when to call

[Egocontrol]

I took this girl to a party last night and we had a great time alot of flirting and some kissing. At the end of the night i gave her a kiss goodnight and left. My question is when do you call them. Do you call them a day later, two,?

call 24hrs, 26 minutes and 12 seconds later. Statistically proven to work.

Seriously though, I would say it really doesn't matter as long as you dont come off as needy/clingy in your phone interactions. Keep it short and to the point.

I generally call the next day unless I'm really busy and can't make the call. I noticed that the longer it takes for me to call, the more flaky the girl will be. Waiting periods are stuipid, but hey, each to his own.

If a girl is interested in you, she wont think less of you if you call her the next day, in fact, it will increase her interest and make her like you more. If she's not interested in you, waiting 2-3 days wont make her interested, it will just distance her even more.

It doesn't really matter how long you wait, as long as you don't call 16 times in a row. It's not when you call, it's how often. It's fine to call a girl the day after you get her number, but you shouldn't call her two days in a row, unless you have to.

Also, like as DonJuanQuixote said, it's more important to not look needy when you call.

Personally, I call when I can. I'm a busy guy, both with school and with my social life, so I call girls when I happen to have time. I always make the first call within a week, but it's really between one and seven day. Usually 3-4 days though.

Wow, what a unique question. It is amazing that it has never, ever been asked before in the entire history of this site.

If you call the next day, you are being predictable, and look needy, and it works better if you make her think and wait at least one day, you should know this, it even in the movies!!!

This is one of the biggest myths out there. Like you said, it's in all the movies, everyone's seen Swingers, this is nothing new.

All of my male friends wait 2-3 days before calling.

All my female friends/former roomates KNOW that guys wait 2-3 days just to look cool, not because they're actually busy. Girls are not stuipid, they know which guys are stock brokers who spend 24 hrs on the phone, and which guys sit at home playing hard to get.

There is NOTHING unique about calling 2-3 days, it's a social norm nowdays, almost every guy does it. Don't kid yourself, it's very predictable.

If the girl thinks you're hot and you wait 2-3 days, they'll probably let it slide, but if they were only moderately interested, the waiting period will turn them off, and they'll flake on you. My wingwoman does it all the time.

I'm telling you from field experiance, the best way to prevent girls from flaking out on you is:

1.) Ask her out first before asking for her number. If you jump right to the number close, that's all you will get, a number.
2.) Call the next day.

I agree.
Actually it's more unpredictable to call the next day. Women know about the time frames--my brother called a girl once (I guess the next day) and she actually said she was "surprised he didn't use the 3 day rule"
They ended up dating for a year.
