Call me crazy…but at least call

When the movie “Clueless” came out in 1995, it was a little silly, but there was a lot of truth revealed within its ditzy hijinks. After Cher goes on a date with Christian, the cute new guy at her school, her voiceover expresses her surprise when the telephone rings and he keeps his word:

“Christian said he’d call the next day, but in boy time that meant Thursday. So, you can imagine my astonishment to hear from him [the next day]”. (Christian later turns out to be gay, which further supports Cher’s theory about heterosexual male calling patterns, as Christian is exempt from them.)

When I first saw this movie, I don’t think I was old enough for men and women to be playing the phone call game yet. I just thought it was a funny quip that reflected an old dating joke.

But here I am, more than ten years later, and I’ve met more and more men who follow that pattern. Most recently, this week.

He didn’t call.

He said he would, but he didn’t. At least, not yet. But I can’t just wait around all week, hoping hoping hoping that he’ll call and maybe maybe maybe schedule a date for this weekend. I just can’t! I have concerts to go to, movies to see, parties to attend. And if I don’t hear from someone early enough in the week, I just make plans. HIS LOSS!

Do you call people you’re dating when you say you’ll call them, or is it all part of exciting someone’s anticipation? Is Cher’s analysis pretty accurate when it comes to the calling game?

If someone doesn’t call when they say they will, do you assume it’s part of the game, or is it a reflection of the integrity/honesty of that person?

If you’re waiting for someone to call you for a weekend date, how late in the week will you put off making other plans? Have you ever broken plans you made with friends because your love interest finally called?

If you’re the one making the dates, how early do you try to call to make sure someone can “pencil you in”?

Morning ya’ll!!!

On topic she’s right. Guys are on their own call schedule. I personally don’t call, unless he calls first. I used to check the phone to make sure it works back in the day. Don’t do it anymore. If he calls, great. If he doesn’t, moving on … … . .

Off topic I have exciting news. Lol. I introduced my co-worker to online dating and she met a tall handsome 32 yr. old guy from East Point. She was not tryin’ to hear it about dating people from the internet, but after talking to her for months she finally broke down. They met last night at the mall around 6pm. I received a call shortly after that from her screaming “he’s so freakin’ cute!”. Lol. Later, around 10pm, she called me back. They were still at the mall! Lol. They walked around window shopping and ate dinner. Ahhhh. Gurl, they were literally kicked out of the mall when it closed. Lol. They sat in the car and lip locked for alittle while, then stood outside her car freezin’ to death trying to say bye. Lol. Anyways, the moral of this story is “there’s no difference between dating a guy from a club and dating a guy from an online dating service”.

For me, punctuality is important but not really. I myself am not beholdent to time.

So if I don’t get a call in a certain amount of time, it doesn’t bother me. The way I feel, catch me if you can. I personally believe that I’m in demand and I’m the catch.

Morning.

I try to call within the first few days, otherwise if you wait too long it can feel awkward having to explain where/how we met. You have to call while the impression you made is still hot! Now if you’re not really interested, then that’s something different.

Funny… my girlfriend and I were just talking about this last night. Here is what I don’t get - well, I get why guys/people do it, but I don’t get why they do it. If I call you early in the week and say “Hey, do you have any plans for Friday?” and he says “No” then I say “Okay, let’s X,Y,Z on Friday” and he says “That sounds cool, I’ll let you know…”

…huh??? Did you just say you didn’t have any plans??? Like I said — I get it, but I don’t get it. I realize the whole reasoning behind why people do it, but I work on a first come first serve basis. If I make plans with you, I keep them no matter what else comes up later in the week. I asked a guy over for dinner once and he gave me the “I’ll let you know line”, when he called back a few days later to confirm/agree, I just made it seem like I’d already made other plans….

That ish makes my butt burn!!!!!

