Making the first call always makes me a little nervous...

[BigToque]

I met a girl this past weekend and I'm gonna call her for the first time tonight. I don't know why I always get nervous.

I <3 girls

update:

Well, I phoned just before 7:00 and got her voicemail. Left a message saying I would try calling again around 9:30. Called just before 9:30 and got voicemail again. This time left a message saying I had a good time with her on saturday and to call me back when she had a chance.

Oh well, we'll see what happens...

Rule number 1, don't ever call them. Let them call you.

I always make a point of having sex with any girl I meet on the first night so that calling them later in the week becomes a no brainer.

what happened to the 3 day rule?

That's a terrible rule. I phone when I am available to make a call. I was terribly hung over all of sunday and felt like crap. Today I feel good, so I'll call today, after 2 days.

Just do it

Good luck with that strategy.

That rule is really stupid IMHO. If you met this girl at a bar or club the odds that she was approached by many guys (if she's attractive) is very high. Unless you made a startling impression on her then she'll prob. have a vague and distant memory of you in 3 days. I always call the next day or even the same night with some playful texting. I want to be the last person they are thinking about before they go to sleep.

I say wait until one of our few female members stumbles across this thread and tell you how the first call should be made, straight from the horse's mouth so to speak

Good<->Luck

Different strokes for different folks. Personally, I make enough of an impression during the first meeting that I can afford to wait... string them along... then call right when they're going nuts wondering what they did wrong to keep me from calling. Works even if they ARE already taken. At least for me.

should have just left a message the first time around.

Well, according to one poster in that youtube video that tm37 posted (which made me cringe btw) is "No answer is an answer... "

No biggie though... I can't expect everyone to like me just because I liked them for an evening.

I've talked to many girls who say they will not return a first phone call no matter how much they might like a guy. Something along the lines of "If he gives up after one missed phone call, he's not worth my time" kinda thing.

Anyway, whatever happens, happens. If she liked me, she'll call back. If not, she wont. Life goes on

that scene is sooooooo painful to watch.

Mike: So how long do I wait to call?
Trent: A day.
Mike: Tomorrow.
Sue: Tomorrow, then a day.
Trent: Yeah.
Mike: So two days?
Trent: Yeah, I guess you could call it that, two days.
Sue: Definitely, two days is like industry standard.
Trent: You know I used to wait two days to call anybody, but now it's like everyone in town waits two days. So I think three days is kind of money. What do you think?
Sue: Yeah, but two's enough not to look anxious.
Trent: But I think three days is kind of money. You know because you...
Mike: Yeah, but you know what, mabye I'll wait 3 weeks. How's that? And tell her I was cleaning out my wallet and I just happened to run into her number.
Charles: Then ask her where you met her.
Mike: Yeah, I'll ask her where I met her. I don't remember. What does she look like? And then I'll asked if we f*****. Is that... would that be... T, would that be the money?
Trent: You know what. Ha ha ha Mike, laugh all you want but if you call too soon you might scare off a nice baby who's ready to party.
Mike: Well how long are you guys gonna wait to call your babies?
Trent, Sue: Six days.
