"Why hasn't he called?" Sound familiar? Every girl has said it at least once. After all, he took your number, talked to you for hours and said he would call, right? Well here's why some guys never call. If a guy you meet pays instant attention to you when you first meet, what would be your first reaction? Perhaps equal part "nice guy" and equal part "desperate guy." I tend to be in the nice guy category and am not into game playing (like waiting 2.7 days before calling a girl who gave me her number). Some girls, however, see an overly attentive guy as being desperate and the early attentiveness will backfire. Guys have more available resources when pursuing a girl than you might think. We have dating sites that offer a wealth of information and that actually train us that "less is more" in the attention department. We are actually taught that you prefer it when we don't pay too much attention to you. Why? Because it creates more desire and more mystery around us when we appear to ignore you. When you are left wondering, your interest level sky rockets and guys know that. Compare Mystery Man to Mr. Speedy Response. You may accept the offer to go out with Mr. Speedy Response but will still have the Mystery Man in the back of your mind. Let's continue.

You go out on a date with Mr. Speedy Response and he seems alright but he calls you every day thereafter. He could be nice or he could be desperate - you have to judge that by his behavior overall. When you finally hear from the Mystery Man, you think the suspense is over! But, he doesn't explain why he never called and you know better than to ask. This adds more mystery and prolongs the suspense. When Mystery Man finally takes you out, he does not drool and gush over you prolonging the "Does he like me?" suspense. If you are used to a guy focusing on you like there is no other woman in his life - or even on the planet - someone who does not fit this pattern will stand out as different. I'm not saying that it is right for a guy to ignore you but our experience shows that you will actually find him more interesting for that very reason. There are never any absolute truths when it comes to dating but, generally speaking, less is more when it comes to attention and courtship. No matter what women say to us about wanting us to pay attention to them, we know that, deep down, you actually prefer less. It sounds backwards but ask yourself, "Which guy would you be more attracted to?" and that is usually your answer to why he hasn't called.
