dating advice

I am dating someone and found to be disappointed when he does not return my calls in a reasonable amount of time. My question is at what point do you confront someone gently to let them know you were disappointed. I don't want to scare the guy off but am sick of always bottling up my feelings, regardless how trivial. What are your thoughts? Do you tend to just be understanding or blurt how you feel and why? I am especially appreciative of any guy advice. Thanks.

Of course your question does not have enough detail. What is a reasonable amount of time for you? One thing to consider, is the person's schedule, are they very busy, or have lot's of time? There are many reasons why people do not return phone calls within your expected time frame.

Assuming they really don't return your phone calls within a reasonable amount of time, then bring it up in a conversation the next time you go out on a date. If it's important to you and you feel the need to express that concern, then you should discuss it. I find poor communication is the primary reason for breakups. Just try not to make a big deal out of the subject matter when bringing it up. You can start the conversation by asking, "what do you think is a reasonable amount of time for people to return phone calls?" I am just curious. It can be that simple, you can get your answer in a casual way, express your perspective, and get some answers without be confrontational.

Good luck and God bless!! hug sad flower
Thank you, that is wonderful advice. angel
If you are having to wait for phone calls etc, then the chances are that the guy is not that into you. Sorry, but thats probably the case. A guy who really wants to make it happen with a girl he has met and is dating wont play it so cool that the girl might think he is not that bothered.
You shouldn't have to bring it up in conversation. For what ? Read the signs, otherwise what do you hope to achieve? To change the guy !??
Hi Ashley,

First thing EVERYONE has to be aware of is our OWN expectations of others. That's always the usual killer - providing we are both aware of what you expect of eachother in first place, then that's good communication!!! IF he actually does return your calls on the same day (hopefully in time to schedule a date that same evening) then that is a bonus!! Some dudes don't even return the call at all!

I guess it depends on how much time you are realistically giving him. Is he at work at that time?? If that is the case then I think you should cut him some slack. IF he is not busy though?? Well, i recommend you bring it up in a non serious manner, like does your phone have a time delay??? Ha, ha, hee, hee (It's not what ya say, but how you say it)Again, it does go back to how long you give him. More info please, cos that's is the crucial bit of info we do need in this scenario. And also the question is how often do you contact him through the day? You don't want to be too smothering either? Please don't take the questions above as personal, but we can help give better advice with extra info?? If we don't hear back, then good luck and all the best!!cool
it sounds like he's not that interested...if a guy really likes a girl..he will be calling you pretty dam quick..wink

never mind all these long winded replies to your post...because no-one is so busy they cant take two minutes to make a call..
Bah I need a woman like you who'd apreciate my attention..
