YAGT - caller ID and messages

[Special K]

When you guys call a girl for the first time to ask her on a date and you don't get an answer, what do you do? Originally I thought not leaving a message and trying back periodically would be a good idea, but nowdays everyone has caller ID, so having your number on her phone 10 times probably seems a little stalker-ish.

On the other hand, I know people who will never leave messages when they are trying to ask a girl out.

Thoughts?

If you call me and I'm not home, then leave a damned message. I can tell you called so just say what you have to say on the answering machine or voicemail and be done with it. I'll either call you back or I won't.

I can't stand people who call and don't leave a message. What am I? A fvcking mindreader? Leave a fvcking message!

If someone calls me when I'm not there to pick up and doesn't leave a message, I assume it wasn't important and forget about it.

If you want a call back, then you need to leave a message, period.

Depends. Sometimes I don't mind having voicemail messages, but I tend to just call the person back.

If you were calling to ask a girl out, then it would probably better to leave a message and not repeatedly call back.

For real...I don't know why anyone would just keep calling back...that'd be creepy.

Leave a message and be done with it.

A bit of overanalysis IMO. As long as there aren't 10 of your number on her caller id you're cool.

one call, one message

state my business, and if she wants to call me back thats her choice

If it's important leave a message.

++ Yes. This is the only way to do it. If she doesn't call back, maybe call once more after 4-5 days, but don't call again after that (if she doesn't call you back after the 2nd time). Then it's over dude.

Call ONE time, leave ONE message.

Alright, well I already called once without leaving a message last night before posting this, so here it goes again for the one (and last) time (and with a message this time).
