3. they are not that into you. when they are they will call.
i am not being mean, but just stating the truth.

when a man wants you and likes you, he will call.

if he is feeling lukewarm towards you, he might not call.

30. I guess it depends on the guy, I've talked for hours on the phone...
with women I'm interested in, almost every day for the past 3 weeks or so, in fact.

33. I think you're right... people are different so it varies...
For some guys they just don't like the phone... for others maybe they're just not that interested.

I'm alone though, so... *sigh*

I wish... oh how I wish...

34. Oh redqueen, I wish I could say that everything is going to work out...
but life doesn't work that way. I know what its like being alone, to suffer heartache. The only thing I can say, I don't know if it will help, is that, sometimes, opportunities arise from unexpected corners. I wish that I could say something to make you feel better, but all I can offer is this:

27. I hope you are not suggesting that vice is exclusive to men.
Both genders seem equally adept at spreading falsehood, in my experience.

Of course, I'm probably lying about that. Unless you were lying in your post. Now I'm really confused.

28. no, I was just being flip ...
both genders lie, and as a guy I have seen the other side of it, too.

Men say they'll call when they don't intend to because they are afraid to say that they really aren't interested. Avoiding a potential confrontation.

Also, they may not call because they get the jitters after the fact. Intimacy scares lots of people.

No point burning daylight on the telephone if he said everything he wants to say on the date.

25. Men just don't know how to talk with women.
I think that's why they don't call. They think, "well, what would I say?"

17. Women are always welcome to call too. What happend to equality?
Some men are shy and wonder if you're interested in them. Some will wait for you to call them as confirmation of your interest. Some will wait a while before calling so they don't seem too eager or desperate.

I always call, I don't wait so many days or whatever. I usually mention I had a good time and am looking forward to seeing her again. But I don't get many dates so take this with some salt.

23. Two possibilities:
1. They did not think the date went well and, therefore, don't want to talk to you, OR

2. They have nothing in particular to say. Men telephone to relay specific information, not to share emotions.

26. Blame caller ID. Now they all know if you're calling from that payphone by their bathroom window.
Why don't men call? Why don't you lose the Venetian blinds, sister?!

37. Because we are scared to death!
Did she sleep with me because we were both langered? How friendly should I be? How unfriendly should I be? It was a sick bet with one of their girlfriend's and she lost? If I call to soon she will think I am one sad bastard. Should I play hard to get? You slept with her you daft fucker you weren't that hard to get. What was her name? She might not even remember who I am? Did I miss dial or did she give me the wrong cell # on purpose? For fuck sake I can't call now I'm a mess. That about sums up the internal dialog the day after.

39. I'm more interested in why people lie about that stuff.
Why say "I'll call you" if it's not true...bad karma.

Of course it could just be when they sober up they change their mind or something. :shrug:

47. Whenever I haven't called it was always because....
I was afraid of being turned down, the girl coming to her senses or something like that.... In the few cases that I did not call, I though the girl was WAY OUT of my league and I was afraid she might realize it....