@ Beutiful That was a sweet story; i hope it works out for them. The very same thing happen to me when I tried the internet dating thing. Unfortunately mine took another spin. Although he said he didn’t play the number game. he was always on-line seeking to find other possibilities. Kind of remind me of meeting a guy in the club. ( you can always expect him there every weekend doing the same thing he was doing when you met him)LOL. Anyhoo I hope it works for your friend.

Good morning! Did everyone arrive to work late today?

On topic…I usually keep my word…I call when I say I’m going to call. I don’t sit around and wait for anyone to call me. If a man doesn’t call when he say that he will, I take it as a lack of honesty/integrity. Our words are our bond. Say what you mean and mean what you say.

I don’t accept dates that are made after 8pm, Wednesday. I have too many other things that I would like to do. Besides, I don’t want anyone to feel that I’m easily accesible to them.

Have a great day!

If you’re waiting for someone to call you for a weekend date, how late in the week will you put off making other plans?

This doesn’t happen…I never wait on anyone to make plans. I simply do what I want to do and if I’m available come the weekend then it’s all gravy! I did have a guy I was dating before tell me that I need to step up my game if I wanted this to go anywhere though…

But I don’t think it would sit to kindly with me if a dude tell me he doesn’t have any plans and then i offer to make some and he’s like I’ll get back to you. I would probably read that as he’s waiting for a better opportunity. I want to date the guy where I AM that better opportunity!

Men the way around this problem is to instruct the women to call you at a specific time….ladies how do you feel about calling a man if you are interested in him….this way we can cut thru most of the bull-ish….like if you like me then you will call…if you dont then i know i have 3-6 months worth of impress me dates….so ladies would you call if your interested?

I think a lot dating miscommunication involves a concept touched on by SlimDiva.

Fact is hubris is killing the game. You ain’t “too good” for nothing. And the minute you get into your head that you are TG for him, that, there…you just cost yourself time and possibly a really good opportunity to get to know yourself.

Now I can be arrogant about myself (capabilities, accomplishments, etc.) but I’m never as crazy as to believe that I’m TG for anyone. By that same token there is a woman born of a man alive that is TG for me.

Good morning everyone. When a person says they’re going to call and don’t. THings happen. If you’re in a committed relationship, I think it’s a given you will have plans for the week-end. If you’re just met someone and ask someone out on monday. They may not have plans for the week-end. So they weigh their options so see whatels will come up. Sorry but it’s the truth.

My issue is when they volunteer to call, and then don’t. A guy I went on a date went went out of town. He told me that he’d call when he landed. I didn’t ask him to. Well, he landed and there was no call. When we finally connected I asked him if he simply forgot or if he wasn’t a man of his word. He had the nerve to get huffy because I called him out.

In any case, I try to be respectful of other people so I expect the same. If a guy calls me, I will call him back at my first opportunity. If he plays the “Clueless” game, I’ll give him the same treatment. Eventually, the game will get old and I will stop playing in it’s entirety. High school is over.

As for when dates can be scheduled… time waits for no man. If I’m free, we can work it out, if not, call sooner next time.

Peach He told me that we obviously had 2 different philosophies on dating. I was so laid back about it…it was a time in my life where i just finished my MBA program, getting over an ex, and I was just in kick-it mode. That could be with my girls or a dude…didn’t matter much to me. He wanted me to be a little more into the dating process. He actually told me that if I didn’t do something differently that in 6 months I would be wondering why he isn’t in love. This was Mr. Career….he was just intense about everything!

Why do you have to wait to be asked out. If you allow people to but you on the back burner, you will always be there.

Men the way around this problem is to instruct the women to call you at a specific time….ladies how do you feel about calling a man if you are interested in him

When you read some of the posts from yesterday’s blog and this question it makes me think that very soon…the roles will be so reversed that the men will be sitting at home waiting for the women to come and pick them up to go on a date.

