Hi everyone,

 

I need some advice because I tend to have a "Just Go For It" attitude and don't really follow any "rules". But I've been reading some books (Why Men Love Bitches, Dating Like A Man, etc) and I'm thinking maybe I've been making the chase a little too easy for guys.

 

Anyways, so I had a blind date with a guy, set up by a mutual friend. I had fun and I thought he was cute. Yay! I think he enjoyed himself too. So, during the date, he mentioned doing something again together. A good sign. We exchanged several emails afterwards (he was travelling for work and so was I). Nothing too personal...mostly lighthearted stuff.

 

Well, we both returned into town, and he bumped into our mutual friend on Monday and she casually asked if he's seen me...and he joked that I was out of town. So, anyways, he finally calls me yesterday which I missed. But, he left a message, joking that he hoped I remembered him. He seemed apologetic that he didn't call sooner. He asked when we could get together again, and he said he'd call again later, or that I could call him, leaving his number.

 

So, my question is, when should I call him back? OR, should I wait for him to call me again? The "old" me would've probably called him back today. But now, I'm wondering if I should let him sit and wait a bit. Also, is it too "easy" for him if I tell him that I'm free this weekend? I did have plans tomorrow night, but they fell through. So, how bad does it look if I don't have plans. Do guys think that way?

 

Sorry for the lengthy post. :D

 

Cheers!

well Id call him back...basically cause no offense to males but alot of the time they dont have a clue what your thinking. A male could easily intercept you not returning a call into 'she doesn't like me', just as us females intercept a guy not calling us back. If you like the guy than go for it..why wait or why risk losing him because you havnt shown enough interest, and i think he obviously likes u so go for it

DON'T PLAY GAMES. Imagine a boss or work colleague called you. Would you wait to return the call? What if a friend called? Would you pretend you're busy? No. You'd be your genuine self. So be your genuine self. Return calls promptly - it's rude to do otherwise. And don't lie about where you've been or what you're doing because you'll be caught.

 

There are some wierd people who seem to think that if you show any sort of approval towards them, you're some sort of stalker. You don't need that kind of nutjob in your life. If you want to go out with the guy, say yes when he asks. If he thinks less of you for it, he's no loss and best gone sooner than later.
