E-mail vs. phone
| Wed, 01-04-2006 - 12:25pm |
Does anyone else get annoyed/frustrated with a guy who will only make dates by e-mail and never calls?
I feel like it's laziness/lack of effort on his part. Also, I think it would be nice for a guy to call just to chat once in awhile.
I guess I am really feeling like I want a man who makes an effort.
Am I being unfair?

If you prefer to set up dates by phone, I don't think there's anything wrong with expressing that preference, even after just a few dates.
The next time he emails instead of calls to set up a date, I'd write back something along the lines of, "please give me a call tonight so we can discuss".

Hi tallgirl,
You would be surprised how many men become literally tongue tied on the phone when talking to a woman they're interested in..., if a guy has had this happen a few times and blames that on the failure to get a date, another date, or continue the relationship he may just refrain from calling at all figuring he'll do better in person.
I definitely agree that a man should call and ask a woman out once he gets her number..., anything less would be seen as weakness on the man's part...., but don't expect me to be on the phone for hours. I will usually call, and then BS for a few minutes and then set the date..., if she declines I'll change the subject, talk for a few minutes more and then say goodbye. If she doesn't offer another date or time or event I won't press the matter.
What kind of "entertainment" are you using the phone for, Hal?
