the good ones never call.
i'm not sure this is true but this phrase is often batted about my group of single girls. i think it's more the ones we hoped were good ones never call.
you all know this scenario. you are out and about. you meet a man. he's charming. he acts interested. he insists on buying your drinks. he asks for your number. maybe even throws out ideas of potential dates. you get home and smile to yourself because he will be calling you.
then he never calls.
(and then of course the ones that you don't like and feel trapped into giving them your number OR a friend gives them your number ALWAYS call)
this, my friends, is a summary of my saturday evening. he was great. i even had a guy friend of mine comment on how the guy was working and "you never see guys put effort like that into it anymore."
*sigh*
i don't get it.

Perhaps he went out of town for work or something important came up in his personal life. Although it would probably be best to not dwell over it, don't discount him just yet. You never know what disturbances are happening over in boy-land. Easier said than done, I know...
very true, i guess. i'm not getting my hopes up though.
remember, though, rj, it has only been a few days...
it's better than them calling you right away, you freaking out but deciding you need to call them back, calling them back, them saying it's a bad time and they'll call you later and THEN they never call.
oh! i've never had that scenario happen. egads...i will count my blessings ;)
he won't call. i'd bet on it.
BODS...it was only Saturday. I would give him a chance to call. Maybe he doesn't want to seem OTT.
RJ: Remember the guy rule, always wait at least two-three days before calling. We all know you are amazing and he would be an idiot not to call you.
So, have faith...he will call and if he doesn't take solace in the fact that you avoided going out with an idiot :).
"the ones we hoped were good ones" Ha! Isn't that the truth?!?!?!
oh man i know exactly how this feels. this seems to happen to me way too much. which is why sometimes i just stop expecting 'em to call. but of 'coz sometimes it takes the guy over a week to call and then we go out and have a great time. and make several plans to meet up which fall through and THEN he stops calling. so okay maybe that didn't work out either haha!
Hey, have you got one of those phones that only does incoming calls or something? Pick up the phone and call him yourself (don't forget the three day rule, of course).
If you liked him it makes no sense to do nothing, expect him to call and then get disappointed when he doesn't. I recon either he thought "yeah she's nice, we had a nice time but I don't feel any great potential" or he thought "it could be nice, but maybe I'm looking for someone more easy going" (this is speculation - I could be completely wrong about you).
Either way a call would be a pleasant surprise for him and you don't have a lot to lose. Plus if he is as great as you say he is, he'll soon find someone else if you don't get him.
I dont pick up if they call after 3 days, but if i grant them the benefit of the doubt, I expect some explanation as to why they didnt call earlier. If its over 5 days, I dont pick up - theyre just not that interested or have something else (or 5 other girls) on the go.
Don't worry you'll meet a cool guy who will call the next day and who will even dismiss the 3 day rule! But generally expect the worst until proven otherwise, to avoid disappointment!
Hey, I had almost the same experience like you. Well, what can I say, it's sucks. Do not call him, girls like us deserve better.
