Some people, in any case. Is it fear, or do they think caller i.d. should be enough? I like messages. When a guy who likes me won't leave a message, sadly, it makes me think he is a wimp or sneaky and untrustworthy. Maybe I am reading too much into this. What do you think?

Maybe he just clammed up out of nerves.
Or he didn't want his voice/message on your machine.

Maybe he would just rather talk to you in person.

I like messages too haha. But I don't read that much into it. I only check messages if its from someone who I'm interested in otherwise they just pile up. For instance I hardly ever check messages from my mom bc its just "hey call me back" and I don't check messages from work either haha they can call someone who is working I'm not the only one who knows what to do hahaha. But if its a guy I'm seeing you bet I'm checking the message and giggling! LOL. Don't read too much into it though, maybe they don't check their messages so find it to be a waste of time bc they know you'll call back.

If you have ever seen Swingers, that's why guys don't like to leave messages.

Because if you see my number on your missed calls, that should automatically tell you that I called you for a reason and to call me back. I shouldn't have to leave you a voice message.

Most of the time when you leave a message and the person calls you back. You have to say it all over again. Why do it twice?

Some people (like my S/O) are just HORRIBLE at leaving messages, lol! Like, not quite knowing how to leave a short message...instead...trying to leave the entire reason they called on your machine. Now, do you really want that 10 minute voice mail? That's why I tell mine S/O not to EVER leave a message on my voice mail, lol...and I rush him along when he's leaving someone else a message, so that THEY don't have to listen to his long messages!

Honestly I wouldn't worry much about it. I rarely leave messages myself. I just hate talking to machines. If I get the machine and I don't leave a message, I'll normally just try back later, unless the person calls me back first.

I do not call back if I do not get a message. If you are interested in talking to me you will call back... If not, well then...
I do this for everybody, friends, family and people I date, or just met. Just MHOP.

If its very important, I'll leave a message. If its not, I won't as I hate talking to machines.

If I'm calling to ask you out again, of course I will leave a message.

I find people don't often check messages. When I leave a voice mail with a "detailed message" - often, I'll get a phone call back asking what I wanted? ... had they listened to my message they would have known what I wanted and may not have needed to call me back! It drives me crazy.
