I think it depends, if they say they will, and more than a day has passed, then 9 times outta 10, they ain't calling. So you wait one day. Then move on.
doberman3: When I hear this, I think either he will or won't. If he is really interested he will.
I guess women think the guy should call if he says he will. But we know, don't count on it.
Just wondering what is going on in CS guys minds about this, also, CS women.
I am not waiting for a call either. Just curious.

Anyone/everyone should do whatever they say they will - period, Anything else is dishonest - can't paint it any other color - except for the occasional slip up- forgetful moment...
if you do not want to talk with someone, tell them you have to go, but do not promise to call unless you plan to. And if for some reason you do promise to call and later regret making that promise - call anyway. It's ur integrity at stake. Just keep it short, and do not again promise to call in the future.
Thanks for the posts. I'm hoping a CS guy will confess and say, I did say that, and I didn't call. Then say why.
I liked crazy's answer that he would. Then, sorry, can't remember the CS lady, said she would always call. I try to stick to my word also. But I may have done it too.

Outofafrica: If they have'nt made a date,then they are probably not that into u and u will be waiting, waiting, waiting for that next call. Best to move on.
Merri: If a guy says he will call, I never hold my breath
I agree with you Meri, hope you are having a good day.
If it is a good match, they will but if it isn't, then they won't. I guess if you think about it, why would they call back if not interested, that would not be good.
Also, maybe saying I will call you back, is just plain a thing for guys to do. The date has ended and they want to go home.

Very good point, Out of Africa. If they really liked you, they would.
Right now I have been emailing with a guy. He gave me his phone number so that I could call him so we could talk more. He is suppose to call tonight after 8:30. I would say there are pretty good odds that he will. But you never know.
crazeddog1001: I know me, I am a man of my word. If I say I will, I do no matter what.
That is good of yoou crazeddog. I guess I am thinking, I would hope they would call me but if they don't, then I'm better off to find someone who will.
davpk10: Some beliefs about men and this calling thing is I am sure true ...but not always I think.... I for one am not a phone person ...I really would not call ,if you called me thats fine...however I would make a point to email or stop by your home to invite you out however....
I just simply am not a phone person...
Yes, Dav, that is a different way to look at it. Plenty of guys do not like to talk on the phone.
I think a email or stopping by the house to see me would be even better than a phone call. It shows you are interested.

I am not a phone person either,i only use the phone if its important and theres no other way around it,but if you call me i will answer...but i can type on here all day,funny isn't it....
It's been in my experiance (mostly my girls) that it depends on how and what he says. If he says, " Well, I will give you call somtime" or "I'll give ya call later" then he's still undecided and it's 50/50...give him 3 days and if he doesn't call no big deal. And if he is very interested then he will inquire at the end of the date as to another one. I have never had to deal with is he really going call?" Either you or he needs to initiate the second/third or fourth date. Don't accept emails...he needs to actually call you to ask you out...emails are INPERSONAL and non-committal. When starting off, your dates are where you detail your lives and personality..face to face is the best form of commuication. You never get the full picture from emails and texts bc %90 of all communication is non-verbal! Best of luck to you! oh and if he doesn't call there is no rule that says you can't call him!
Prettyuptowngirl: Ever watched the "Movie: He's just not that into you"? It has all the answers you looking for....
Hi Pretty, no I didn't just because I know the signs already.
But last night, I could not believe a conversation between 2 guys.
A guy was telling his bud all about his girl friend. He was so down on her. I guess she wanted to see him one time and he got with his friends instead. Maybe that was his only free night to do something. So instead of inviting her, he did saw his friends.
Then told her that his friends were important to him then her and they were not on that level yet.
Then she also told him she would like to have a phone call everyday and again, he told her, we are not on that level yet.
I couldn't keep my butt out of it and said, "doesn't sound like you like her that much", and brought up the movie title "He's just not that into you".
He seemed proud of himself when he talked to his friend, like how dare her to be talking to him about what was bothering him. He basically was telling you, this is how it is going to be, and if you don't like it, then .... (I guess).
I know there are 2 sides of the story. But he just seemed mean natured and not into giving much of himself. I had to leave because I just couldn't hear it anymore. What a date he would be, ha.

Hi Demon. I can talk on the phone, and type away both. But I do not have text messaging. I tried it and it drove me crazy.
But I do have a gal pal who is exactly like you. Maybe it is how your mind works.
Everyone thinks differently, so as long as you connect, that is what matters.
I have to wonder if there's something wrong with women's fingers when it comes to calling a man. I mean, they can call their mothers, their friends, and other people without any difficulty.
So much for equality, independence and all that other stuff.
Same thing for writing, usually seems to be the guy that is the one writing, and waiting for a reply, and not the other way around. I take the lack of communication to be a lack of interest, and leave it at that.
If women were seriously interested, they should also be making an effort to stay in touch, whether it's a call, an email, or whatever.

Kid, I think alot of it, is we are taught it is bad to call you at first. So that can stay with you. We are told and also think that he will think we are pushy and won't like it.
I called this guy first after emailing alot because I guess he had gotten to the point of wanting to talk to me and didn't have my number. He gave me his number to call.
I remember when a boyfriend was in Vietname, I wrote all the time.
I agree, it also could be a lack of interest. That is what I think of if the guy doesn't call me back. If he was interested, he would. I guess if they were to call back to tell you they weren't interested, it would hurt your feelings. So maybe it is better not to call back for everyone involved. You get the message for sure that way.
He diddddddddddd. Happy about that. He's going out of town on the weekend and won't be back until Mon or Tues. He said he would call back on one of those days.
I really like a guy who says he will call and does. Then further, says at the end of the conversation, when he will call again. It's good communication.
