When should I call?

[JimRune]

As some of you know, I have a date on Saturday. But I have to call her to finalize it all(times, whatever, etc).

So when's the best time to call? It's about 2:00 right now; I have no clue when she gets home. I'm worried about catching her in the middle of something or interrupting her or whatever.

I also don't like the idea of her parents picking up and interrogating me or something like that.. Kind of like a snag on a branch.

Maybe I'm overreacting? Either way, I still need to know a good time to call.

hehe...I used to hate when youd sit there and get ready to call..thinking of what to say etc..then it is the answering machine, lol..and u blank out

[JimRune]

Yeah.. Now just another item to add to my list of fears.

[John Prophet]

nahhh...just relax and be yourself...enjoy life, dont worry....act as if it isnt a big deal..because, in the grand scheme, it isnt, lol...

as usual the old advice is the best..relax and be yourself and dont try to think through every word etc....


she is probably sitting there going "mom, what should I say when he calls?" lol

[JimRune]

I dunno. We both don't like using the phone, but she seems happier when I do use it, for whatever reason.

Yeah man, just relax and remember HOLE. A friend of mine told me this and i think its a pretty nice accroynm.

H - Hug (at the end, unless she is touchy)
O - Open ended questions
L - Make her laugh
E - Eye contact

Always act interested in her, make her feel like she is the only one in the room. If this is a first date its best to go somewhere public so its not too awkward. Sit close to her, and make sure she knows that you're interested. Some people probably don't agree, but touch her, on her arm, shoulder, etc. And see how she reacts, and whether she likes it or not. Just be yourself, and make her laugh, laughter is the key to a girls heart and ....well you get the idea. And remember, she is just as nervous as your are I dont know if this was a first date or what, i figured if your asking about what time to call her, you may want some other advice. If not, whatever.

Yea just go and enjoy life! Just pick up the phone and call, who cares who picks up, put your self in their shoes - they just see someone calling to talk to their daughter, or sibling! Anyone reading this, if you like someone go and ask them out, the worst that can happen is they will say no, and dont care what other people think, as I said, really what is the worst that can happen! Seriously, live, its great and once you do it once, its easy to do again! It really is.


The only exception: if you like like the most amazing gorgeoous girl, who has let all her goreousness make her STUCK UP. (sorry if i just ruined some dreams)

Depending what kind of girl this is, the A-HOLE approach may be more effective. Anyway, call her before 9PM, after that it's considered rude. Keep it short and don't call too often.
