| | How many days should you wait to call back?Page 1 of 1 | How many days should a guy wait before he calls you after you go out? I always felt like one should wait a few days (like maybe 3 at the most) so that you don't look desperate, but I have noticed some women want you to call back, and if you don't then it makes them kinda irritated...
Would you want a man to call you back the next night or wait a couple days or what? | |

| How many days should you wait to call back? Posted: 6/16/2012 2:35:19 PM | I've had times where he calls right after the date if it goes well! If too many days pass, you've already sort of moved on in your head. I say, whatever feels comfortable. Why not call the next evening? There shouldn't be "rules". Just go with your gut, it shouldn't steer in you the wrong direction. I do appreciate the follow up text though if you really like them. "Had a great time, you're really fun/cute/funny. We've got to do that again and soon! :)" Also, if she's not that into you, at least over text she can let you down easier, and vice versa. :D | |

| How many days should you wait to call back? Posted: 6/16/2012 2:39:45 PM | | I agree with Red.... I have had men call me to see if I made it home ok... and we end up chatting... there is no time frame to waiting... but I would do it sooner rather than later.... because the more you wait... the less I am going to think you are interested.... especially if I talked to you or text with you every day before the date.... | |

| How many days should you wait to call back? Posted: 6/16/2012 2:40:16 PM | It depends. I think for the most part though, if it was just a simple text or email right after the date....I would be okay with it. If a guy doesn't say anything at all rather it's a day or two, then decide within a wk to call, I'm like hell no.
Just as long as you keep it simple, it's ok. Calling is also a good thing, which is really your questions. However, if you can't get a hold of her, maybe text the next day if she does not respond. But, you should probably leave a message if she doesn't answer. No response at all, then I would say, your date is not worth it. | |

| How many days should you wait to call back? Posted: 6/16/2012 4:02:23 PM | | I think when someone is interested they should say it at the end of the date. Why play games? I just don't get all of the game playing that people do here......It's ridiculous. | |

| How many days should you wait to call back? Posted: 6/16/2012 4:32:48 PM | If the date went well, you want another and sense that she does too, after you say goodnight, just say you'll give her a call this coming week. If she says ok, then pick a night and say "how about Tuesday, are you going to be home?" If she says yes, then say, ok, I'll call you Tuesday around 8." If she says ok, then do it. If something comes Tuesday and you can't call when you said you would, then give her a quick call BEFORE then and tell her something came up and you'll call later or the next night, and then do it. Whatever you do, don't just not call when you say you're going to.
Why do all the guessing and wondering, just pin down a future time and then do it. | |

How many days should a guy wait before he calls you after you go out? I always felt like one should wait a few days (like maybe 3 at the most) so that you don't look desperate, You need to grow up and quit playing games. If I had a nice evening I will text or probably call her ON MY DRIVE HOME.
Many women are neurotic and sit staring at the phone after a good date wondering why you have not called. By three days they have blown you off and are probably strapped down to a gurney in a hospital somewhere so they cant hurt themselves.
If you had a good date CALL THEM the next day.

| How many days should you wait to call back? Posted: 6/17/2012 5:34:37 AM | 3 days does seem a bit long and a tad antiquated! I would have assumed he wasn't interested by then and lost the 'shine' from my budding interest, which I can't always get back.
After I've gone out; a text or quick call to say your/I'm home and thanks etc then I'd expect to hear from them again within 2 days. | |

| How many days should you wait to call back? Posted: 6/17/2012 7:09:04 AM | Even if the date went great, if you don't call for 3 days, I probably won't respond. Who dreamed up that stupid 3 day rule anyway? It's retarded.
p.s. Cowboy you crack me up! "Strapped to a gurney" LOL | |

| How many days should you wait to call back? Posted: 6/17/2012 9:44:37 AM | There is no general right or wrong answer. It depends on the woman. Some women will think a man is too eager, desperate etc if he calls right away. On the other hand, if a man calls a woman a few days after the date, some women will think he is playing games or isn't that interested. Call her at your earliest convenience. If that's too soon or not soon enough for her, then move on.
I find it interesting that some women are rigid about the timing of the phone call. There are valid reasons why a man first called a woman 3 days after the date. He had cell phone problems. He was sick. He was planning to call you sooner. But he became preoccupied with other things and simply didn't remember to call you earlier. I'm sure many people ( at some point in their lives ) forgot to call someone on a particular day. Then ended up calling that person 1-2 days later. | |

| How many days should you wait to call back? Posted: 6/17/2012 10:35:38 AM | the sooner the better...at the max 2 days..
any longer say a week or ridiculously 2 to 3 weeks later then its obvious you were not really interested or you probably have somebody eles who is the main number 1 in your life.. | |

| How many days should you wait to call back? Posted: 6/17/2012 2:52:28 PM | | I HATE when guys don't call me within a day of going out!! It makes me think he is not interested in me. We live in the age of communication, so there is no reason you shouldn't at least text her. You like her-- you let her know! | |

| How many days should you wait to call back? Posted: 6/17/2012 6:14:07 PM | | If the date goes well, I'd say call the next day or following after that. If you take too long, she will forget (b/c of the nature of the site), think you're not interested and move in. But mostly, go w/ your gut feeling. | |

| How many days should you wait to call back? Posted: 6/18/2012 10:31:49 AM | | I like a guy who follows up quickly, like to text me that night if I got home ok or call the next day and say he enjoyed our date. If he waits too long (3 days or more) it looks like game playing or a lack of interest and I will almost always refuse another date with him. | |

| How many days should you wait to call back? Posted: 6/18/2012 12:51:19 PM | If you're interested in her, don't wait - call her that day or the next! Waiting for a few days doesn't tell us you're not desperate - it tells us you're not interested!!! The longer you wait, the more nervous and ticked off we [women] get.
A date to me feels very much like a job interview, and when I interview for a job, I want to know as soon as possible whether I'm hired.
By the third day after a date, I've pretty much written the guy off and assumed he's not interested. After all, how long does it take to send a quick "Thanks for meeting me. I had a great time" text? 30 seconds? Or how 'bout a quick phone call to say "Hey, I'd love to hang out again. When are you free?"
Seriously, if you found a great deal on a great car, would you wait three days to buy it, or scoop it up right away so you don't lose out to someone else? | |
