Making that call... and how often

    So you've met a girl you really like and you want to get to know her better. You want to meet up but in the meantime want to express your interest. You a) don't want to seem like a prick who doesn't care because you contact her too little and b) you don't want to seem like an overly-serious obsessive who contacts her too much.

    So the question is: how much is the right amount to contact her? How often? And what way?

    Ring her when you want to ring her. Don't bother with crappy mind games. I know most people are into them, but they are such a waste of time. Go with what feels right for you. Sorry I can't offer more specific advice.

    Texting (within reason!) can show you care without being too bunny boilerish.
    then, when you know how often she feels a call is required, you can do the necessary!

    call her every 10mins, show up at her house unannounced, ring her from her doorstep, chicks love that, take pictures of her from the bushes and post them to her, do it anonymously tho as thats more romantic. leave little love notes on her car whenever shes out, sit outside her house till 4 in the morning. if all that doesn't work then nothing will.

    Agreed. You might think you're ringing too soon/too often, but if she's into the whole thing, she'll be delighted you called. If she thinks you're a psycho stalker, then it obviously wasn't meant to be. Quite simple really. :)

    agreed. kolodny and the other girl r both right, when you dont call because you think it's too much then we may get the idea you dont really care that much and we begin to look elsewhere...
    ring or text whenever you feel the urge to, you'll find out soon enough if its going to lead to anything anyway ;)

    true, but dont appear too clingy.. one thing i hate is clinginess.

    Rofl.

    Yea chief, the birds are always "clingy" with you!

    Athough from experience, I find its best to ring/text the weekend after you get the number. Not too soon, and usually the best time to meet up. Thats my tuppence anyway.

    Take it in turns to call. Share the phone-bills, like. Chicks love that. Don't they? At the very least, if you're calling, have it a short, to the point conversation, and if she calls, let her blather on that little bit longer about shoes and ponies. Or whatever.
    Texting is for paedophiles btw, leave that **** out.

    How about the crazy idea of ringing her once or twice, and then waiting for her to ring you back, and then judging on the time gap she's left ye both can set off from there?

    Ensure first that both of you are at the same height above sea level, and the temperature is constant.

    Sposs do you EVER post anything helpful?

    Do as Nog sez...stalk her for a lil bit first.
    Find out her habits and her timing...

    AND THEN

    ring her as soon as you know she has just stepped outta the shower.

    Makes for a very intersting conversation starter..

    "Oh am I interrupting?"
    "oh..well...I'm just outta the shower..."
    "...you are eh?"

    If all else fails..do as has been said...ring whenever YOU feel like it.
    works for me...

    girlies love slurprise fone calls.
