What to Do When a Man Stops Calling

Perhaps it’s just a traditional dinner and a movie date, or a simple drinks date. Perhaps it’s a wonderful romantic evening under the stars. Champaign, candles, great conversation that flows naturally just like your Champaign in your glass. You look in to each other’s eyes. The first kiss feels so fantastic that you just feel your head starting to spin and your knees weaken. 

You think it’s love. And you are pretty sure he feels the same way about you. You come home excited. The following day you tell all your girlfriends about this wonderful guy you’ve just started dating. You even call your mom and tell her all about your date. Your girlfriends are happy for you, but inside, perhaps they are a little jealous. After all, you’ve caught a great catch. You think about how handsome he is. You remember how great it feels to be in his arms. You even start thinking what it will be like to marry this man, have children with him and a wonderful house with a picket fence.

Remember that feeling? If you’ve ever been in love, and I am sure you have, you know what I am talking about.

But then you don’t hear from him again. What happened? You start worrying. Perhaps something happened to him. And you melt your cell phone in your hands thinking should you call him or not?

If you find yourself in this situation, there are things that you should do and things that you shouldn’t do. First of all, think about how the date ended. Did he say he’d call you? If so, wait till he calls you. Do not call him unless he explicitly asked you to call him last time you saw him.

If he did tell you to call, you may want to try calling him and if he doesn’t answer, leave a message. But do not call him obsessively every five minutes. To learn more about how to handle men who don’t call, check out He Doesn’t Call
