amen.
Well... the fun ones are.
amen.
Why? That's just a whole 'nother gender you have to compete with.
Angel, I think we should discuss this. I'll call you later.The author should have included a rule about how guys saying " I'll call" does not necessarily mean they will.
Because EVERYONE knows, a girl would so much rather a guy say he is going to call and then NOT instead of just being truthful upfront that he has no intention of phoning.
T Long.
And FYI, I will no longer accept the phrase " I will call you later."
Later is too broad a term.
Someone told me this weekend they would call me later.
It is later ( two days worth!!!!) and I am still waiting.
So wrong number, please try again.
I can only speak for myself, but yes, I've always far preferred women to directly speak their minds. However, I can understand that some men probably don't react well to it.
Oh, and as for the guys who say "I'll call you" but don't, I think that's a terrible way to behave too. I know guys who insist that you have to wait 4 days, and this and that and 'play the game' - I say forget that, if you like someone you call them the next day.
Damn straight. That there sums up ages 16-24 for me. Thankfully that time in my life is long gone...There was a stand up whose name escapes me that did a funny bit on that phenomenon.
"Imagine if you went into a job interview and the manager said, 'Wow, you have a great resume. You're perfectly qualified; , you're precisely what we are looking for. But we're not going to hire you. We are going to hang on to your resume and use it to gauge every other applicant we see before hiring someone much worse than you. They might not even meet half the criteria we're actually looking for! We will hang onto your contact info, however, so we can call you from time to time to complain about the guy we hired instead of you, but just so we're clear, you will never get this job.'"

Exactly.
What is annoying to me about this situation is I keep hearing Greg Behrendt
( I've read all his books and used to watch his talk show when it was on t.v.) in my mind, quoting me his ( Greg's) signature line, " He just not that into you!"
And Greg's probably right, but no need to rub it in!
Sorry to hear that, Angel.
If this guy's not into you, then he's not worth it anyway, but I know the feeling when you like someone and they won't give anything back even though they give the impression they want to - sometimes they're not into you, sometimes their emotions are moving slower than yours, sometimes they're afraid of showing how they feel... in the end, you never know what's going on in people's heads, but their actions speak volumes.
Thanks and vey true.
I have been way to obsessed about the whole no call thing anyways.
I get upset about silly stuff when I am tired. I am trying to get promoted at work and so have been putting in a lot of extra hours.
Better to focus my energy on that.
Angel... I would call you on Friday, but I don't have your number...
and unfortunately I also don't reside in San Antonio...

Thank you.
I was thinking about something though- about how suddenly a phone call is just not a phone call.
I mean, I've had friends forget to call me or take several days to do so but I never obsessed about it.
So it seems a little unfair to the guy that I am putting so much significance on when he calls.
And I wonder, what makes me do that?
Are the rules I am forcing common sense and common decency or are they unreasonable, ill advised, and over dramatized?
I'm really not sure. Maybe a little of both is true.
And also, since men obviously do not think like women, how upset can I really be with a guy for not getting it?
My struggle is that I like for things to make sense and I get so annoyed when they don't and/ or when the information I want is not readily available to me.
And the greatest irony of all this is how complicated you men make things by not being complicated.
Way to go guys!
My thought is that (and I'm quite guilty of this...):The author should have included a rule about how guys saying " I'll call" does not necessarily mean they will.
Because EVERYONE knows, a girl would so much rather a guy say he is going to call and then NOT instead of just being truthful upfront that he has no intention of phoning.
If you're worried about the guy calling, shouldn't you invest a bit more time to ensure that the investment in ***** you gave away is going to have a return????
i like to tell my future wife or future gf grab me a beer when i want one, and when i want one, i mean i want it now, not 5mins later...oh fix me a sandwich while ur at it
Good luck with that whole "when I find a girl who'll like me and accept my views and do as I say" thing...
REALLY...
IMO, if a guy is into you he won't wait more than 8hrs to call you. I don't think I waited more than 3 hours to call my now wife. Before that, I used to not call in forever.
you can always divert calls to someone randomly
I have told girls in the past that I would call them later with no intention of calling them ever again. Sorry, but as psycho as some girls are (and this goes both ways but I never dated men) there is no way I'd tell one that I wasn't calling; especially when asked right out.
Good luck to all you single people. Dating is nuts.
Seems to me if it is really going well, you are making plans for the next date before the night is even over, and no one is waiting for a phone call.
