If you get any hint from her that you're annoying, then back off. Don't be stubborn, but don't act like a stalker either. One message is enough.

I was always told to wait for them to call but if they havent called after you called once, dont bother again. So far I find that to be true and effective.

This cute girl gave me her number last Thursday. We were talking about going to a christmas festival thing on Friday and when I called(on Friday) she told me that an old friend of hers came to town for a little while and she wanted to hang out with her while she could. She also told me in that same conversation that she still wanted to do something and that maybe we could go see a movie or something like that. I called her again two days later(sunday) and a guy(probably herbrother) told me that she wasat work. Today(monday) I called both her house and cell number and neither picked up.She has mynumber so it's not like she isnt picking it up because she doesnt recognize it. How much longer should I keep going at this, if at all?

Also, I'm pretty sure that she's single because I never see her with any guys and I saw her at a local social thing where every girl there was with her boyfriend and she was only with her female friend.

And as far as leaving a message goes, I would prefer not to do that because no one ever calls me back when I leave a message(girls and guys) and I don't want to turn into one of those people who leave like 10 messages thatkeep going on and on and then the ball is in her court and I would have to wait for a response from her(which I hate having to do with girls).

I'm probably blowing this way out of proportion but I don't want to come off as a stalker or annoying or needyor anything like that.

She's been out with her old friend and been to work. Little wonder she hasn't called you. She already told you she wants to do something with you on another day. It's only been a few days so you can't expect her to call you back straight away - after all you're not her boyfriend and she has her own life to live.

I'd leave it until maybe Thursday to call her again. If she still doesn't call back then consider her a lost cause.

Observe John Favreau (back when he was cool), and ask yourself where the cut-off point should have been.

Wait a couple of days and call once more. If she doesn't pick up, move on. If she calls back, great. If she doesn't, she probably doesn't care enough to call you back.

Know everything there is to know about her on facebook. Call at least 3 times a day, find out where she lives and works and follow her.

Twice is good. Not in a row though. I usually leave my phone unattended and don't answer people. So I think twice is a good number of times.

Usually when I call and they don't answer, I just wait to see if they call me back. If they don't, I'll call once more and leave a message, then if they don't get back to me that time I'll know for sure.

I'd call her once. If she has your number, then she'll notice that it was you that called her, so if she doesn't call back, she's probably avoiding you.

I usually give it around 200 calls, usually over the span of a few days. If she hasn't responded by call #200 then she clearly doesn't realize what a favor I'm doing her by offering to date her, and thus she isn't worth my time.

Once and always leave a message. If you don't leave a message you can't be sure that she will notice your call. If she doesn't call back after leaving a message, you can be almost certain that it wasn't going anywhere.

Some girls are just flakey. If she gave you an excuse and asked to set up something else, then she's probably not stringing you along. I'd leave ONE short message, and then its her move.

[QUOTE="weaselstomper50"]

I've been thinking a lot about this today and I realized, when I called her today and she didn't pick up, that didn't mean anything. I shouldn't be freaking out over the fact that no one picked up the phone this one time. They could have been out doing a family christmas thing and left her cell at home for all I know. I feel like this is something that I should have in the bag. Tomorrow I'm going to call again at the exact same time that I called the last time she answered and she's going to pick up the phone and I'm gonna tell her where we're going and we're gonna have a completely awesome first date. I'm not going to end up as some lonely neckbeard who pisses in a cup next to his computer and starts crying whenever a girl talks to him, dammit.

Also, bowling date = insta win8)

You should make a topic letting us know how that goes.

Once, once I think a girl has no interest I back off and find another one. The last thing a girl wants is some guy pestering her.

Call once and leave a message, if she doesn't call back and I like her I'd call once more after about 3 days. If she still doesn't call back I go into full stalker mode :twisted:

I'd say three times, max. So you call the first time and nothing. I'd wait a few days and call again. If still nothing, then I'd wait a week or so and give it the 3rd try. By that point, if she's not answering, it must be a waste of time.

you have her cell number, why did you call her house? that's just creepy. last thing, it's called texting, use it. stop calling her. if she doesn't want to talk to you, she won't pick up. but at least with text, she could be kindly enough to reply.
