None of my "men in waiting" contacted me this weekend.

sadly but true - people don't like to admit to having no plans for the weekend so there are less people on-line on Fri and Sat night because of this.

>> He even said that calling on the weekend may make him look like he didn't have something going on. What do you make of this????<<

Sure, why not? It'd be the guy equivalent of the silly rule that women shouldn't accept a date too close to the weekend, even if they don't have any plans, because they want to appear somewhat remote and "harder to get".

I've always thought that kind of thing is stupid. You wanna call someone, you call 'em, even if it hasn't been the three-day minimum that us guys think exists.

When I'm into a gal, I call her whenever, no "waiting" to try and look busy or whatever.

Sorry to hear that you haven't heard anything yet. Sending positive thoughts your way that you will! I agree with some of the others in that being the weekend, they might not want to appear that they have nothing to do so they are waiting until the beginning of the week to call. It always seems like things are a little slower on the weekends and then pick up again on Monday. I definitely hope that you hear from at least one of them soon. But as lg says, if you are not having ghosts, you are not getting out there enough!

I'm somewhat in the same boat. I have the 7 contacts going on right now and although one is new (we just started email) and another said he would call tonight or tomorrow (so I am not concerned yet), the only other one I heard from over the weekend is the one that lives 40 miles away in a small town so making him slightly less desirable (proximity is key and I am SO much a city girl). All the others have been pretty quiet. But it was a gorgeous weekend here and I didn't spend much time on the computer so I figure they didn't either. But if I don't hear in a couple days, I'll start counting the ghosts.
