who cares what the "proper" amount of time to wait is?

If I like a guy after our first phone conversation, I phone him the next night. I don't waste time thinking if I look desperate or not, I just go with what my heart tells me. And everytime, he has said he is so super happy I called....

My advice? just go with what feels right to you. If you start worrying about what is right and what isn't this early on then that isn't a good sign IMO.

In a woman's case, it's more delicate. Women have been taught to let the man be the aggressor, but it's also modern day and some men have learned to play like they are desperate, so they choose to hold off calling, making it harder on the women. I just say that if the person gives you there number, calling once a night shouldn't be a problem. If it is, they should specify ahead of time to not call on certain times.

I agree with Jennthelpn on this. If you like someone, than fretting over what exactly an 'appropriate amount of time' is nonsense. If the other person likes you, they're not going to think to themself,

"Gee, I really like this person but this call was just too soon, so I can't see them again.."

I think it is fine to call the next day. If you gave out the number, you want them to call, right? I know my friends have told me that they have given out their number and then never returned the calls. It is like they regretted giving it out. Has that ever happened to anyone?

If you have both exchanged phone numbers, then there should be no hesitation to use it. What's more nerve wracking is when you give them your number but they don't give you theirs. They call once and say they will call again, but then don't follow-up on that. Waiting for that second call is hard.

I think if someone is interested enough,youd call when you had the first chance to do so.If some have to wonder when is a good time it might not be a good thing to do in the first place.

If there is anything stupid in this world, it is waiting an "appropriate time" before calling.

When you ask for someones number, (and they give it), it is quite simple and courteous to ask when is a good time to call.

There you have it, a number and an agreement to call after, say, 7 pm.

I generally don’t bother with phone numbers. If I meet a girl I just give her my address and hours of operation.

about 3am, after youve been drinking all night. Tell her how much you care and how other women before her have screwed you up. That would make a real good impression.

If we give you our number.....don't play the wait 1-3 day game...just as you should avoid the 3 days after a date thing. when you don't call us, we figure you are not interested, and we move on. if you don't call after a date...especially if sex was involved...oh boy...trust me...it is not enduring..and it does not make us want you more.
