You know what. I think her phone is broken.

There's no way her msg picks up between the 2nd and 3rd ring. It's off, or she's away on vacation and doesn't get service.



That being said, at the time it didn't seem stalker-like.

LOL. this thread is hilarious.
and i can't believe you are trying to justify your stalkerish and obsessive behavior.

Here is how a normal guy would have done it:
1. Call girl, leave message.
2. After a week, call girl one more time. leave message.
3. Forget about girl!

Easy, huh? You don't even know her....don't get so hung up on one girl :p

Keep in mind that she only wanted a big fat tip from you. I've gotten those waitresses before, they want nothing but your $5 bills.

E&I, man....Evil and Insane.

Women will f you up. They play games like that all of the time...little mind fvcking with ya.

Forget her...she sounds more I than E...you don't need that hassle.

Then again...you were a bit too obsessive on the phone calls there, dude.

calling 8 or so times is for sissy stalkers...get some guts and be a REAL stalker!

Go to her house at a time that you know she's home, like 2-3am and knock til she answers - then ask her to a movie, after you invite yourself in of course.

/edit...oh yeah, and be sure to take a buddies wallet with you. :p

Dude... *shake head*... sad. You must not get a lot of numbers.

You call once and leave a msg. Then if you really dig this girl you give her a call again a few days later and leave a msg. If she doesn't call back, let it go! Have a little pride, not like she's someone really important, you just met her! Calling her from behind a blocked number is totally stalkerish and a bit pathetic. What would you do if she picked up the phone? "Hey, it's me! No, I just called that once and left a msg, and just happened to call again after all those other missed calls.... yeah...."

BTW hate to burst your bubble, but *67 does not always work. When I'd call from my home phone and my friends phone (2 different states) the number would be blocked but the name would still show up on the caller id

I remember a girl awhile back giving me her number just so she can hook me up with one of her ugly friends.

Keep calling. She's just trying to see if you're really interested. But you need to up the frequency a bit, say a dozen calls and maybe 4 - 5 messages a day. If you don't, she's just gonna think you're a casual stalker and not really committed.

Okay.. I was in hops with a friend (who is a girl.. but just a friend) and the hostess is imo flirting with me. the girl I was with agreed.

On our way out I casually asked her if she had a b/f (she asked me if the girl I was with was my g/f earlier) and she said no. .I asked if I could get her # and call her sometime and she said sure.

The next afternoon I called. left a msg (something generic.. 'not doing anything tommorow.. wanted to see if your interested in a movie or something)

next day.. called pressing *67 (she cant see whos calling.. ) and there was no answer. did that twice..

third day.. pressed *67 and called maybe three times ( more like twice i believe.. ) no answer. finally called for real, no answer, left msg.

today. called once, mid afternoon, left generic give me a call msg.


So what's the deal. Wouldn't she have just said no if she wasn't going to want to hang out?? It's a cell phone btw. Usually her msg comes on after the second or maybe third ring.. which seems rather early.


What do you think? Should I go back to the restaurant and talk to her or just drop it all altogether..?


wow. I got embarrased just reading your post. You asked a waitress who (as someone pointed out earlier) wants your tip, for her number... and are now stalking her obsessively. Jesus man, "flirting" is what they do. OMG look, amanda left a heart on the check, I bet she likes me!!!

This is a shining example of YAGT what not to do with a phone number advice. We should sticky or FAQ this.
