I will call you.....

The date went well, you danced, you laughed, you smiled, you kissed, you even held hands...and then the night was over and he said those famous four words..." I will call you!" He said it emphatically, irrevocably, soundly, and even passionately. Still, that phone call never came. The first couple of hours you are not worried at all because you spend that time analyzing the date. You go over your conversation, his eyes, those shoulders, that grip from his hand....basically you are doing an inventory of every single action that occurred when he was in your presence. Then you may even spend time romanticizing the next time he will see you. You want to look perfect, you want him to be in awe, you think of what to wear, what to do with your hair, what shoes will make him think you are some sort of sexy goddess....but then wait you realize he hasn't called yet. Humph! Suddenly he is a  jerk, not so smart, cock-eyed, a little on the chubby side, and those hands were full of callouses. Why do men do this?

Time and time again no matter what race, age, or language spoken...men lie. They say they are going to call and it never happens at all. You invest time in going out with someone and adjusting to their short comings when in actuality somehow during this meeting exchange the guy has already decided he is not going to pursue you. Sure, you can call him and he will act super cool about everything. You may even get another date out of the situation. However, if the roles are now reversed and you are doing the calling and suggesting....how much fun is that? I am a southern girl who has always heard ..."If the man wants to talk to you he will call you! (of course now that could mean text you, Skype you, like your page, hit you up on Instagram or something to that effect) " So what do you do? Well, the next time you are on a date with a new guy and you are sizing him up to see what things you like and don't like. When the date is over try saying, "Thanks, maybe we will do it again sometime!" Or anything that takes away the ownership of the man making the ceremonious call. I never suggest being rude..but you can simply let him know you had a nice time and you have a life that will continue to keep moving whether or not he decides to pick up that phone.
