| A question for the Guys...Ever been TOO BUSY TO CALL? Posted: 4/5/2007 8:01:53 AM | | I've never been too busy to call. If I say I'm calling, I do it. The only excuse to me is if an emergency happened or something. That's not happened to me, but it's simple manners if nothing else. Plus, if someone says they will call me, I'd expect the call, so goes back to "treat others as you want to be treated." | |

| A question for the Guys...Ever been TOO BUSY TO CALL? Posted: 4/6/2007 9:56:12 PM | Well, it's possible ofcourse.. I think i've had that maybe once or twice.. I got so caught up in work that by the time I realised I had to make a call it was already time to go home. So I didn't make the call.
Usually I would give a call if I am not gonna make it in time. That's the way it should be, but there's also times where you can get caught up in time so much that you forget to give that one call. But that shouldn't happen on a regular bases though... Then it's just wrong.. | |

| A question for the Guys...Ever been TOO BUSY TO CALL? Posted: 4/6/2007 10:14:17 PM | | Let's see. There are 86,400 seconds in a day. It takes, what, maybe 30 seconds to call and say hello, I hope that you are doing well. I am thinking about you. I miss you and I love you. Talk to you soon." Barring no phones available to make calls, there is no acceptable excuse. I have even had friends and relatives make a call to people for me to inform them of emergency situations and to say that I will call in just a bit. My belief in life, if I say it, I do it, regardless of inconvenience or "sticking my foot in my mouth by saying yes before the question is finished being asked." LOL. | |

| A question for the Guys...Ever been TOO BUSY TO CALL? Posted: 4/7/2007 2:27:22 AM | | No guy is ever too busy to call! It's all BS. UNLESS the guy is in the hospital or is in the military training where he isn't by a phone. Guys do it on purpose to give women the gift of missing them or they do it on purpose just to be prics. lol one of the two. Usually they don't it on purpose because you never ever want to appear clingly cause most guys know if you even remotely appear clingy your done bam many women lose attraction for you. | |

| A question for the Guys...Ever been TOO BUSY TO CALL? Posted: 4/7/2007 4:58:37 AM | Sometimes, yes, I can get too buried to call for a couple of days. Between work, school, and trying to do all of the work that I should have been doing for school all term, but obviously haven't because I was too busy sleeping or surfing POF, I might need a few days to unbury myself.
That's just the way that I am sometimes, especially when I'm given very unclear instructions or deadlines. I put it off, and then I end up doing a HUGE project in a week. Usually the grades turn out ok (I find graduate courses easier than undergrad courses, and it's all old hat at this point), but I don't do long phone calls when I'm buried, stressed out, and tired.
Really, for me, if I'm THAT into her, I doubt a 5 minute phone call would be enough. It'd be like potato chips, I'd end up talking for 30, or I'd end up wanting to see her. It's better to think, "ok, once I'm X pages in I can go see her." It's a better motivator.
Of course, this really only applies to a "new" relationship. Once I'm seriously seeing someone I tend to be a bit more organized with work so that I don't have to bury myself for a few days. | |

| A question for the Guys...Ever been TOO BUSY TO CALL? Posted: 4/7/2007 11:52:20 PM | Hmmm were have i heard this one. UM UM everywhere! If a man is too busy to call, he's not that into you. Period. Ok. Max it's one thing for a guy to not want to appear clingy by calling frequently but a man that never calls at all is just not that interested. Personally, if i were to go out on a date and the guy doesn't call me within a few days of the date-- I would call first to say hi and see if he's ok. If he continues not to ever call then i would move on. | |

| A question for the Guys...Ever been TOO BUSY TO CALL? Posted: 4/8/2007 9:06:46 AM | MEN ARE PIGS!
A MAN SHOULD NEVER BE TOO BUSY TO CALL THE WOMAN HE LOVES OR CARES FOR. THERE ARE TIMES I WOULD BELEIVE THAT CIRCUMSTANCES WOULD PREVAIL LIKE A FIRE, CAR ACCIDENT ETC BUT THERE IS NO EXCUSE!
IF I AM TAKING A WOMAN OUT AND SAID THAT I WOULD CALL BEFORE, I WOULD CALL, NO EXCUSE NOT TO AND IT'S SHOWS BAD MANNERS AND POOR UPBRINGING! | |

| A question for the Guys...Ever been TOO BUSY TO CALL? Posted: 4/8/2007 10:52:20 AM | Everyone has an opinion. However, most are full of IT!!!
There is no valid reason NOT to give some kind of sign. Wether it be a voice or txt msg.
I have actually taken time out from my BUSY WORK to respond.
Remember, not everyone thinks communications is a priority. | |

