leave someone hanging if you like them. I am the type to move on quickly so if you take forever to get back to me then i'll have someone else that next weekend. trust me
