You meet a nice guy or girl and you hit it off. You got their phone number but how long should you wait before giving them a call?
If youve seen the movie Swingers, you know what Im talking about. Lets look at some of the possible scenarios you may find yourself in:
Call Right Away (within the first half-hour)
How you see it: Just making sure they got home safely; or you just really enjoyed their company and you wanted to talk some more
How they see it: I just talked to this person 30 minutes agowhat else could they want to talk about?
Call 3-6 Days Later
How you see it: Didnt want to seem too desperate and/or wanted them to spend a few days thinking about why you werent calling.
How they see it: They didnt call because they were trying to look cool; what do they look like again?
Call 7+ Days Later
How you see it: Been busy and havent gotten around to itmaybe the other person will want me more if I show them how little I care.
How they see it: Who are you?
The truth is, if you meet someone for the first time, how likely are they to remember you after a week? Now add drinks into the equation...
