Help- what do you men think?

Do you always follow up a date with a call or email?

I meet a guy now and then- months in between, due to distance and not being sure what will happen- she has left him and may or may not be back - we are friends at the moment, and no physical stuff, though we do like each other a lot!
I always expect a follow up call etc after having seen him, but it never happens. I feel hurt- he may not even think about it.
what do you think- is it something that guys do- or just us girls?

In truth, it's more than possible he doesn't give too much added thought. That's not to say that he doesn't enjoy or look forward to the time you have together. Friends tend to be friends - girlfriends something else.

The alternative of course is that he really likes being in your company and is wary of scaring you off by appearing too eager.

We guys can be just as screwy and unfathomable as you girls at times.

It all depends!

Maybe he does not want to appear to keen,
maybe he is not interested or
maybe it is just not something he does -
the moment he says bye his mind is on something else..

At this stage I would not read too much into it.

Have fun

How's he supposed to know what you expect unless you tell him?

IMHO he's playing with you.

I always follow up with a call or a text or something. But then I'm crap with women. There's something about inconsiderate men that some women find attractive. Honestly you women bring it on yourselves sometimes. I've tried to be inconsiderate but I soon get found out. Go and find someone else. Someone nice. On behalf of men who are crap with women, someone like us!!!

i don't know why but for some reason i can see that you're not going to be believed lol!!

BarcodeZebra · 23/01/2009 21:13

I find that if I reply to an OP and she doesn't respond after three days I'm left feeling used and dirty. It does nothing for my self-esteem and makes me want to just stay in and eat ice cream whilst watching weepy movies.

Am I alone?

aseriouslyblondemoment · 23/01/2009 22:29

LMAO!!

A "follow up" call/text is something men need to learn as it doesn't come naturally. Now I do it quite a lot, particularly a text to say "that was nice, lets do it again", "thank you for your advice/support over xxxx", or just some random follow up idea to a conversation we had.

Do girls ever send a follow up first or expect the man?

aseriouslyblondemoment · 22/03/2009 13:30

i will always send a thank you after a date even if i don't want to see the man again,it's purely courtesy really
men are def.awful with texting/calling IMO
on the lone parents 'fit and interesting'thread we call it broken finger syndrome
from experience if a man is interested nothing will prevent him from getting in touch