| A question for the Guys...Ever been TOO BUSY TO CALL? Posted: 4/8/2007 12:42:25 PM | | I got in a car accident almost died, woke up in the hospital the next day to find out this horrible news. My gf at the time didn't know when I was released from hospital she phones my house complains about me not calling. I dumped her in a second. I told her if I didn't call I had a good reason. It pays to listen. | |

| A question for the Guys...Ever been TOO BUSY TO CALL? Posted: 4/24/2007 12:29:47 AM | | i allways try to call once a day if time permits. but there are just those circumstances where you just cant be on the phone. like this one time during the holidays i was supposed to be over at my x-girlfriends house wrapping gift. yee haw but instead i was tied up working an accident. so not being permited to talk on my cell at the scene i just had to listen to it ring about a dozen times before i could talk. ill addmit it made me feel bad esspecially after listening to all of the voicemails.... sheesh. but the times that has happened are few and far between. | |

| A question for the Guys...Ever been TOO BUSY TO CALL? Posted: 4/24/2007 4:15:06 AM | Well there are times is an excuse not to call .....
I have been dating someone for 3 months now & he has been acting up 3 times in a row wherein if he has issues in his end that he is not to keen to let me in on it so he either screens calls or doesnt return calls his excuse its either work schedule or he is mad at me for some reason but dont have the gutts to tell me...
We just saw each other about 2 weeks ago and he emailed that we are okay but he hasnt been eager to call me back for 2 weeks..... so i dont know what else to think about that.... | |

Guys, when you dig a woman..when you are into her...are you ever too busy to call her?
I guess the clue is in the question. In that instance I would have to say that I would make the time to call no matter what I am doing if I said I would, even if it is only to say "sorry I really can't chat right now" and tell her when I would try and call.
Saying that though, there are occasions when it is simply impossible to call. I can't imagine that if I was down the hospital with a dying relative/friend that I would be thinking about making phone calls. Okay that is a extreme situation but unfortunately there are extreme situations in life. I suppose then you have to hope that she/he would understand and if not then are they really the right person for you? | |

| A question for the Guys...Ever been TOO BUSY TO CALL? Posted: 8/24/2007 1:14:11 AM | I work 12.5 hr nights multiple days in a row and to be honest, I barely have time for my family. I really am unavailable during those days. Any man who cannot understand that is too needy and insecure. Don't expect to find and independent financially stable woman, who is going to stroke your ego like that. If you are that into a woman, marry her. Several years down the road you will hope to have a few days to yourself. Just my independent view.  | |

| A question for the Guys...Ever been TOO BUSY TO CALL? Posted: 8/24/2007 3:42:38 AM | I guess it depends... on interest level for one. It's not always an all or nothing deal. Sometimes you're a little intersted, sometimes you're plain ol' intersted, and sometimes you're really interested. But yeah, if I'm interested *at all* than I probably wouldn't put it off for more than a week... though my mother insists that two weeks is outer limit of acceptability.
Too busy is definitely a poor excuse when the interst level is high, but stress from, say, an illness or death in the family, or something similiar, just might leave a person feeling too overwhelmed. Sometimes you just have to take whatever quiet moment you can get for yourself, and you might even feel that attmepting to make that call would be unfair to the other person 'cause, no matter how interested you are, you're just "not there"...... which might end up sending the wrong message anyways.
In terms of a more established relationship; I don't like the phone and I don't like being called at work (and am happyto extend the same courtesy), or really at anytime that is alotted to something else on any given day. That time is for whatever else I'm doing. And it is just too distracting to be thinking about what I'd rather be doing or otherwise love to do, ie. spending time with your gal. But thats over the course of a day, not several.
In the end, everyone has demands on their time. And every situation is different, but as a general rule of thumb, we have the time we *chose to make* for things. | |

| A question for the Guys...Ever been TOO BUSY TO CALL? Posted: 9/17/2007 12:15:03 AM | IT IS SO TRUE, I WORK AT A JOB WHERE I AM ON CALL 24/7 AND IT IS SO FRUSTRATING WHEN YOU DONT GET TIME TO CALL. MISCONCEPTIONS DO ARISE AND THEN YOU ARE LEFT WITH A BAD FEELING INSIDE. SO THEN WHAT...DO I RING THE NEXT DAY , OR IS IT TOO LATE. WILL OR WONT SHE BELIEVE ME, SOMETIMES ITS JUST TOO HARD ... | |
