Worrying when and how often to call is a symptom of the early stages of oneitis. Time to diversify.

I didn't mean to finger point, but I'm speaking from past experience. The only occasions I have worried about calling is when I put too much at stake on a single girl.

I'm only speaking from my own very recent experience. When she was into me, everytime I called, she was there, or her friend was there to pick up the phone and tell me call later. When she lost interest, I couldn't reach her in more than two weeks on the phone. I say, try again tomorrow, if no one answers, leave a message and try again in the evening. If no one answers, forget it!!

Initially I gave this girl a lot of benefits of a doubt---not home, busy signals, going on the net perhaps, etc. etc. I thought I overanalyzed...I thought it was only my insecurities...but no, it was real--as a girl told me, when she wanted to get a phone call, she would always make sure that she was there to pick up a phone...So true.

I disagree with the standard advice ...

I do not block caller ID, and I usually leave a message if she's not in.

I've found the ones who are genuinely interested *will* call back, *unless* they live with parents, housemates, etc., in which case they might not even *get* the message. If I hear a voice that's obviously not hers on the greeting, I'll rarelly leave a message.

If it's obviously a cell phone (i.e., the greeting gives you the option of paging them), you know they'll almost certainly get the message. But I did go out with one gal who got in the habit of deleting messages *just* after listening to them!

A lot of gals are hip to caller ID blocking, and spot patterns much more easily than you think. Be straightforward and save yourself the *time*.
