Should I call back?

Call and if you get a voicemail then leave a message but don’t follow that up until/if you hear back from them with a phone call or text. After this, don’t respond to any more “missed calls”.

Life is short. If you’re interested, CALL now.

Just call.
“Leaving a mystery” sounds like playing games to me…

I called back and no answer…… seems as though the game continues! lol

It’s only a game if you deliberately don’t return the call. Otherwise, it’s happenstance.

Call back. Why play games?

Games, games, games. Why do people think relationships are games? You have to get over on the other person.

Do you like the guy? Call back. If you don’t care, then don’t.

This question is dangerously close to being
under the orange tree.

You said that you called him back and left him a message, right? Or do I have that part wrong? If you actually left him a message and said something like you had a great time and I hope we can get together again soon and he didn’t call you back after that then I’d say that he’s “just not that into you.” God, how I hate that term!

But if you just called his number, after getting the missed call (which may or may not have been him) and you didn’t leave a message, then definitely call and leave a message like this, “Hi Doug, I had a great time the other night and was wondering if you wanted to (fill in the blank) on Saturday? Give me a ring and leave a message if I’m not here.” That way you are sort of putting the ball in his court, and he will know not to just call and hang up, if you aren’t there when he does call.

If you don’t hear from him in a day or two, I would guess that he just isn’t interested and doesn’t have the guts to say so, unless: he’s been injured and has been in the hospital all this time, or he had to go out of town because someone else was injured or dead. If he claims that he was just too busy to get back to you, he’s probably not good boyfriend/date material.

Simple plan: If you like him and are really interested, call him. Playing games is a thing of the past.

Call as soon as you can ^^

Thanks for the responses.

I did call back – and no answer. Because he had called twice I think that was the best thing to do. I’m not going to do any more calling though, if he happens to call again and I am not home [I don’t really use my cell phone to make calls, so my home phone is my only option] he will just have to make the extra effort to send me a text or something.. I returned the first call by text and the second the next day by a phone call.

I didn’t leave a message because I had already left one to a similar effect in the text message which I sent in reply to his first call (it was too late to call back when I noticed that one).

@earthboundmisfit Why wouldn’t you keep calling back if he misses you? Perhaps leave a message with good times to reach you.

@marinelife Although my career is solely based on making logical decisions – I have never been adept in the realm of dating. Who knows?! I am grateful to be able to receive any input.

I think I have a way of over complicating things…..

Your suggestion is a good one. I’ll try to give him something along those lines. My schedule is quite erratic at times, so it is difficult to pinpoint when I may be around. At least if he has tried to contact me twice, it couldn’t be an accident!

Just had been thinking that he hasn’t been that concerned with contacting me – it wouldn’t be overly hard to send me a text or reply to my message, which is why I haven’t wanted to be too intense jumping at each call. Thank you all again…

Games are never no good. But maybe he doesnt want to be too “pushy” either, maybe? I dont know. Let us know how this work out for you :-) good luck with everything!

No contact tonight… I’m starting to feel like giving up on this, at least it is becoming a bit too much headache. Looks like I’ve got my work to look forward tonight. Ever constant….
