call after a first date...how long

How long after a first date with a man do you think they should call you to show that they are interested, 3 days, 2 days, a week? I went on a date with a man that I met online who I'm interested in yesterday and wondering if he doesnt' call me in a couple of days can I safely assume that he's not interested?

My experience is that a guy who is REALLY interested will call within a day or two. The more time it takes, the lower their interest level, in my experience.
I had one guy recently who didn't contact me and I finally emailed him, just because I'd really been feeling a connection and I was kind of baffled not to hear from him, so I just wanted to test the waters. He wrote right back and wanted to get together again (and called a day or two later), but I'm now lukewarm in my interest towards him because he didn't contact me until I prodded him (plus our 2nd date wasn't until 2 weeks after the first), whereas my interest was very high early on. Plus I met someone else in the interim who is showing a very high level of interest so he's not doing well by comparison, and if he really was highly interested in me, he wouldn't have given someone else a chance to show more interest, I don't think.
Anyway, sorry, I got off on a tangent ;-). It's just interesting to me to see in action how a guy showing a low level of interest can lower *my* interest (Hal, are you reading this ;-)?).
