1. Someone calls you at 11:09pm and you were out of the room maybe in the bathroom and you call back at 11:16pm and GET NO ANSWER??


2. Someone with a Private Number calls you and you were not available and they don't LEAVE A MESSAGE?



Any one of these things get under anyone elses SKIN?

It doesn't bother me too much. Sometimes people will call on there way out the door to see if you're home so they can stop by. We do this with my mother-in-law.

Nope. If they didn't leave a message, oh well.

Also, I have Caller ID number block which means anyone with PRIVATE NUMBER, HAS TO RELEASE THEIR NUMBER IN ORDER FOR THEIR CALL TO COME THROUGH.:D

Well since I'm a guy I have to accept block numbers because if I leave my number to a girl on the dating service, she will have her number blocked until she talks and get to know me and if I didn't acce[pt blocked calls I maybe missing out on a nice attractive female.l

Well, you need to accept that fact abt the private number appearing, since you are dealing with online dating services. Secondly, if they don't leave a message it is probably because they don't feel comfortable leaving a message. My boyfriend is like that, he hates answering machines and refuses to leave a message, unless it is important.

Yeah someone called this morning at 11:30am under a private number, which was a ODD TIME but I stilll missed an opportunity to get to know a New Girl-lol

I don't think I would ever call someone for the first time at 11:30 in the morning

That's me. I never leave messages unless absolutely necessary. I hate talking to a machine.

Why do you assume it was a girl? It could have been anyone.

Yes, but mostly my family are the only ones who call me that late. I know what you mean about calling nearly minutes later and not getting a response. It's, like, "You JUST had your phone and now don't answer???" Weird... :crazy:

2. Someone with a Private Number calls you and you were not available and they don't LEAVE A MESSAGE?
Oh, I screen all my calls. I especially never pick up "Unknown" or private numbers. I figure if they are a real person and really wanna get ahold of me, they'd leave a message. Otherwise, the call isn't an authentic one for me.

Same goes for me. For example, I call my grandma every day, and it rings 5 times before the answering machine kicks in...If she doesn't answer by the 5th time I just hang up, call right back, and if she doesn't answer again, I just hang up and try later. Those things make me uncomfortable.

I meant to say that woman have done that and we haven't met FACE TO FACE yet. Now if we met and went on a first date and clicked, then I would love calls like that because I would know she is thinking of me. But before the actual meeting, very unecessary

She makes it sound like she lapsed into a quick coma for the night and made a quick recovery once morning arrived. Geez....What a lousy excuse.
