Waiting so many days to call
Posted: 5/3/2005 3:17:21 AM
Someone tells me that the key to winning over a woman, even though women might deny it, is that after you get her number, wait about a WEEK to call her.

Now I know that some of you heard this "Waiting period" is the key to winning someone over...but does it really apply or does it reek of "Game playing"


Though I see alot of personal ads that say, "Tired of playing games", it doesn't mean she's not going to play games with you, she's just "Tired of it" lol

My opionion on this is if the date went well there is no harm in checking in with the person within the next couple of days. The nice thing to do is to let the person know you had a good time.

If you're naturally uninterested and could care less and have more than enough dates then you naturally will not call or want her which will driver her nuts? hahah But, if you call like she's the last woman on earth and you only have a week to live (you're desperate) well you better look somewhere else..b/c the last woman on earth ain't that kind of meat...lol Hugh?

thats a trick that never works.

just call when you feel like calling. If anything shell be flattered that you called soon, and insulted if you wait too long. Just play it by ear...or heart...whichever is the stronger of the two.

"Well I say what I mean so "

Hm, well, depends on the person....somehow I don't think a woman who squeezes her boobs in front of the camera for all to see, can be taken seriously.

Games, games, games....the online dating world is a fickle place.....for a lot of us gals (and I am sure guys can relate to this as well) if we haven't heard from you in a week we take that as you not being interested.....and where one fish isn't interested another fish will be. I'm not sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to decide whether he wants to call me or not. Life is too short for BS. If you are interested SHOW IT and don't be sitting on your hands wasting time. Because I can pretty much guarantee you while you are waiting for some silly time line some other person who knows what they want will have picked up the phone. This goes for both sexes.

yes, wait a week, so that the woman can sit and wonder what she did wrong...when she thought you had such a good time.. don't do it. If you liked her, if you enjoyed yourself, nothing wrong w/calling and letting her know right away. Hell, call her from the car on your way home.

That's the way I see it. I would not wait a week before calling someone I'm interested in. I may call them 1 or 2 days from when they give me their number, but anything past that and I'm going to email her and let her know.

Doesn't have to be a long conversation either. Sometimes a simple "Hello, just called to see how you're doing" is really all that's needed. :)

If a guy waited a week (7 days) to call me after a date I would think he wasn't interested.

'Swingers' recommends 6 days. I usually wait 2, unless I am completely head over heels for the girl, then I just save the call and wait for her on her front steps.

Genuinely be that busy and have a full life so a week actually goes by not out of forgettin or a lack of fondness but honest to goodness "full plate" "I'm not a loser" stuff hahahh ;) Man, I have to simulate it or use my "absent minded professor" week...drats! Call every hour after you first meet and try to make them your life...heheh

If they don't call me right away, then I've started to lose interest...

If you wait a week to call me, I assume you aren't interested.

The same day or next day is too eager for the initial first call but 3 days is good. One week is too long unless you tell the person your going to be busy and can't call until a certain day.

The perfect scenario (for me) after the first date mind you, is if he says I'll call you on (fill in the blank day) and we can make plans for our next date. Then you know he likes you. That may be to brazen for some but again that is what I prefer. I have also had on the extreme end of things a guy call after 3 weeks....way too long. Then I knew he was trying to seem like he didn't care or in fact he didn't. Either way, just call her (don't leave a message) or next time if it's such a dilemma give her your number and she can call you and you don't have to worry about it.
