So You Got Their Phone Number Now What
You meet a nice guy or girl and you hit it off. You got their phone number but how long should you wait before giving them a call?
If youve seen the movie Swingers, you know what Im talking about. Lets look at some of the possible scenarios you may find yourself in:
Call Right Away (within the first half-hour)
How you see it: Just making sure they got home safely; or you just really enjoyed their company and you wanted to talk some more
How they see it: I just talked to this person 30 minutes ago what else could they want to talk about?
Call 3-6 Days Later
How you see it: Didnt want to seem too desperate and/or wanted them to spend a few days thinking about why you werent calling.
How they see it: They didnt call because they were trying to look cool; what do they look like again?
Call 7+ Days Later
How you see it: Been busy and havent gotten around to it maybe the other person will want me more if I show them how little I care.
How they see it: Who are you?
The truth is, if you meet someone for the first time, how likely are they to remember you after a week? Now add drinks into the equation and youre lucky if they remember you the next day. Call the next day if you want to be safe, wait two days if you enjoy living on the edge.
BONUS : Social Exploration Disguised As Date Hunting
There are many social events that bring like-minded individuals within close proximity to each other. If you are one of the many millions of people who date, choosing an activity that is interesting to you is a good place to begin meeting people who are interested in similar activities.
If you like fast paced activities you dont want to meet people who are seriously into knitting. If you consider wealthy, well-educated men or women to be the perfect match for you, you would not go to chili cook offs to meet potential dates.
First you have to seriously consider what type of person you wish to bump into. It is not rocket science. Bookstores are a great venue in which to encounter men or women who like to read and are more the bookworm, philosophical types. Where as skydiving or parasailing will bring you closer to adventurous, out-doorsy type people. And of course for a happy medium there are lots of wonderful, happy, single people out there who attend traditional social events.
One great yet subtle strategy to meet plenty of potential dates is to enroll in a college class. I know it doesnt sound like the perfect solution at first, but consider you are a female and you enroll in a class that is predominantly male. A fly fishing course at a community college might just be the perfect place for a female to narrow the competition and be asked on quite a few dates.
There is a lot of controversy connected with meeting people at bars. A lot of people understand that an alcoholic beverage loosens inhibitions to the point it is easier to engage in conversation with the opposite sex. That does not make you an alcoholic. So just keep in mind the meeting place does not define the person, however you do have to take into account the meeting place might be a persons natural environment.
Online dating is a fine example of environments or comfort zones. You would not want to generalize that all online daters are extremely shy or so busy that traditional meeting places are just not in their time schedule. But you do have to take into account those issues might define who they are to an extent.
Dating should be fun. But in all seriousness once you make the initial contact with an interesting person of the opposite sex there are a few great tips that might be helpful when considering the first date with anyone.
