Angelina1433 Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 I think it's rather funny that about a week ago, I posted a post that was about drunk dialed because guess what? I got drunk dialed!!!!! Luckily, it was a really sweet call. I actually just met the guy that night, gave him my number and he called after the bar closed. He asked me to call him back (he wants to take me out). Should I call, or wait for him to call me back - when he's sober? Seriously. If I don't call him back and wait, will he be embarassed and not call - thinking that I'm put off by his drunk dialing?
A Fly onThe Wall Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 I'd say call him back.. Before the beer goggles wear off
Zephyr45 Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 I'd say call him back... the next time you are drunk!
Author Angelina1433 Posted August 2, 2005 Author Posted August 2, 2005 Geez Fly, you can be downright mean. Are you serious though, when you say call?
A Fly onThe Wall Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 angelina... I was only kidding about the beer goggles.. I used a laugh icon I think you should call him.. seriously
Author Angelina1433 Posted August 2, 2005 Author Posted August 2, 2005 Alright, I'll call him back tomorrow. I'm nervous! I'm getting that flippy feeling in my stomach just thinking about it. This is fun Any other women, men, (or insects) have any thoughts about this?
kellyp1 Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 Drunk dials - when practiced on a random basis - are too funny. I love to get them from a guy that knows drunk dialing out of the blue once or twice is cute, every couple days is more of a pain in the ass. Hope it was a funny conversation or message. Those are the best!
Swamp Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 hahaha "don't play games" r-r-r-r-r-right. haven't you ever seen the movie "swingers" ? it is all about this type of stuff, and favreux's character meets a girl at the bar and calls her 6 times, that night. what kind of desperate fool is this, calling you so soon? he seems awfully anxious and desperate. i am never posting here again. you people will be single for the rest of your lives.
Author Angelina1433 Posted August 3, 2005 Author Posted August 3, 2005 I know how this can be interpreted as being desparate, but the message was not desparate. In fact, it was very sweet. He just told me that he wanted to take me out, and to call him back. He didn't profess his undying love or anything. i am never posting here again. you people will be single for the rest of your lives. And what is that supposed to mean? I'm actually interested in seeing this guy - I'm just wondering if others have been in this situation, and how they responded. I'm recently (2 months)out of a 7 year relationship, and this is the first guy that's asked for my number since... I'm really looking for the sincere opinions that are usually given on this board.
sanne Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 you know what i say, fsck all the damn rules. if i meet a girl and really like her, i don't wait to call her. the way i see it is if she likes me the same way, she'll call back soon and won't be put off by me calling so quickly at all. it's funny though, I remember after I watched Swingers I tried the whole not calling for 4-5 days thing, and it really backfired on me. The girl didn't even remember who I was at first and got really mad at me for waiting so long.
Author Angelina1433 Posted August 3, 2005 Author Posted August 3, 2005 you know what i say, fsck all the damn rules. Amen. Why shouldn't he call to confirm that he wants to go out? As long as he wan't a complete freak, there's no harm, no foul. Plus, there's that old saying, "In wine, there's truth." Now that I'm back to dating again, I really don't want to waste my time playing by the rules. I'll be sensible, but not a rule book beater. Plus, I'm too old for that crap (30 something). Thanks, sanne for the great advice.
Author Angelina1433 Posted August 3, 2005 Author Posted August 3, 2005 So thanks for the words of encouragement, but I'm so stupid! I called the guy back yesterday, and he pretended like he didn't remember calling at first, then he said he did. Whatever. So he said we'd get together this week, and he'd call me today. No call yet. I knew from talking to him that it wasn't going to happen. Boy, was I fooled. He was so sweet and kind, complimentary, etc. when we talked that night (and not to mention he was great on his message), but quite weird and indifferent on the phone - when sober. I hope he doesn't call later. Lesson learned. I guess I need to hang out more at the bookstore. People are usually sober there, right?
Author Angelina1433 Posted August 9, 2005 Author Posted August 9, 2005 So I got another call from Drunk Dialer, but he was sober this time. He told me that he was sorry that he couldn't go out, but that he wants to make it up to me with dinner. And he actually sounded like he did on the night we met. BUT... Needless to say, I won't be calling him back. I hope I don't sound harsh, but I really don't have time for immature bullcrap. I've been on a couple of dates since then, and I'm loving it. These guys actually called when they said they would, and we went out on the night promised. Now, is that too much to ask? Ah, dating is fun again.

I hope I don't sound harsh, but I really don't have time for immature bullcrap. I don't blame you.. I have never understood why some guys don't call when they say they will call.. To this day I have never not called when I said I would call.. Just disrespectful I say good riddens.. your life will be less complicated
littlekitty Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 If a man can't call when he says he will, he's definitely not worth the time of day. It's a sure sign of lack of respect in my opinion. If he can't respect me enough to follow through on a phone call, how else is going to be disrespecting me??? I took this kind of crap for years until I finally met the man of my dreams. Shame he has a psychotic bunny boiler for an ex and mother of his one year old son!! Well done for being strong enough to deal with his crap and move on!! You go girl!! *lol*
