thouse Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I met a guy Friday while I was shopping, and he asked for my number. I gave it to him,but he hasn't called yet. Do guys normally take this long to call? Or why would you waste your time getting someone's number if you had no intention of calling? Link to comment
Bunney Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Hmmm, maybe he's been busy, or got extremely shy and nervous all of a sudden. I'd just wait some days more.. Link to comment
ponyboy Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Maybe he surfs forums as well and read that most people say wait 2-3 days so you dont seem so eager... Link to comment

Maybe something during the conversation turned him off, I would think if he was ok enough to ask for my number,then he is probably not shy. Link to comment
bmwm3 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 maybe he is busy.. or just making you sweat it a little bit... sometimes guys play the 3-5 day rule... stupid i know.. if i like someone i will call her the next day.. just to at least touch bases.... Link to comment
thouse Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 I admit, if he had called me the next day I would have thought he was too eager, but it's been 3 days, if/when he does call I will probably be too annoyed to even talk to him. Link to comment
tmp02161248 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I hate that, if I gave my number to a girl and she called me the next day I would be thrilled, but if a guy does it, it's held against him, but then if he waits too long it's held against him. Why must we do this balancing act? Link to comment
Batya33 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I think if he calls within the week it's fine. Link to comment
fastball2113 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Analbumcover- its just a double-standard...nothing you or me can do to change a double standard thouse- I sometimes ask for girls numbers and don't call. Getting the number is the polite thing to do, like it or not what a guy does with a number is ultimately his choice Link to comment

Getting the number is the polite thing to do, like it or not what a guy does with a number is ultimately his choice What's puzzling is what's the point of starting a conversation and getting someone's number if you're not going to call, I didn't ask for him to talk to me or his politeness.

Can you relay the conversation as I often see and make extended eye contact with cute girls but am too afraid to approach them Thanks. Link to comment

He walked by me one time and I saw him looking at me, but I just kept on shopping. Then he came back around and said how pretty I was and that he just had to tell me that, then he asked me for my number so I gave it to him. Link to comment
Tethys Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 If he doesn't call within a week, write him off, just so you don't worry about it. I have noticed that people who get numbers this way don't usually call, probably because they are collecting a lot of numbers in the same manner. Link to comment