But to answer your question, here are my thoughts. In the short time that you have to make a first impression you need to put your best foot forward. One thing that I always look for in a man is his ability to take charge and handle a situation. Most women still want to sit back and admire their man. Now, this doesn’t tell the whole story, but it gives insight to a man’s character and/mode of operation if he sets the stage and says that he’ll call as oppose to putting it off on you.

In reality, because that would be so different than what I’ve experienced, I would think something is wrong with the dude. I expect men to be able to handle rejection….they should have had practice at it through the years. I wouldn’t expect the opportunity to be rejected to make them not go for what they want. That’s a quality that I admire about men….they’re fearless!

Sorry for the long post…I’ll go sit in timeout

as far as talking on the phone goes…its just something women like to do and most men including myself dont like doing. But if are dating someone…i think u should call them or text them atleast once a day…by noon to make sure they made it up and at work okay…and if you are not going to hang or see each other at nite..by midnite…convo can be brief too….dont have to pull a “telephone love”…just a hey babe…thinking about you…enjoy your day/nite….is enough.

@Lady Dark Hellz naw. I had a female friend, less than two days ago that pursued a man that she was interested in. She got rejected and was devastated. I was happy.

Rejection is not something you get used to. And if you’re looking for a man that has, I’ll show you a guy with a callous where his heart used to be. And these are the guys, ladies, that you most often refer to as dogs.

Reason being, he’s been rejected by women he truly liked and no longer cares. So if that’s what you want, know what you are really getting.

Good Morning, all

I came out of lurking (and studying for final exams) to say that texting does not replace calling.

I am a Big Brother in the BBBS program. I tell my little brother this all of the time.

Texting is void of emotion. Something as simple as the work “OK” can means different things just by the way in which they are said. Texting leaves it up to interpretation in the way that the reader wants to believe it is.

That can lead to a lot of miscommunication, and problems. Plus, men and women need to know who to talk to each other anyways.

The roles won’t be reversed. It’s just that we’re all grown and responsible for our own lives and what we bring into our lives. If you want something in life you go get it. If you sit around at your job waiting for someone to recognize you for a promotion, it might happen, it might not. The promotion/advancement is more likely if you’re assertive and proactive about pursuing it. It’s true professionally, and it’s true romantically.

Dan I’m not talking about a man who has a callous heart, I’m talking about a man that doesn’t let rejection stop him. I didn’t say that he had to like, just that he can handle it.

Rell but that’s why we want the guys to call…to let us know that they are interested. And, I didn’t say that you guys should expect failure…you misread me. Again, I expect men to be able to handle rejection. For some it’s a motivator…

There’s no bigger punk than a man who gets rejected by a girl and then goes on to call a woman out of her name….

Beautiful Good hook up girl. If they get married..she had better make you her Maid of Honor.

Peach that means he’ll let you know basically if he hasn’t gotten himself a booty call set up or a girl he’s feeling more. They you would be the back up plan!

Oh I will leave 2 voicemails max….just in case you did not get the first one. After that….screw you! NEXT!

SJ calling the next day does not make you a buggaboo..it shows our interest. Now if you call just to hear me breathe or dial my back to back to try to make me answer or to listen to my voice on the voicemail…you are a friggin’ psycho and need help. If I tell a guy I am going to call him the next day. I try to remember to do so…or at least text him to let him know I am really busy and I can’t speak now and will call tomorrow.

This topic is purely a chick topic. Read how silly these comments are.. I had a life before I just met you and I will have one after you are gone. Grow up and stop playing the “he’s going to call me first” game or the I don’t want him to think I’m available even tho I ain’t got a life game. Yall always talking about honesty and integrity where is the honesty and integrity in saying you are not available when you know your lonely azz is. If you like him call him. It’s just that simple. Like I have said before.

