Charlie I think that you are spot on with your previous response about the two-to three day window before calling after your first date. I rarely appreciate a call back the next day in the general sense. However, ironically, if you happen to ‘sleep over’ after that fateful night you previously described in a bar, then women really crave some contact. Perhaps this is mainly to dispel the worry we have that it was just all about the booty call, and they are not ‘into’ us – perhaps it’s because we are a bit emotionally committed.
Thus, girls the age old rule, you can’t put out. You just can’t.
I have been in this position. You agonize, watching the phone, try tuning it off; even calling it to make sure it is still working. And still it doesn’t ring… Conversely I have also had long term partners whom I slept with on the first date.
Answer this for me Chucky, would you call a girl back if she put out on the first date?
The aforementioned question receives a great deal of discussion from my girlfriends. My male friends say they don’t care, that regardless of first date behaviours if they are interested then there will be a follow up. I guess as long as the follow up is not at 3am on a Sunday morning it’s generally acceptable.
I think the whole male calling women is an old fashioned ideal we still cling to. I know that it seems dated, however girls still like to be courted. At least a little. I still expect my future husband to ask my father for his approval before he proposes, yet this is also dated, but quite common practice in the 21st century.
Ladies come on, – tell me about your experience? Maybe it’s just me that does not get the call back, or even worse, maybe I am bad in bed!!

I agree with you Immy – for some reason guys love the thrill of the chase – and those of us who get caught up in the moment usually have to deal with the next few days of anxiety sitting beside their phone and jumping every time it rings. You can spend time with your cute guy on the first date – just don’t spend time in the bedroom.

I doubt that you’re bad in bed… guys just love going in for the kill, eating their feast, and then leaving you for their next conquet…

Exactly why you have to leave them wanting to feast some more…

I would call her if I wanted more…

hmmm, if i liked her I would, although I would be slightly worried if this was a first-date policy of hers. I hate thinking of how many other blokes they would have slept with on first dates. If a girl does act easy and goes all the way it’s a bit of a worry – unless they do it because they really liked me…

So Cory, It’s not ok for women to have sex with men on the first date? Or is it ok on the second? You are confusing as I fail to see the difference between the first or second? I get the drift, hence my enrty. It also a matter of opinion and individual preference, however can you see how women have a tough of job of it?

If a guy likes you he will definately call you after a first ‘date’ (regardless if you slept with him or not).
I think it is ridiculous to think a man won’t call if he had great sex (back me up here guys).
Otherwise – ‘he is just not that into you’.
Try to communicate with this man/men as to whether it is a one-night stand or you want something more (please attempt communication before you or I get naked… men hate emotional conversations during erections). Concerned ladies try this suggested line (before you get naked) “I only sleep with guys who I want to see again”.
Your pal,

Too funny Andrew. Yep I think most guys would call the girl if they wanted to see her again.
