I don't get out a whole lot (as far as bars and clubs)But as of late, I have been going out a couple times a week, with the sole intention of meeting women. And yes, I do meet them, and I get there numbers. Here is the thing, I am about 0 for 10 as far as actually having them return my calls in the last couple months. The last one over St. paddy's day actually had a little make out session with me that night, so I figured this ones a done deal. No response..nothing...nada. I am either losing my touch or meeting the wrong people. I personally wouldn't give my digits to anyone I didn't plan on seeing at least once. Nor would I spend a few hours talking to them at a bar if I wasn't interested. What is up with this?

I agree with Mayhem sad2 winking :angel:

Beer goggles are a dangerous thing. drinks

I try to avoid guys when I drink too much so I don't get myself into a bad situation. It's not only dangerous but it also leaves a little baggage that I wouldn't take on if I weren't drunk (ie, passing out my number). winking

Either that, or they're suffering from "buyer's remorse", where they look at that torn-off piece of paper with your phone number on it and all-of-a-sudden decide that something about you (from what they can remember that is... wimmins tend to have pretty short memories, you know) didn't strike the proper chord with them, which will result in your not getting a call back.

Damn picky women. This was the one thing I do remember her saying "I totally would go out with you, you are gorgeous!" Then proceeded to suck my face. That is weird stuff.

I don't drink, I don't go to bars, and I certainly wouldn't get mixed up with anyone who did either.

In my younger days, I dabbled in that sort of thing, never with anything remotely approaching a positive outcome. Maybe a night, maybe a week or two, but always more trouble than it was worth. Took me awhile to figure it out, but I finally did.

I applaud you on that. And I kind of half-way agree with you on that too. But for someone who needs a little liquid nerve to start the conversation, it is ruff.

They give me theirs. And not only that, half the time it is without me asking. Confused.

I hear ya dude, I'm the most shy guy in the world...until I get a few drinks in me. That's loosens the nerve to talk to someone, and even then it doesn't happen much laugh drinker

Arent you supposed to wait 2 weeks before calling someone who gave you there number??
Maybe you seem too needy??

Maybe they are just waiting to call you back so they don't seem needy?

Just save yourself the misery and do like I do- and throw the numbers away.

Two weeks?? I have heard like four days. Two weeks is enough to forget for sure I would think. I do try to avoid the whole looking needy thing, but have never waited quite that long.

Yea, I've gotten that a lot in the bar scene. I'm so glad I'm not in it anymore.
I've never given my number to someone that I didn't want to talk to...

I do do this sometimes when I felt there wasn't enough of a connection. I also do it after calling twice (max) and not getting a response.

Well thank goodness you have a max on calling someone without getting a response.
I've had people call and call and call, even AFTER I told them not to. frustrated

Meeting people in bars is just about the worst way to start a relationship.....if one gets started at all.

I've never done the bar scene, so no... But if I gave my number to a guy, it would be with the hopes he would call. :)
