CryForNoOne Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I got a girl's number last night and the first words out of my buddies lips were "How long are you going to wait?" I basically don't wait. I call/text the next day and never longer than that. I've even texted the same night and never came off seeming desperate. If you're cool and confident, I don't think it matters how long you "wait". Guys, how long do you "wait"? Ladies, when do you expect contact? Is same night desperate? 1-2 days normal? 3 or more days insulting? Link to post Share on other sites

Bialy Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 If I give a guy my number, that's pretty much a green light to call or text me that same day or the following day. That's usually how it has been for me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
SevenCity Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 There used to be a three day rule back in the day. Now, with the world full of instant gratification and real time Twitter feeds you can miss your chance if you take too long. I wouldn't call that night if you got her number at 11 pm, but I think the next day is completely appropriate. Trust me, if she likes you she is waiting for you to reach out.

Ami1uwant Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Generally 1-3 days depending on when it was exchanged and other details. In you getting her number she talked of doing something the next day then I wouldn't text her then. Link to post Share on other sites
Dis Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) Hun the most important thing is that you just be yourself...you have the right idea If guys try to play a game to come off as a "cool" guy...they're misrepresenting themselves If I gave a guy my number..I'd be thrilled to recieve a text from him the same day or the next day But if he waited to long...like maybe a week to text me...I wouldnt take him seriously...next! If a girl gives you her number...that means she interested...dont be afraid to show your intrest too!! Best of luck to you hun!

Author CryForNoOne Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Hey folks, to clarify I'm not seeking advice. I was just curious what other people did. I always call/text within 24-hours. More than anything I found it odd my friend asked me that question. And he's not the first guy who has asked me that. To me, it's like a joke from the movie Swingers but does anybody really do that??? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

In you getting her number she talked of doing something the next day then I wouldn't text her then. She innocently crept up to me so I broke the ice with some random banter - don't even remember what. She told me I was really cute then my friend tried to cock block and then she wandered off. Right before she left the bar, I said "Sorry we got interrupted" and she said "Lemme give you my number." I'd say that means call in 1 day. LOL!

MzLady Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Your buddy is a schmuck and is into playing games.. do not listen to him. If you want to get to know this girl, then text her like you usually would. Waiting DAYS is just ridiculous. If anything, waiting shows a lack of interest and consideration.. hello.. she gave you her number because she wanted to hear from you. so text her. If it were me.. I'd ignore you if you waited that long to text me. Best of luck! Link to post Share on other sites
