If you're interested in her, it seems kind of petty to insist she pick up the phone to a voice call rather than just responding to her texts.

Flexibility is one of the qualities that makes for a good, long term partner. Being extremely rigid and then losing the relationship because you insist that she pick up on a call instead of texting will ruin your chances for a lot of happiness in life, OP.

Well someone I haven’t talked to in a few weeks (that I do not have a defined relationship with) should probably add some clarity to their requests. I don’t understand why you didn’t leave a VM. That’s what tgey are for.

Don’t putz around - “Hey, I know it’s been a minute since we last got together, but I’d love to see you now that i am recovered. Let’s meet up in tbe 2nd.”

Well, it could be that you are ready, but she already moved on...

What's wrong with wanting to hear her voice?

You guys don’t have enough a relationship to have such firm communication requirements.

If I were really into someone I'd started dating.... I'd have gone to see HIM, even if he wasn't mobile. I'd have still wanted to progress the relationship. I'd have been there fluffing his pillows, bringing him soup, whatever... Know what I mean?

Just being with someone, hanging out, chatting in person, Netflix without the chill, getting to know someone... all of that can still be done if someone is willing and interested.

I didn't want her seeing me in that condition so that was my decision. Plus I was in so much pain that it would not be the typical quiet evening.

The point is, why are you limiting it to that? You're setting up an unnecessary obstacle, potentially. Why not text her, that you'd love to hear her voice again, and discuss setting a date to get together. And why not ASK her if she's available on the 2nd, instead of telling her that the June 2nd is the day?

I wasn't going to tell her I was going to ask her if she was free but I can't get her on the phone. Now I have to ask her about the 3rd because I just made plans with the family on the 2nd because I was never able to get in touch with her.

LOL. Someone in the Food forum wished me a happy holiday weekend, and I had to look up what holiday it was....


Unless she has expressed an aversion to talking on the phone, I would write her off.
