aite real talk. I know all of ya'll have been in that position at some time or another where you get a girls number and you debate if you wana call back right away or make her wait. Or when you do call and she don't pick up and you debate wether you should call again...How many times is cool to call back and not be considered a stalker if there aint no answer..1? 2? 3? 100? how long do u wait between the calls...?
Id like to think that the whole phone issue when u meet someone is simple...but sadly i realize its not. I thought i was beyond the whole awkward initial phone thing, but im not.
See im in cali right now for the summer visiting family and hardly knowing n e one to just kick it with until yesterday when i was at the dentist and these 2 girls that work there holla'd at a playa knawmean ;) i left not only with a set of crispy clean teeth but with a number. so i go home and dont call the same day but the day after which is today and one of em picks up and tells me that she n her friends wanna show me round the area and kick it with me. so i talk for a bit and then got off the phone. a bit later i called her back to ask her some detail...and got into a conversation that was cut short by my fam that wanted me to helpem out withsumtin. i sed id call her back and she sed cool...so i did after a while and there was no answer. i tried again after 5 min and left a msg. then after half hour i tried again..still no answer. now u might say im desperate...lol keep in mind i have no life here cus i don't kno n e one..these girls kno that too. however i could not shake this feeling i had by the end where i just felt dumb, like i was back in grd 7...like i tried too hard. :smh: . so i dunno this is what sparked this topic. let me know what yall think...and share your insight about the phone game...im especially interested in a shorty's point of view. also tell me if it was my bad with those phonecalls... and my bad for the long post...i have the time

from a girls point of view, just don't get on that stalker status, cuz once you make it onto that level, its not easy to get off. but i mean basically, maybe somethin just came up that she didnt answer when you called, but i would give her a chance and wait it out today and if she doesn't call back just give her a call tomm., she's prolly gonna call you today, just give it time but i think you've called enough for a little while, either that, or if you do hear about something going on tonight, call her if you got plans to see if she wants to join, but don't go callin her to see when she can chill with you cuz your just gonna look real desperate which really isn't cute, theres somethin cute about tryin and the chase, but not when it comes to callin every hour even ya know... good luck, hope it helped a lil at least

Depends on my perception of the guy. Once you left a message and no return, you should have called the next day.
