I don't think there's any particular "rule" about that, but I have noticed that in just about every case where we ended up dating for any length of time, the guy called within a day or two of our first meet (or set up a 2nd date while we were still out on our first).
That's not to say I would ding a guy if he didn't call that soon, but I would wonder about his interest level.
So funny that you posted your question about when a guy should call back, because I was about to ask the same thing. I met a guy Friday for the first time (we'd talked on and off on the phone and online for about a month before meeting.) We had a great time and as I was leaving I told him I had fun and to call me over the weekend if he wanted to do something. I didn't hear a word from him and expect I won't. He's 30 and told me the longest relationship he's ever had is for 2 to 3 months. I even sent him an e-mail thanking him for buying my meal and didn't hear anything back.
At this point, I think I should leave it alone. However, he's done this before we even met. He takes a while to call back.
I get the feeling this is the type of guy that is very used to being single and doesn't want a woman smothering him.
I thought about calling him mid-week if I don't hear anything from him just so I know where I stand and I can move on. Any advice anyone on if I should call him or not??
However, I, too, agree with the other post--if a guy doesn't call back after a day or two after the first meeting, then he's probably not interested, which I'm sure is the case with me.
