hahaha I've heard that some guys go by this "rule." *ahem* Some
very juvenile and insecure guys, I might add.
These types of guys just don't want to come off as desperate...even if they are. Which is fine if it helps to boost their obvious lack of self-esteem.
What they don't realize, however, is that if they wait too long, it sends the message to their prospective lover that they aren't
really all that interested, or that getting your information may have been just an exercise in playing the field. Once again...very weak in the self-esteem department.
If you want to know what's up with this guy, why don't
you contact
him? For one, it will be easier on a lazy or insecure guy if the girl he's interested in calls on him first. For two, it will tell him that yes, you are indeed still interested. For three, it will finally put all of the questions that are no doubt floating around in your head at the moment at ease.
It could just be that he's been busy & hasn't had time yet. It could be that he was sucked into the 6th dimensional vortex. The only way to know for sure is to contact him, just to see what's going on.
Oh yes, and if/when you do this, try not to take an accusing tone. "I just wanted to say hey and what's up?" sounds a lot better than "Why haven't you called/e-mailed me yet?" Because
then who would sound like the desperate one?
My boyfriend and I exchanged phone numbers the night that we met. After that, I didn't hear anything from him for a few days...maybe even a week.
At first, I thought that he was trying to do exactly as you say: act macho & try not to come off as desperate.
In reality, he had called the
very next day after we met...and pretty much every day thereafter.
The thing was, we both worked a lot & had very different schedules. Every time he would call my house, I would either be at work or out somewhere. He always told whoever
was home at the time to let me know that he had called....but I would never get the message.
Eventually, he came to think that
I was blowing
him off! And yet each time I
was home to take the call & talk to him, everything was fine between us. So he was a bit confused, needless to say. lol
But eventually, everything worked out. We started seeing each other, and those phone calls....turned into the looooong, romantic type that last until way past midnight.
Long story short, we're together now as we have been for the past year. Nature just has a way of making things happen if they're really meant to be.
Hope things work out similarly for you & this Catholic Casanova.
Best of luck...and try not to be too nervous!
