When Should I Call?
By Abby Horton
You just walked in the door from an incredible first date. He was hilarious (plus), polite (plus, plus) and he made you feel comfortable the entire time (never-ending plus). Not only are you dying to talk to him again, you think it is only polite to give your date a call to thank him for a great time. The question is how soon should you call? The best idea is to wait until the next day. There are a couple reasons to wait. First, calling him an hour after he drops you off may scare him just a little bit. It has an eerie feel to it, as if you are watching and waiting for him to get home. Then again if you wait a few days it may sound like you forgot to say thank you in the first place. That is definitely not what you want to achieve with your call.
When you do call (and not at eight am) be sure to keep the conversation short and sweet. Simply say, "Hey, it's (your name). I just wanted to say thanks for last night---I had a great time." That is really all and besides you are a very busy gal with places to go and things to see. If he says he will call you soon, well he could only be being polite. But you had an incredible date right? And he was happy to hear from you (tone of voice says more than words)? Then there is a good chance he will call so start getting prepared to hear from the man of your dreams!
