You know how some girls obsess over when a guy will call or whether to call a guy and how they conclude that they need to FIGHT the urge to contact him - when they really like him?
Similarly, do guys ever go through any anxiety in waiting for a reply from a girl? Perhaps waiting for her to return a call from the voicemail you left? Or reply to a text or email?
Hmmm. Not really.
Anxiety like that is pretty much mostly based on looks and physical attraction and I just don't roll that way...
If I don't know a woman well, then I won't be anxious over her no matter how hot she is.
If I do know a woman well enough to like her, then there should be no need for the push/pull games.
I used to be like that when I was younger and less jaded.
I remember torturing myself waiting for women I was infatuated with to call me back. Meanwhile they were out getting drunk and looking for other guys...

heck yeah. ya never know why they're taking forever to respond! could be one of three things: they don't wanna talk to you cos they're not interested, they don't wanna talk to you because they are interested and wanna string you along for a bit till you're committed, or they're just busy.

Hell yes, and I hate waiting 2-3 days to not seem over eager. I think thats B.S., but evidently I'm wrong.

what is this 3 day rule? I've never had a guy who liked me wait 3 days to call. the ones who didn't just never called again or only wanted one thing and waited at least a week. any normal girl is going to assume disinterest from a guy that waits 3 days to call. In fact waiting 3 days to see each other again if you live close enough is weird too. but that's me.
I'll spare you all with a long story; but in short, yes, waiting for that girl to call is torture, sometimes.
cute! probably not to you though...
for me, I don't know if it's torture necessarily because I really like the guy. Sometimes it's just because I don't like being rejected. Even if i don't like the guy, no one likes being rejected.

Mir, well, it seems the game has changed. I never believed in waiting. Now you have to appear like you "have something goind on" and are a busy person. You're dating others or whatever. I don't get it. For the record, I don't wait, but they also never answer the phone or call back. Thats been my experience since my divorce. I must be doing something wrong. How else do you explain fun 5 hour dates and then a blow off?
it's not torture, have a life geez. There's so much going on in the world, so much to do and all you can think about is someone replying to a phone call or a txt message.
It's not even about dating other people, it's about having a balanced life. Set your own rules.
I wish I could say I was above it, but I'm not. For me the worst is waiting after the initial call. If I leave a message I hate just sitting around waiting to see if she's going to call me (must be how girls feel when they give a guy their number).
