So after getting a number from a girl, how long do you guys usually wait to call back? Ladies, when would you prefer a guy call back? I usually try to wait anywhere from 3-5 days usually more along the lines of 5. Please explain your answers. You may begin.... now!

 

It depends on how much you like her:

1 - you like her a lot: call her the next day to show that. If she's not there leave a message.

2 - you don't really like her all that much: do the 3-5 days thing. If she's not there leave a message to show that you kinda care.

secret option #3 - you just want a to bang the hell out of her: look her up and show up at her house.


I'm sure there are more variations, like depending on how much she likes you...etc.

 

Could be interpreted as somewhat stalkerish...

Anyway, I just kinda wait it out n call whenever I think of her again randomly. Usually is a good indication of how much I liked her too.

 

dont wait it out. that is so frickin gay. call her when you want to call her.

 

exactly, why on earth would you want to enter into something, already playing a game?

retarded. goat behaviour even.

 

It all depends on chemistry. If you have something going why wait? Quite childish, cease the moment before you become a memory if that.

 

If the guy waits as long as 5 days, I would assume that he's just playing a game. I think you should just call her within the first 2-3 days especially if you feel a strong connection.

 

I emailed my current GF when I got back home the very night we went out on our first date. After that, I think we saw each other every day for the first 2 to 3 weeks. It's been 7 months now, and still goin' strong.

Don't wait. If you want to talk to her, call her.

 

I agree with the others, why wait? My wife phoned me 30 minutes after I got home prior to our 1st date just to say thanks and she had a good time. Notice that she is now my wife.....

 

I've always heard that if you call too early you appear too desperate. I ended up calling 2 days later and she told me she had a boyfriend. Have a feeling it was a bs line but eh. A little fact that I would have liked to know before her giving me her number.

 

Thats called thinking too much.

I mean how do you sound desperate calling a girl who already gave you her number. She wants you to call her.....

 

3-5 days...ehh

i usually go with the next day thing if i really do think we might have some connection, worked out fine so far....

 

3 days...? Meh...don't really play those kind of games.

 

call her when you feel comfortable. Dont play the typical games. Most women actually like a guy who's creative and not a habitual "dating rule" follower

 

i usually wait 2-3 days depending on the girl, sometimes the next day depending on how well everything went the night prior. I really dont see that as looking desperate either, its the guy that calls 20 times a day thats desperate.

 

High school games like this are just ridiculous. If you like someone, tell them. Be yourself and dont let someone else's dating "rules" dictate your social life.

 

I was never really big on the whole waiting game. It always depended on how much I liked the girl. I would probably not call the same day, but a day or 2, IMO is fine.

 

 

I would wait at least 73 hours before calling her. Anything less than 72 hours since your initial meeting could be interpreted as something completely different!

 

Damn I was hoping to take all my dating advice from Swingers.

 

Call them when you feel like talking to them. Simple as that

If it takes 5 days to want to call someone, then they're probably not that special to you.

 

I actually know several women that will not go out with a guy if he waits 3 days because, as Astro mentioned, they hate games and if there is any indication that the game is being played, they say NO.

 

I called my current gf the day after. I left her a message on her voicemail and she called back the following day. This 3 day rule is stupid, if you really like her dont wait this will show her that you do like her and are not playing head games.

 

i called the next day.
call her ass!

 

I already did. ^^ post 10 explains.

 

ouch, so she either

1. gave you the sympathy number

2. decieded she really has no interest and didnt know what she was thinking ( no offense )

3. Or she has the boyfriend and is still looking for options.

hopefully you forgot about her already.

 

I usually call the b!tch right away.

 

5 days. Enough time for me to think about if I really want to pursue it. It also gives the girl plenty of time too.

Most of the time the girl is more down than I am, and they say yes every time.

The biggest thing is confidence and honesty. Girls love it, and it's the secret to a mans happiness.

 

IF I'm single and meeting new girls, I would typically determine when/if I want to call her depending on how I feel about her and our initial encounter. If it was a weak encounter but I got her number, I might just forget about her and never call. Or, if I was bored, I might call to see if she wanted to have a drink and take it from there.

If she was an amazing girl and I was into her I wouldn't wait longer than a day or two to set something up.
