Poll: Got a number, how long should I wait?

[Irony's Acolyte]

She gave you her number right? Then I don't see why you can't call her the next day.

Who cares? Relationship threads are the most pointless threads known to man.

 

[Sleekgiant]

How long should you wait? Indefinitely.

I say this, when the relationship always turns into an inevitable shitstorm, the best option is to not pursue it, unless you like pain.

 

[Outright Villainy]

Couple of days. There's leeway there, as long as it's not on the same day or two weeks or more it should be fine.

whenever i meet someone new and i would like to go out with her in different circumstances (more privatelly) i tell her

"hey, you know what?, i know this restaurant/bar/club that you might like, want to go there next friday/saturday?(deppends on availability)

if she is interested she will say yes
if she is not she will say no (sorry dude, better luck next time)
if she doesnt know she will say "let me give you my number" after wich i call her one day before the set time (doesn´t matter if its being one week or one day, or 12 hours), then ask her again, of course this will result in her saying yes or no deppending on her mood, if she says no again, shrug it off and find someone else

if you ABSOLUTELLY need to go out with her, just remember to ask for her AIM BEFORE asking her out, that way you can "catch her" some time later and try again, this time, no interest should be shown about you wanting to date her, at least a couple of times, untill you see she starts to trust you (like she starts talking about her friends and work/school) "then" you ask her out again, this is rather difficult because the first few chats HAVE TO BE ABSOLUTELLY MEANINGLESS, so that she doesnt feel threatened my method? stupid jokes about EVERYTHING, then some "more or less" personal questions "wich school did you went?" then more "deep" questions "how do you feel about videogames?", untill she starts chatting with you instead of you with her, believe me, there IS a difference, this will take no more than 5 or 6 chats over one month, then she will say YES

its worked more than you can ever imagine, so dont you dare doubt me!

If guy doesn't send me anything within 2 days, I move on.

 

[JanatUrlich]

Next day. Don't leave her hanging, that's just fucking mean.

I think I posted in another relationship thread that I felt there was more behind these comments you make then you seem to want to let slip, but I never got a response.

So what's got you all jaded an making short pointed responses about relationships?

I'm just sick of people thinking that this is a sensible place to ask for romantic advice. I'm a lot more secure with the image of the computer-game-playing nerd as anti-romantic than the newly evolving image of computer gamers being essentially normal people without the personality conflicts with other people.

What has me making short, pointed responses to these threads is a vain hope that if we give enough people bad advice, they'll stop asking us for it in the future. I feel that every time somebody answers these threads in a way that would aid the asking party, they condemn the site to more of these threads. Because they displace other threads on Off-Topic which could be more interesting, I take umbrage at their presence.

That's insanely passive-aggressive. Why not just point them to Bonsaik's thread or something?

I'm a lot more secure with the image of the computer-game-playing nerd as anti-romantic than the newly evolving image of computer gamers being essentially normal people without the personality conflicts with other people.

Non-gamers having that image of gamers isn't going to do this any favours at all. Are you actually promoting social isolation?

The fact you're asking the internet is kinda... Well it's not really the best place for an answer ever is it? Me I got some girls number during Sonisphere, the numbers just on my phone, I don't know her name, I don't plan on ever calling her, I don't even know why I kept the number apart from it makes me look more popular. Simple answer is simple, phone her or don't chances are nothing will happen anyway it happens at lot at shows and nothing ever happens after.

 

[SimuLord]

Rule of thumb I tend to live by: If I got the number during the daytime, I'll use it (text or call) at 9:00 that night. If I got the number after 5 PM, I'll call her the following evening or send a text at about lunchtime (again, depending on the situation).

But if you got that number on Sunday, it's past the expiration date.

call!!! Call right now!!!
