How I Got a Man to Call me First

Ok, lets face it. How many times have you had a great guy get your phone number only to never hear from him? Its happened to me and I am sure it has happened to you. In these days and time there are a lot of women out there doing the chasing and I think it has a lot of men getting lazy. They give you their number and tell you to call. I don't know about you, but I would rather not be the one initiating that first call.

I had met the man I now date online and yes he gave me his number. I really did not make a habit of giving mine out because sometimes they turn out to be stalkers or worse. I had a feeling about this guy though. I wanted to meet this one but I refused to call him. I put his number into my cell phone and created a plan.

Everyone is text messaging now. On a Sunday I went to a little bar and grill that I go to for Happy Hour during the week. I sent out a group text message to all my girlfriends that read something like "Hey girls I am at the rock, come have a cocktail" I added his name to the list. About 30 minutes later he called. He was a bit baffled and said who is this. I said who is this. He repeated my message and I laughed and said "ha got you to call me first" That told him I was not the type to call him first, and that I was also fun. He asked me out for the following Friday and the rest is history. So sometimes its ok to call, just be fun about it and play it smart.
