Sally00 Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 Ok, how does your boyfriend answer the phone when you call him? My boyfriend says, "Hello?" as if he doesn't know it's me (he has caller ID) lol. Is it bad to feel like I'm expecting him to answer the phone knowing it's ME?? When he calls ME (which is way often than I call him because he goes to work and sometimes does stuff afterwards so I don't know when to call), I answer the phone with a "Hey!" or a "Hii." Yeah, this is a weird question... but I'm just curious what it's like with other people.

Yeah, this is a weird question... but I'm just curious what it's like with other people. It's not a weird question...I've actually wondered it myself sometimes, especially with guys I date. Some answer with "hello?" even though I know my name shows up on caller ID, and some answer with "hey what's up?" But the "hello" guys I've noticed answer the phone the same way when their friends call. It's just the way they like to answer the phone, it doesn't mean anything. It does seem a lil strange though, so I hear ya But one time my guy friend's friend called me from my guy's friend's phone, thinking it was my guy friend, I said "hey what's up?" So I can understand that people answer the phone with hello, because sometimes that happens.
lovestruck234 Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 How about: "Ready for some action?" Ha ha ha ha I said that once to my bf when he rang me and I picked up. He reckons he had never got so hard so fast in his entire life!! Ah, glad to know I have that effect on him!!
mariJane Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 i think you are thinking too hard about it, he answered the phone thats it. k peace out

lovestruck234 Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Well, if it helps. I rang my bf about half an hour ago to ask him something and he picked up with a "Hello?" like he didn't know who it was. I just said to him "Why do you answer the phone like that? You know it's me silly!!" he's like "Oh, I didn't even realise...ha ha ha sorry darlin!" then I rang him back like 10 minutes ago to ask him something again and he answered with "Hey beautiful'.... Just tell him if it bothers you too much...

Walk Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 My bf always answers with "hello". He has a different tone and pitch for different people though. I swear I can tell who's calling based on how he says "hello" when answering the phone. haha
CrushedOrgans Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 i can do that too, walk. i always know when it's a parent, work, or one of his friends based on his greeting. i wouldn't worry so much about it. it's probably out of habit more than anything else.

He's spicing it up a little bit... and I didn't even tell him about how he answers the phone. lol. I guess I won't then!
vi_pn Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 Yeah... that's true. Nice to know I'm not alone. Thanks for the comment! you're welcome
AwkwardMan Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 I'm a "hello?" guy. There's lots of reasons why someone else might call from whatever number and I don't look on my cellphone at the caller ID before answering. (It's on the inside of my cell, so if people are being stupid I'll look down after I say "hello?" and they say "hi" back. )
NTB Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 i think girls look into the answering of the phone too much, my x was like this. if i didn't answer the phone knowing it was her or in a happy mood she start an argument. shouldn't you just be happy that i am picking up the line?
Poboy Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 stop analysing things so much ... as long as he is picking the phone and talking , its good hello , hi , hey ... everyone has their own unique style , same goes for the ladies

Wow, That sounds like my ex. If I couldn't tell he was in a bad mood or had a crappy day from the first second I started to talk to him then all hell would break loose. Be glad the guy answers the phone! That is the key thing.
Author Sally00 Posted August 1, 2006 Author Posted August 1, 2006 LoL yes people. I am happy my own boyfriend picks up the phone. I'm not upset, I'm not pissed, I'm not furious. This is just a random question I had.
