"HELP! When a guy gives you his #, how long do you wait to call?" Forever. He should've asked for your number and call you. I've had guys give me their number and ask me to call them, and even if I had been previously interested, I just toss the number. If he was really interested in me he would've asked for my number. Plus it seems not very manly and kind of feminine on his part.

When it's the other way around I wait until the next day. I think 3 days is a bit much but immediately (within a couple hours) is a bit too eager for most women. So I would expect the same.

Plus it seems not very manly and kind of feminine on his part. I totally agree. I have not met one couple where the woman did the pursuing and have had it work out in the long term. I have been in the situation before. You're talking to a guy for a while the conversation is going good you think he's gonna ask you out. He says he's gotta get back to his table/friends whatever you know it's coming he grabs a pen from his pocket/table open's his mouth and says "here's my number". Your heart sinks to the floor and you also can't help but feel a little puturbed (as him giving you his number is just a hidden form of rejection). I usually toss the number as looking at it stings my eyes ! If this has actaully worked for anyone and your relationship is strong please prove me wrong !

Hey Annenigma, There is obviously a lot of different opinions and "rules" ettiquettes, expectations and what not. However we adults can make things more complicated then is necessary. Otherwise with all these contradictions here and there nothing happens. not all guys do not like women making the first move and not all women wait for men to make the first move. We live in the year 2009. Call whenever you think is right and you are comfortable with it. If you are interested -show it. The guy hopefully will not be judgemental because you simply decided to call soon. If there is something you want to know about a particular person. Ask the source. That person. It's ultimately between you and him.

If I give a women my number, I would want her to call sooner rather then later. The 3 day rule has always been a bit silly to me. If a women gave me her number I would assume she gave it to me for a reason... she wants me to call her. The same can be said if I gave a women my number, if she doesn't call then I will assume she is not interested, and I would move on. I'm not going to sit around waiting 3 days or more for her to decide to call me. I'm not interested in playing games.

I never call a man that gives me his number, regardless of how I feel. I also don`t give out my number until I know someone quite well and know they aren`t dangerous. So these personal rules for safety have made it difficult to connect. I will give a man sometimes my e-mail, if I really like him, but never my number. So for me, if the guy hands a card, it goes right into file 13 automatically.
