What is the correct protocole when you meet a new guy you like and you both exchange numbers and emails. Who should call who and when ?
Some would say never call, let men do the chasing but if your really interested what do ou do ? I am not a teenager dating, I feel if I want to see or talk to someone I like I just call but seems to not have work out in m relationships.
I guess I am the type that does the first moves but I sometimes wonder if that makes me meets men that wont take me serious. I am looking for a serious relationship. I want to meet that real relationship. The guy you marry not just date.
So when you find one you like what is the protocoles in who calls, who first.
What do you think ? if you act interested or to available does it really play on your future relationship. Should we play hard to get.
Looking for some tips.

Seriously though, if you want to talk to a guy, make the call. Or send him an email inviting him to meet you for coffee or lunch. You don't have to go overboard telling him you like him, or what a great time you had with him. Just look at it as an opportunity to make a new friend and go from there.
Well here is the follow up to my last posting, I did call my dream guy and he did pick up, we had a nice chat for a good half hour about nothing to serious just chitchat about the party where we met and and how it finish. It was last thursday evening, I called and I did come out and say honestly, I was not sure we would get to see each other or even talk again but I am happy we met and I look forward to seing you again, he said me too of course. It was a good sign that he did not blow me off since he was at home with some friends and he did introduce me by giving the phone to a friend of his. We mention that it would be nice to see each other but he was on holidays till monday this week and I could not take a day off.
He wrote me an email the next day because he wanted to send me pictures from of me and him at the party. Here is what he wrote:
It was great talking to you too ! Yeah, we definitely have to try to hook up
soon. My Sat and Sunday nights are booked up this weekend, so it'll probably
have to be next weekend I guess...
Nice pictures....:-)
Talk to you soon !

So I wrote back and said sure I will prebook you for next saturday. Which is this coming weekend, I have no news yet and I can see the weeekend getting here and I have no solid plans with him, no feedback...Should I send an email saying hi how are you, how was your holiday and then ask if we are still on for saturday ?
What would you do. I just wish it was simpler like him calling tonight saying hey thinking of you what about saturday ? I am not sure if he will call but Why mention to make plans and not keep them.
Thanks for your imput. Let me know what you think
