40 Fonzarelli Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Im wondering if any ladies here would even ignore a phone call from a guy you were interested in. I went on a date with a girl i met online last weekend. We've been texting back and forth and she seems interested and always texts back. But I tried calling last night and it went straight to voicemail. Today I try again and it rings but no pick up. I think im gonna have to text her for a second date.
Avulare Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 I'm weird among women, but I HATE talking on the phone. It doesn't matter if it's someone I like or not, it's just the act of talking on the phone I hate. Under most circumstances I'd much rather converse in person, by text, or by email. EDIT: But if it was from a guy who I was interested in, I'd probably answer it because most people seem to prefer talking on the phone over other forms of contact.
SmileFace Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Umm, she is ignoring you. This has nothing to do with liking phone calls or not. If she doesn't even have the decency to answer her phone or contact you back, why would you want to ask her on a next date? Stop trying to make her f-edupness work in your favor. It doesn't seem like she is interested. 2

dhyan Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Did you leave her a voicemail? If you did, then I wouldn't try to contact her again. I personally can't stand texting. If I'm interested in a guy I'd rather talk on the phone.

I used to hate talking on the phone in general -- but don't anymore. Especially not when a guy I'm interested in is calling. I expect him to call me on a regular basis.
NoMoreJerks Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 I hate it when a guy keeps texting me but doesn't muster up the courage to call me. Man up and call. Or I will conclude you are not interested enough.
lvixen Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 If a woman is interested she'll pick up the phone for the guy she is interested in, regardless if she likes talking on the phone or not. I'm not much of a phone gal myself (much prefer texts or in-person contact, especially in the beginning stages of dating) but I'd still pick up the phone if a guy I liked was calling. Just my 2 cents.
kiss_andmakeup Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 I personally like phone calls. This was something that set my current boyfriend apart from other guys I had dated in the early stages of our dating/relationship. Yes, we texted, but he actually called me to set up dates or just ask how my day went. Every other guy I'd dated in the past relied nearly 100 percent on texting. Unfortunately talking on the phone is becoming so extinct that much of the younger generation isn't comfortable with doing it (I even include myself in this; I'm 25 and never had talked on the phone much before my current BF). To them it feels awkward, forced, they don't know what to say; they're used to having time to think and put their thoughts into words in the form of texts and e-mails. This could be a reason for her eagerness in responding to your texts but her reluctance to answer a call. How old are you and the girl you're dating?
mesmerized Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 I used to think I prefer text to phone calls but a guy I met recently called me to ask me out and I really liked it, most men text rather than call nowadays.
ThaWholigan Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Girls nowadays like to text a lot, but if your phone game is good, she won't come off the phone.
Woggle Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Glad my woman likes the phone because I don't text. I even tell my friends if they want to get in touch pick up the phone because I will not answer you back on Facebook.
xpaperxcutx Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 I have no problems picking up the phone or calling, I actually love to talk to my bf. However I've been guilty of avoiding people in the past. Not something that I was proud of.
nessaaa Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 If she wasn't interested, she wouldn't even reply back to your texts. She might be more comfortable texting you. Some people just prefer texting. I've ignored phone calls of people that I'm interested in, and I rather phone calls vs texts. Just depends my mood. Like today, this guy I usually call up wanted to talk on the phone,..I told him I didn't feel like it. Doesn't mean I'm not interested, I like him. If she wasn't interested she wouldn't bother texting u back.Texting means more then calling these days anyways.
phineas Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Well, in my experience if the woman is interested in you but doesn't pick up when you call & only texts back it's because she has a BF or husband. It's not a 100% thing, but women my age grew up with a phone that had a cord on it so they do in fact have basic telephone skills. If they aren't using them, there is a reason & I usually wind up not liking it.
Eternal Sunshine Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 I HATE HATE talking on the phone. I guess that makes me weird. What else is new? It doesn't matter who I am talking to. I even made my mum learn how to text. It's the act of talking on the phone that I dislike. I never quite know what to say, I fear that I am not amusing enough, I don't know how to end a phone call and when. I am much more comfortable with talking in person or via text. All people in my life know it and guys that I date generally hate it (because like you, they don't believe that I hate talking on the phone and think that I am not that interested). The only person that I talk on the phone to a lot is my boss. He prefers that method of conversation and I have been to scared to state my preferences so I go along with it. That said, I don't ignore phone calls. I cringe and pick up the phone. However, if I genuinely missed a call, I will respond via text rather than call back (unless it's my boss).
Jane2011 Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) I wouldn't ignore a call from a guy I was dating or interested in, but I'm not crazy about talking on the phone with a guy who I see in person regularly enough. I like talking on the phone with people I don't see in person or who live out of town. Then there's reason to talk for a long time and catch up. But when I'm on the phone with someone who I see in person 3-4 times a week, which is how it is when a guy and I are dating, I'd be inclined to think, "Why are we talking on the phone?" I didn't used to be this way. In my teens and early twenties, I was a fan of talking on the phone even with people I saw in person plenty. Edited October 12, 2012 by Jane2011
