Theres a girl I like, but she never returns my phone calls. I don't know if its a weird habit of hers, or if its just coincidence, but she usually only picks up the second time I call her, never the first time. I usually wait about 30 minutes to an hour before I call her again on the same day. This week however, she hasn't been picking up the phone at all, and she never calls back. I usually call her to ask her if she wants to hang out every other day (excluding weekends, because her friend comes to visit her from another college quite often, and I go home on the weekends), but I think I might've screwed this up. We've hung out at least once a week or more each week (except this week) since I've met her, which was about 5 weeks ago. I thought things were going along pretty well, but now I'm just not too sure. Did I call her too much? Should I still try my luck with her or just move on?
It sounds like a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" kind of situation unfortunately. You do call her quite frequently, but if you don't your busy schedules will bring this association to a standstill. The fact is, being in college with all that it brings, she has a very busy schedule. She doesn't have the time to hang out every other day and frankly, too much too soon in a relationship can be awkward at the least, and potentially kill that initial spark. But, on the other hand, if you don't do things in the little time she is available, then it is harder for her to become attached, thus your phone calls become a lower priority to her.
The best advice I can offer is, if you really like her, call her from time to time to show her that you care and are still very interested despite the difficulties. Just be sure not to be overbearing, or else you're through! If after some time things look bleak, she's still not interested and now you are losing interest, THEN do yourself a favor and move on.
maybe she only picks up the second time because she wants to see if you will call again. Maybe try calling once and then waiting like a day and then call again. Maybe you should try to find a way to spend time with her on a weekend. See if she is willing to make changes to her schedule so that you guys can hang.
I completely agree with SunGod, but I'd like to add that you calling that much doesn't leave much room for her to call you back. I mean waiting 30 minutes b4 you call her again, that's borderline crazy and seems ultra desperate/clingy to me, ESPECIALLY since you have only known her 5 weeks. I am going through it right now with this guy who is doing it to me, and its a total turn off, it only makes me think of what things would be like if we got together, and things are looking like he's going to be the needy type. That's not a good look at all. And for that reason, I don't return too many of his calls.
Fall Back, take a deep breath, call her about once a week, and if she responds, she responds. If not, move on, she's either too busy or not interested.
To be honest, if a girl is into you, she would call you back. Usually we are freaks that check our phone to see if we have any missed calls from the person we are into even if the phone hasn't rang. And usually if you call too much, we let you know in some way or another so I don't think you called too much. Sorry if I'm being mean, but I think you should move on. Sorry.
Give her some space and don't seem too eager/desperate. Just slowly move into a mindset of not caring so much. When she stops getting the attention she might start missing it and thinking about you. Then she might initiate things. And if not. You have your answer. Just keep your dignity and don't let her string you along if that's what the case is.
Yeah I think you might be calling her too much. unless she doesn't have caller id then maybe it would be ok? but who doesn't these days?
i think you should stick to calling her once, if she doesn't pick up leave a voice message, and hope she calls back. when you do ask her or if you do leave a voice message, just ask her if you want to hang out sometime in the week, if she has time ( so you don't sound too needy). just don't flood her inbox with a voice message every time :P
you can call her once every other day I guess , not too often.
