Need your help ladies...your opinion..
I meant someone I am very much interested in....we saw each other a few times - great chemistry - great conversation - showed up at my BD dinner - came over my place on his BD...we truly shared great times together....and then SILENCE....
He has'nt called for five days....and perhaps I am old fashion...but at the beginnings I always let the man call....
My question....how long should it take between dates for man to call back...? And why no phone calls after a wonderful dates we had....(Of course you only get my version ) But with enough sense, I felt that he had a great time....
SO WHY THE SILENCE....And how should I approach this?
LET ME KNOW! Greatly apreciated!

How early in the relationship are you? If it's been five dates and you're still waiting for him to call you and you've never picked up the phone, maybe I would have some doubts about your interest. Or he could be done. Sometimes having a great time is scary and people flee the scene.

It happens all the time for infinite reasons - he got busy, met someone else, changed his mind on reflection of the evening - whatever. No I wouldn't call him so long as you were warm, friendly and appreciative on the date. Typically a man who is interested in seeing me again calls within a week and usually sooner.

Five days is not so long. Men have a different idea of what is responding quickly. I say take 5 to 7 times as long as women. He may actually be having a great time with you and now wondering if he wants to get more involved, and hesitating. Very typical. If two weeks have gone by and he hasn't called, he may have lost interest. You could always call him to find out what's going on. But I wouldn't call him until then. If he's interested, he'll eventually get back to you. No need to panic now. And if he IS getting scared, pestering him now will just make it worse.

I don't even think 2 weeks is too long or even 3. Men take a while to process thier emotions.

If he doesn't call in a week, he may either be having trouble or he doesn't want to pursue the friendship anymore.
