How long to wait for a guy to reply?

Hi

A guy I spent about 16 hours with (second meeting, first date) flew back to his town and then I tried to contact him the next day but got voice mail. After telephone tag, he left me a message saying he had a great time on the weekend, that he was going away for 3 days, would call when he gets back 'at some point.'

I did not call again or anything, I waited a week - then I sent an email being honest about havnig had a great time wtih him and how I would like to see him again - get together in the next month or two a few times and see where things go. I said I wasn't looking for serious commitment, and even told him I had another date planned. I asked him if he wouldn't mind telling me what he thought, and I flirted a bit talking about massage oil with his name 'all over it.' ; )

I've waited another week - so far he has not responded to my mail or called again. How long can go by before a guy will still respond?

help, I really like him.

If you're just looking for a fling with this guy, then everything's cool!

Good for you! See how things work out with him and what he's really like. One thing I know, men don't necessarily call back as soon as women would like them to. Whether they're really interested or not. It's possible he's really as wrapped up in his work as he says. Why not give it a try?

Yes - I'm totally cool with the conversation yesterday, in fact, I feel so much better today it is incredible. I'm not banking on hearing from him again, but I think he just might call in a week or 2.. and if he does, I'll be throwing ICE on myself!!! lol
