So what's the deal with calling girls?

[Omphaloskepsis]

This time frame thing must be bullshit. I met the most incredibly beautiful girl last night. It's 9:16 AM and I'm calling her right now. Is this bad? Should I wait a few days? Do I look needy by only waiting six hours to call?

My confusion over such bullshit must be a good sign. If she gave me the number for the local Jiffy Lube I will be devastated.

1. I think it's sweet you're calling her so soon after meeting her.

I'd be flattered, if it were me.

your question reminds me of a funny scene in the movie "Swingers", where the characters go into great depth discussing the nuances of said timing. Have you seen it? It's pretty funny. Check it out, if you haven't.

Good luck with the phone call! :hi: That would be pretty tacky of her to give you a fake number, but I guess it happens...

[MindPilot]

13. "you are so money..."

That scene where the guy goes through the entire relationship in about 15 minutes of leaving phone messages just lays me away every time I see it. :rofl:

[Shine]

21. LOL! I'd forgotten that expression. Thanks for the reminder.

:rofl:

just found out from my hubby he's NEVER seen it, so it's settled: that's our next rental. ;)

[MindPilot]

2. If you want to call her -- don't

Wait until at least mid-week. You're a busy guy with an active social life and don't have time for some new chick on the weekend. The only way to make her want you--other than the 14" umm....wallet--is to make her think you don't care.

[zone]

4. Now thar's some shallow advice

...but I would at least give her the space to get a good-night's sleep.

[caty]

15. Wrong!!!!!

Call her within 24 hours. If you don't, she will feel like an "after thought". She'll think you are just calling her because you have no one better to call.

[Fox Mulder]

29. You're absolutely right.

That's how I roll.

[Lochloosa]

3. Call. Just make it short and sweet. "Had a good time last night"

Something like that. Call her back tomorrow.

Old Guy advice.

[JVS]

5. Why don't you just write a letter in your own blood on her car's hood?

Wait until tomorrow.

[MindPilot]

11. Nothing says "I love you" like good old-fashioned stalking!

Send her a dozen roses and a cell phone with that radio feature. Rent an apartment across the street. Then she'll know you really care.

[JVS]

12. Burn down your apartment so you can move in

[MindPilot]

16. Don't just take her out to dinner--buy her a restaurant.

And a car. It's almost 10:00; time to tell her you want her to have your baby.

[Wapsie B]

36. ..........

:rofl:


Thanks for the laugh!

[Deja Q]

6. Jiffy lube... you mean a call girl?

:spray:

[Pithlet]

7. Wait until tonight.

Now might be a bit too soon. But, as far as timing, it really does depend on the person. I never minded when someone called me the next day. It was flattering. The dating game is hit and miss. I don't think there are any hard and fast rules that apply for every single person. Good luck :hug:

[Fenris]

8. Either tonight or tomorrow

Morning sounds too desperate. ;)

[LeftyMom]

9. Call this evening or tomorrow

Not to look like you're cool and distant, but because anybody who calls at 9 am on Sunday had better be telling me that a relative is in life or death surgery and I need to go give blood or something.

[jpgray]

27. That's the correct answer

[flamingyouth]

10. Did you wake her up?

We need an update. :D

[Omphaloskepsis]

18. Yes I did...

The number was real... She wants to go to Arbys.. WTF. Hey .. I love strange girls. So nasty food and ice cream in the rain sounds good. I need a new outfit. God.. I can't stop thinking about her lips...

[MindPilot]

19. Danger Will Robinson! Damage Control, report!

Dating protocol beached Capitan! Neediness flooding lower decks, but compartments sealed and communication channels still open. The ship is capable of full speed and maneuvering.

Roger that. Bring her abroad and plot a course to Arbys.


We do expect a full update upon your return, Omphaloskepsis.

Godspeed and good luck!

[JVS]

20. Arby's? Don't forget to to impress her by eating the Big Montana

[NashVegas]

24. You Done Good

I don't know that I would have recommended lunch today exactly, but it's good that you called her within 24 hours and that you called for bizness and not just to shoot the shit.

[henslee]

14. So what if she's the local Jiffy lube. That could be a good thing.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

22. ...

:rofl:

[HEyHEY]

32. Your tears may get you a free oil change

[Crazy Guggenheim]

17. Give it a couple of days.

[RetroLounge]

23. Fuck this rules bullshit

call her, tell her you were happy to meet her, and just wanted to tell her that, and ask if you can call another time to talk in length...

If that scares her off, then she'll never withstand anything that occurs in a future relationship.

RL

[HEyHEY]

25. You fucked up...you shoulda called her at 6:30 am

[JVS]

26. WRONG. He shouldn't have parted from her last night

Nothing says commitment like refusing to part with someone

[HEyHEY]

28. Wether they like it or not

[MindPilot]

30. You sound like a real sicko....

I like you. In a decent manly sort of way of course.

[JVS]

31. Sounds is the key word. I don't do weird shit, unless ditching a girl...

at a youth hostel is considered weird. She was cramping my style, and when I got back to my dorm I found two apologetic letters inviting me to come over for dinner, so she must have realized she was pissing me off.

Other than that incident, I'm nice as hell.

[HEyHEY]

33. Sounds reasonable to me

Though, I'd of made her buy me a souvenir to make up for it.

[JVS]

34. I was just content to not have to deal with her at all.

[twenty4blackbirds]

35. give a call - keep it short

:-) good luck.
