Terrified of the Telephone
April 28th, 2005 by BevinWhat is it that makes guys so damn scared of the telephone? Now, I’ve read He’s Just not that Into you and I know that if a guy really likes you then he will call…but how often and when? It is one of my personal pet peeves when someone says that they will call and then they don’t. I’m not the type of girl who sits around waiting for my phone to ring…but I am the type of girl who always carries her cell phone with her and knows when someone has or has not called. Call it mobile-waiting…one step up from sitting and waiting. Who created these rules that you can’t call the day after, you have to wait a certain number of days before calling to ask for another date, even if you had a great time on the first date? How frustrating. Perhaps guys think that if they call, they’re going to get wrapped up in a four hour conversation. Not so. It tends to make girls so happy when their boyfriend calls even for ten seconds to say “Hi, I can’t talk right now but I just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you.” Too often guys think about calling…and then don’t! Let me give you a little advice that my friend gave her now-ex-boyfriend, “If you’re thinking about calling, do. You should always err on the side of calling.”
Telephones. They’re really not that scary.

Guys aren’t the only ones who are afraid of telephones… I personally have a female friend who screams and calls for her husband whenever the phone rings. I myself am honest when I say I will call a woman, and frankly I’ve experienced a lot of women telling me they’ll call, which they never do. So just remember that it does go both ways - it’s usually just the nicer person’s feelings being taken advantage of - so be glad you’re the nicer person.

The guy I am *trying* to date (I say “trying”, because between our schedules and his “manness”, it’s been pretty trying for me…) said we’d go out this week after our date last week, and never called. Monday, I was going to be in his neck of the woods, and I called him to see if he still wanted to go out. When we got to dinner, he told me that he was waiting on me to call! How very un-50’s. The kicker was when he said that he thinks it’s much more important to call after sex than just a date…so *that’s* what I have to do to get him to call! What?!?