This will be my last post on ajcblogs.com. Its the same conversations about single people unhappy that they are single(Get a life) The editor is single all her friends are single and whine about their unhappy single life. Please realize she gets paid based on how many comments she recieves from these blogs. Real single people are not even on this crap. They are enjoying life and outside mingling. Peace

AAA That is where you are wrong! The single that are on here share there experiences, good and bad to hopefully shed light on something. It’s cool to get other opinions from unbiased unknown parties. Getting a guys’ P.O.V on something is a good thing, whether we agree with it or not. Just because someone is single or married does not mean all in life is perfect.

On topic: If a guy does not call me…his lost!

Lw/2D’s I expect men to be able to handle rejection Why do you have this expectation? Rejection hurts a man just like it hurts a women. The number of times one has been rejected doesn’t take the pain away. So, men can expect women to be able to handle rejection as well. Right? When you say “stop them” do you mean stop them from pursuing you or stop them from moving on?

LadyJ I’m not down with the texting thing. To me it’s just one more way for people to keep tabs on you. I got a friend that text me allllll the fugging time and I her to stop but she keeps doing it so I don’t respond anymore. I mean if I don’t have time to call what makes you think I have time to text.

  • Why get involved with someone who ~off the rip~ thinks that you’re just sitting at home chillin everyday
  • He is not thinking that you are just sitting around chillin at home that’s why you lie to him and say you are not. Don’t tell me you are one of those ladies that will sit close to the radio while it’s playing SetOff and then call ole boy and tell him you are at a club but the song is almost over a dude hears Live at the Sannnnnnn Susy.

  • I’m the ish and if you don’t recognize that right off the bat…we are NOT compatible
  • That is your opinion plain and simple. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you thank not, then go work at a strip club. It’s sad but it is funny as hellz tho.

    @La “Bella” Mafia

    It ain’t really that serious on the calling situation!

    Dudes have problems sometime multi-taskin,so he may forget to call,so sometime,you gotta just pick up the phone and call ole boy ya damn self!

    Is this really 2007 and folks are still sitting around waiting for each other to call each other???

    I am the worlds worst,with calling chicks I am kicking it with.

    It is not that I think less of them or I am not interested, when I don’t call,I just got ish to do and as I said earlier, sometimes I forget to multitask!!

    I feel as adults, you have to find a neutral ground in communications.

    It should not be a situation of who calls who,it should be a situation of how well do we communicate when we do speak to each other.

    If a dude does not call you for days on end or you are doing most of the calling,then you may have an issue with his interest level in you.

    4Real I’m not talking about how one feels about rejection. Just that one can keep it moving. Don’t let the fact that you’ve been turned down by 1 or 100 women stop you from approaching 101. I do expect women to be able to handle rejection. That means don’t stalk, pull out your hair, etc…Rejection is apart of life….everyone has to learn how to handle it…Many can do it in a constructive ways where it benefits them…then there are those who have to have safety landing mats for everything they attempt in life…

    i may have a very busy lifestyle and my way to fit you in is to have you call me to take me off the beaten path for a much needed break

    Sexyleggs You are missing my point. Self worth is determined by an individual and no one should allow anybody to determine that. My point is I get to choose who is valuable to me. I never said that a person isn’t valuable. I said another person can’t tell me that they are valuable to me.

    Example: You drive by a wreck and someone has died. You may experience some brief remorse but do it stop your day? No, because that person life was of no value to you but that person life may have been the world to someone else.

    Some women are very suspicious, very analyzing, they want to know why, they never take what a man said literary; to them it got to have a meaning, it got to have something to do with their feelings. Women don’t like to feel easy, cheap and that’s the main problem. It does not change a damn thing in a man’s mind that you accepted a date after 8pm on Wednesday. It’s all in your twisted reasoning. If a woman is into you or she is secure and confident, she will not care about what you think or when you call, she will wait or go and get what she wants when she is ready. Contrary to men, women understand anticipation. Remember that women will complain all day that men don’t call them but, inside their minds, women (mostly young ones) hate predictable men.

    morning folks!!!

