Bad sign???

Ok, cute, single guy came in on Sat to ask for my phone # and asked if he could call me that night. I let him know I already had plans and he said he would find a more convenient time and "We'll talk soon." It is now Monday, 10 pm and still no phone call. Why would he take the time to come all the way to my work on his lunch break to get my # if he isn't gonna use it? I'm beginning to wonder if he took my "I'm busy tonight" as a "I'd rather you not call"??? Am I being paranoid here? How long does it usually take a guy to call after he gets the number? Did I say something wrong to him already???

I HATE DATING!!!! ( But at least it's not XMM I'm freaking over!! )

Relax will ya men don't tend to sit around obsessing about these sort of things like women do....he'll you when he does, for him it has not been a long time.

If he was put off that easly then it would suggest that he could end up being more trouble then he is worth.

Any new R after an A will be a challenge IMHO. The A messes with our heads, we are constantly fighting off the mm who thinks of everything to get to us. Normal R's aren't the same. Hang in there and just take it as a good sign...he cared enough to ask for your number, AND....also remember you never know what is going on in THAT persons life, who they are seeing, trying not to see, etc.........KWIM?

Well it's Wed morning, CSG (cute single guy) still hasn't called. By tomorrow I usually already have my weekend plans in store. Should I still make my normal plans or should I keep my weekend open "just incase" ? Once I make plans with my friends I don't want to call and say "Forget it, I'm going out with CSG." (though, they would totally understand at this point!) Starting to lose hope that he'll ever call. (He got my # on Sat!)I just don't know how to read men, since the A with Xmm totally screwed me up. Is it normal for a guy to wait this long to call? Or is he just not gonna????

Hey pal,

As a woman myself, my guess is Wed. is too early for a lot of guys to be planning for the weekend. If I really wanted to go out with CSG, I would keep the weekend open until Friday - but that is just what I would do.
I think this is "generally" true for all kinds of guys, MM too....
