Phone call etiquette

Mmkay, on this subject: I find it strange that he didn't call AT ALL just b/c you said you didn't like it when people called 500+ times per day. B/c calling ONCE is SO not stalker material. I just find this odd.

But, the way I was raised is that girls just DO NOT call boys. In my home, when I picked up the phone I was always asked who I was calling, & if it was a male name, my dad would smack my hand & say "No, you're not." It was made clear that girls who call boys are desperate & turned into stalker type split tail whores down the line. It wasn't put to me like that of course, just in a roundabout way. So, even if I have a male's number, he is a VERY special person if I dial it.

But I agree very much, for HIM not to call YOU at least once, and then use the reason, "well, I didn't want to seem like a stalker", that IS being an ass. Plain & simple.

As for how many times to call....I don't think there's a number, but I agree w/what Rob said. There needs to be a reason for the call. If he or she is just calling to tell you what they had for lunch, that can wait. Unless of course, whatever they ate induces explosive vaumiting & they're on their way to the hospital.

For me personally, most of who I talk to knows my schedule. They know I work from 8-5 Mon.-Fri. and not even to call then b/c I can't answer. Then for the weekends, or afterwards, I just think it's unnecessary to do the repetitive calling, 1 right after the other. When guys do that, it scares me. I'll save their numbers in my phone to show up as IGNORE!!! when they call if they do. Just use your head people.