    SeanJ3000 “its just something women like to do and most men including myself dont like doing” NOT - I can’t stand chatting on the phone! Just call me to let me know where we’re meeting up so we can talk face to face, LOL.

    On topic - I don’t wait for anyone to call. If I give my number to a guy and he doesn’t call I just assume he changed his mind…If a guy gives me his number, I try to call him within the next 24 hours if I’m feeling him. Anything longer than that and I might forget.

    As far as making plans - if we’re not exclusive I will more than likely have plans. I don’t play the ‘accessible’ game either - if I don’t have plans on a Friday night and he calls Friday afternoon, we’re good to go. But 90% of the time, I have plans already.

    The guy that’s courting me now is not a phone talker, calls in advance to schedule dates - a real gentleman. I like that.

    Oh and I don’t do texts - most folks that meet me now get my Houston cell number and I’ve turned off text messaging. One guy was like, ‘you didn’t return my text!’ - how is that the way you communicate with someone the first time around? I can’t stand text messaging.

    And what I really hate is folks that send Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas texts to everyone in their phone! That ish irks the heck out of me! Thank God my friends all know it this year, I only got 2 texts at Thanksgiving compared to the 15 I got last year.

    Melo I’m 31 - and my situation??? I’m single if thats what you mean? Maybe you are being too hard… I don’t see the harm in a little kissing. I happen to really like it. I cannot even get into “rabbit dancing” without kissing. But anyway, I enjoy it and if we are really feeling each other and the date is going well and we’re each attracted to one another - what’s the harm? I love the excitement of waiting for a lot of things, but kissing isn’t one of them. I want a smooch by like the second outing, definitely by the third. Thoughts?

    I think that it just shows good respect for peoples time if you can plan enough in advance for an upcoming outting and set the time/date for it. I have found that this is how most people who have busy schedules and common decdency behave-men and women.

    Good Afternoon All! Busy day, actually had to do some work today.

    On topic-If I’m out and about I met a guy, we exchange numbers cool. If he calls me fine, if not fine. I look at things a little bit differntly, than let’s play the wait game. If this brother is busy, I can certainly understand. When he does give me a call later on in the week…good to know that I he was thinking of me. If he never calls me I always assume one of two things it wasn’t meant, or to he lost my number. While I’m sure that we are all hopeful of people we come in contact with, hell I expect nothing to flourish, unless both of us wants it to. Too much game playin goin on. That’s why so men hate rejection, and women long for SO’s. Be honest be real. Anything built on lies and games, is sure to be a dud from the start. If he or she don’t call, move on I’m sure you’ll encounter many more. Too many single folks in da A, to play the waiting game.

    I’m with 404,

    I love kissing,(and I’m good at it), where I disagree is that the priviledge of my kiss is something that is (to a degree) is earned.

    I might like you, I might even want to spend my precious free time with you, but until I feel like I have to kiss you, not happening.

    Off Topic -

    Breaking News

    Atlanta, Ga. (AP) -A nine-year old boy was at the center of a Douglas County courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. Initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulation requiring that family unity be maintained to the highest degree possible. The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her.

    When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the Boy cried and s aid that they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.

    After two recesses to check legal references and confer with the child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody of the minor child to the Atlanta Falcons, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

    So…um, how is that the only way to reach you? You can both receive texts and voice calls on the same phone, right? Or do you just ignore the phone when it rings and just respond to texts?

    M’Karyl Thought this deserved to be reiterated: I do not need someone to do what I want, but rather just to do as they say will be done.

    That sums it up. We all have important things to do. But it’s just as important to keep your word, hence the saying “Word Is Bond”. If I say I’m going to do something, that is what I do. You’d expect other adults to behave the same way, without all of the excuses and the “well, I know I said I’d call, but why can’t she call me?” b!+ching.

If you get asked on a date friday night and in your heart would like to go, then go. Don’t deprive yourself of the wonderful things in life because of socialization and norms.
