up to 7 days? You're nuts. If you wait that long, do not bother calling. She will not remember you and she already has someone who decided to man up and have the balls to call. Not someone who pussy footed around for almost a week, deciding if he was too scared to call.
The readers can decide which represents the more "pussy footed" man.
Lightweight says: get the girls number, then call her 5 minutes later because you just had to hear her voice. Give her immiediete attention. She might forget who you are if you wait too long!
LightsOut say: get the girls number, and make her wait. 3 or 4 days. When you're good and ready, have time in your schedule, and feel like it, give her a call, no big deal.
The readers can decide -- which male is percieved as the more confident, the more dominant, and the less desperate out of the above two scenarios?
In my opinion lightweight, your screenname is representative of your weight class when it comes to this game.
3 days is waaaaaay to long to wait. My rule of thumb is the first 5:30 - 6:30 PM weekday period you call during after the initial meeting. So if you met the night before the next day. if you met saturday afternoon Monday during that time period. I think its pretty standard. I say never call on a weekend for an initial call.
The next day is still far too soon. This gives a woman a huge psychological advantage. You don't give any woman that type of credit or attention unless she's your wife or wife potential. Waiting 3 or 4 days before calling lets her know immieditely that she really isn't that important to you and that she must earn your attention. She must make herself more available to you, not the other way around. Dominating women is easy if you know how they function.
Gavycrav, why don't you report on what happened when you called this girl. Did she "forget" all about you as lightweight fears she might, or was she happy to hear from you as I predict? Unless the girl's personality sucked over the phone or she was boring, I'd wager you had a good first conversation.
It's been 4 days and at this point she probably doesn't think you're interested or even thinking about it anymore. Now that you call it's a bit of a surprise and you're in the driver's seat. It's Tuesday. A couple of good conversation from here until Thursday, and she's in your car on Saturday for a date. By next Saturday she's in your bed for a good ramming. Do it.
