2 Days Before He Calls- Too Long or Too Short? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Wreckless · 07-11-2009, 01:02 AM

I was talking to a friend of mine today about girls, relationships etc. and we came across debating the "2 day rule" when it comes to building relationships, which is that it used to be a guy after getting a girl's number should wait 2 days then call, not to seem desperate, but don't wait a week or longer, so the girl knows he is at least interested to talk to her. I am in favor of debunking the rule. I think if the number is given, use it...and hesitation is stupid as hell, or else you're wasting an opportunity, generally speaking. What do you think of this rule- girls and guys? Girls, what is your reaction, and what would your advice be, and guys- what do you think?

btw, for all of y'all in relationships or engaged/married, I'd still welcome & respect ur opinion on this subject matter.

I agree with you, Kyle... I mean, if I gave a guy my number, I'd be really happy if he called the next day... if he called later the same day, I'd think it was a little desperate... depends on the guy though.

Exactly.. I mean, if you like her.. CALL HER! I hate it when people try to "come off as" something that they're not.

Be yourself, Kyle.

I think two days seems reasonable. Like Mattie said, the same day would seem a little desperate. I think longer than 2-4 days isn't good-it just sends the message that you're not interested.

I think if a girl gives you her number she would expect a call if not that evening then the next day at least.

MickeyMac · 07-11-2009, 02:18 PM

If a girl gives a guy her number she is obviously interested. If she gives him his number on a Friday, that guy should call by Sunday evening at the latest. Thats what I would do because I wouldnt want her to think I was too desperate. If you wait till Monday then I think that might be too late. Then again I guess it depends on the woman.

the next day is fine, but never the next morning because someone might be still hungover and not remember the other person and then it gets REALLY AWKWARD.

I agree I think two days is resonable.

Janice Johnson · 07-13-2009, 07:53 PM

If you wait two minutes, he might think you're desperate. RUNAWAY FROM THIS PERSON worthy.

If you wait two days, he might think you lost his number.

Maybe one day is reasonable.

So is calling her on her cell phone right after she gives her number too soon?

When I was still dating I would usually call the following evening, sometimes I would just ask when it would be a good time to call them.

The situation with my wife was a little different since since we knew each other, shared a road trip together, and went to dinner and a movie together before we even actually went on our "first date"- all the rules were out the window on that one.
