Would you date a local man who e-mails but never calls? (70)
I would expect a high level of interest which this man is definitely not showing 
No rules here on that front, but it's easy to tell when someone wants you and when they don't, it's that simple

hi, ML
yep, what serene said...the same works for me...it is easy to spot if a man is interested and having to wonder about it is a bad sign...

missingLondon: I exchanged e-mails with a man I met online for three weeks. We had one date that went well. However, when I called him and asked if it was a good time to talk, he first said yes then cut me short and said we speak on Saturday. He only called twice in 3 weeks, once to reassure me that he was not married. When I made it clear, as he was planning ahead for us to be in a relationship, that I expected at least a call a day from someone I get into a relationship with, he answered by e-mail that he had to think about my message and get back to me the next day. I told him not to bother and cancelled the second date. He's local but claims not to have a landline, drives a very expensive car, yet says calls on a mobile are too expensive. I felt this man could not give me the attention I needed and as he lied about his age when we first sent e-mails, felt I could not trust whether he was telling the truth about being divorced. What kind of attention do you expect from someone you're in a relationship with or are considering a relationship with?
sounds very dodgy to me ... you were right to dump him ... total honesty is paramount and if they cannot be bothered to call on the phone and are not just dying to hear your voice ... well why bother??

It depends on how much you like him. Maybe he has some reasons which he cannot tell you before he gets to know you better.

I can't imagine what reasons a man might have for not calling. He lied about his age online and that made it difficult to trust him.

I don't think I was pushy. We were e-mailing a lot. What difference does it make if instead of e-mailing you phone?

It's amazing isn't it - these guys usually start out guns blazing but then the reality of how much time and effort they are really prepared to give you becomes clear. I'm sure that you really started to have hopes about this guy and I'm sorry to hear that he's disappointed you.
I absolutely agree - if they are keen you'll hear from them daily. If they are keen, you never have to worry about when they'll contact you because they always do. Wiht kindness, I'd say he's married and perhaps, wondering whether or not he should tell you. The inability to talk on the phone at certain times is the give-away for me.
The no-landline thing is something that used to make me nervous but it's increasingly common nowadays for people not to have a landline. This makes it even more likely that they have a good cost effective mobile deal because it's all they use. So his excuses about the cost of mobile contact is pretty lame and I suspect the real reason he's saying this is that he is married and knows he cannot talk on the phone freely a lot of the time.
You are absolutely in your rights to expect better than this. This guy is not treating you like you are special - he is treating you like an afterthought. Life is too short for that.

If a man penny pinches on phoning a lady he's not worth bothering with. Relationships require time and effort.

He is local? And he does not call you other than the one time?
he is clearly not interested enough. Emails seem to help some men pass the time and that is all. If a man is serious about wanting to get to know you, he will want to be in touch with you using different media.
I bet if you mention skype and how it would be completely free to talk via the internet, he would have a reason not to use that either. Try it and see.
