Confusedalways Posted May 28, 2010 Posted May 28, 2010 I'm in the middle of online dating. A guy gave me his number after some nice exchanges, basically told me to call whenever. I called, it went to voicemail. I left a message, saying to call me back whenever. He calls me back the next day, I'm at work, he leaves a voicemail and tells me to call him back between 5pm and 6pm. I don't get out of work until 9pm (he would have no way of knowing that). I call him back that day at 9, and leave a voicemail, telling him to call me back tomorrow (knowing it will be night, as I know he works in an office until 5pm every day). I just realized I am going to be out all night tomorrow and don't think I'll be able to answer, and i'm guessing it'll bounce to VM again. What would you guys do at that point? No clue if he has a texting plan-- I imagine he's going to grow bored of playing phone tag. I think this has potential if we could get in touch What comes next? I'm not playing games, and I don't really feel like he is either. I simply can't answer. He's 25, and I'm 22 if that makes a difference.
Ihavenoidea Posted May 28, 2010 Posted May 28, 2010 This happened to me once. Try texting or leaving a voicebail saying he can text you and if not leave your email or something. this is the information age, theres a million ways to communicate. the fact that you both are legitematley trying is a sound start imho
Star Gazer Posted May 28, 2010 Posted May 28, 2010 I'd communicate via text or email to set up a phone date - but not with a one hour window like he gave you. More like, "Available to chat tonight?" "Sure!" "Okay, I'll call you sometime after work. :)"
Author Confusedalways Posted May 28, 2010 Author Posted May 28, 2010 Ridiculous garbage. A good way to keep the phone games going. what do you suggest in that case? We don't have each other's emails or anything so should I just call back yet again?
Star Gazer Posted May 28, 2010 Posted May 28, 2010 Communicate by text to find a time that works for both. Um, that's exactly what I said to do.
Author Confusedalways Posted May 28, 2010 Author Posted May 28, 2010 I could care less about how many times it takes us to reach each other, i'm afraid HE'S going to get annoyed so I want to try to avoid this problem. I just feel bad because I'm pretty sure he's trying to avoid texting. This is such a headache.
