I ask you women out there: when was the last time a guy actually called you? Out of the profusion of dates that I have been on in the last three years, I can count on one hand the number of men who have actually called to set-up a date (or follow-up for the second one). In our world of constant communication, texting/emailing/gchatting just seems easier for setting up the tedious logistics of where/when/how. In fact, I myself am guilty of the "over-texting" syndrome that occurs when you are first dating someone new- you mindlessly textflirt for days on end before you develop a case of carpel-tunnel in your fingers.
Well, I have been thrown a curveball. I had a guy actually call me, set up a date, and 24 hour later has yet to text me. In past experiences, by the afternoon of the day after a first date, I receive a "Hey, I had a great time last night. Hope you're doing well" text message, and you confidently reply, now sure of the mutual attraction. This explains why right now, I am not anxious, but am awaiting his call in suspense. Will he call me tonight? Tomorrow night? Will he actually do the unthinkable: follow the three day rule, that specter of traditional, past dating?
I haven't experienced the suspense after the first date in a long time- maybe this guy knows what he's doing. Go back in dating time to move her heart forward in ours.
