gd1039 Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 DISCLAIMER: I know there are no hard and fast rules, but typically a guy waits at least 3 days before calling 1. to keep the girl wondering/interested and 2. So we don't look desperate. On the other hand, some girls say calling the next day is not desperate, others think waiting 3+ days is too long. So, this "survey" is aimed to narrow down a better span of how long a guy should wait before calling. So its time to put this "How long should I wait to call before..." bulls*** to rest... Ok guys, to keep things simple, select one of the answers for the questions I post: 1. After getting a number I typically wait X days before I call: A. 1 Day B. 2-3 Days C. 4-5 Days D. 5+ Days 2. I think she starts losing interest after: A. Day 1 B. Day 2 C. Day 3 D. Day 4 E. Day 5 F. 6+ Days 3. She is never going to go out with me if I call: A. Day 1 B. Day 2 C. Day 3 D. Day 4 E. Day 5 F. 6+ Days 4. I think it is desperate to call: A. Day 1 B. Day 2 C. Day 3 D. Day 4 E. Day 5 F. 6+ Days
bloonotty Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 Any reason this survey is for the guys only? I think that's kind of sexist. 1. After getting a number I typically wait X days before I call: B. 2-3 Days 2. I think she starts losing interest after: A. Day 1 B. Day 2 C. Day 3 D. Day 4 E. Day 5 F. 6+ Days This question doesn't make sense. 3. She is never going to go out with me if I call: A. Day 1 B. Day 2 C. Day 3 D. Day 4 E. her by my ex's name F. 6+ Days This one doesn't make sense either, but I pick E. 4. I think it is desperate to call: A. Day 1 B. for take out C. Day 3 D. Day 4 E. Day 5 F. 6+ Days B!!
DerangedAngel Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 So its time to put this "How long should I wait to call before..." bulls*** to rest... Sigh. In order to do that, you have to call when you want to, or when you have time to. You're only prolonging the 'bulls***' with your little survey. -DA
Author gd1039 Posted September 11, 2004 Author Posted September 11, 2004 bloonotty - A little sexist indeed...here is the link to the one for the girls I made It was on page 2. http://www.loveshack.org/forums/t47291/ DerangedAngel - Well now, if guys think that girls think its desperate to call on the first day and they justify waiting longer to call because of this, I cant ever imagine how asking girls what they really think could clear it up. Oh wait, I got it. Take a gander at the above like and you can see that infact a lot the girls that answered said they start losing interest in the time frame that most guys feel they need to call. Also, wonderfully enough, no one thought that it was desperate to call the next day. Now, I do agree with what you said about actually calling when you want to, but if a guy doesn't want to look desperate, he won't call the next day even if he wants to. But amazingly enough if someone reads through my other post, they can find out that more than not (or everytime in my post) girls didn't think it was desperate. So what can be learned from this? Maybe that girls really don't think that it is desperate and are often less interested when a guy waits to call, so guys should infact call whenever they want. Oh dearie, I can finally realize how I am prolonging the "bulls***" with my "little survey" what was I ever thinking? Now, if some guy ever sees my survey and decides "hey I guess it isn't a big deal to call sooner" that the purpose of this was infact useful.
Author gd1039 Posted September 11, 2004 Author Posted September 11, 2004 Also, bloonotty as far as the questions not making sense... I should have worded them like this "If I havent called by day X, I think she is losing interest in me" And If I call after day X, I doubt she will still go on a date with me" Basically, a lot of guys think (and it is partly true) that the longer they wait to call the more interested a girl becomes. But, IMO if I haven't called in 6 days, I doubt she still wants to talk to me.
Nosmas Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 You're only prolonging the 'bulls***' with your little survey. Probably true for every survey.
spanishlover Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 1. After getting a number I typically wait X days before I call: B. 2-3 Days 2. I think she starts losing interest after: E. Day 5 3. She is never going to go out with me if I call: A. Day 1 & F. 6+ Days 4. I think it is desperate to call: A. Day 1 i hope this helps
