Phone Dating Rule: Different strokes for different folks

Different strokes for different folks. We all have different tastes and wants in a prospective partner. And we can’t ignore that. Sometimes our date just doesn’t like us. Well, it happens more often than we’d like to admit. So as mature human beings, we move on. That is the best move for when this happens. Don’t treat it as a defeat, rather an opportunity to continue the search and not be hindered by a person who doesn’t really like you that much. You do not want to force someone into liking you, and a step towards that direction will only make the situation worse. They will end up totally avoiding you because you threaten their personal space. Just thank them sincerely for their time and go about your business as usual.

Phone Dating Rule: Calling immediately is not a sign of desperation.

Calling immediately is not a sign of desperation. Most daters are afraid they will come off as lame or pathetic if they call immediately after the date. This is not true. All that matters is what you say during that phone call. An example of this is when you’re at a bar and a girl gives you her number and leaves. Wouldn’t it be nice for the girl to come home and get a message from you saying you already want to see her? Sincerely and not sounding like a total creep. The trick is not to assume anything, give them a call, leave your number and hope for the best. Many girls actually think this is a great move, but you have to do it right since girls are also put-off by over-confidence. Just be suave and chill and wait for that phone call. Only call once, it is more than enough. If done right, things could totally get rolling from there.

Phone Dating Rule: Treat Other the way you want to be Treated..

Treat others the way you want to be treated. You should always keep in mind the golden rule. If you kept your date anxiously waiting for that call, even if you are the most gorgeous being in existence, it will still reflect on you and tell the prospective date that you are an ill-mannered person. Even if you are swamped with work and other dates, you should still call because honestly, how long will a phone call take? 5 minutes of your precious time? Call them and if they can’t be reached at the moment, you should leave a message thanking them for the call and confirm or reschedule or break it to them that they are not what you are looking for. Thank them for their time and since you went out in the first place, there must have been enough similarities that will make you good friends and it is always nice to meet you new people you can actually get along with. It is always advisable to end on good terms.

Phone Dating Rule: Waiting is NO-NO

Waiting is a no-no. Letting that unreturned phone call sit on your desk for a few days is such a deal breaker for most women, even men. If the person you gave your number to called within a few days, you should immediately call them back within that time frame. Whether your intention is to confirm the next date, or reject them, you should still call them. It’s rude for you to keep the person waiting, and besides it sets the notion that you’re just not interested. Even if you are not interested in ever seeing that person, you should still call because it tells the person that you value their time and that you respect them enough to break it to them and not just keep them waiting forever. Never forget your manners, even if that person is hideous or just not your type.
