Still... the outcome in many of my situations too, is that they don't call. Or if they do, then that's all they want to do... talk back and forth ad infinitum. If a couple wants to meet me, they make the first move and ask me for a meet. I never will. |
Hmmm. You're right, of course. The tactic used by a single person might have to be different. In our society the forward female especially is percieved as "too easy". As for the "no call" situation, I think you'll agree that it indicates a lack of real interest and avoids the alternative situation of endless e-mail exchange. JoAnn and I too have experienced the person who wants to call only when he feels lonely. That situation we have yet to overcome. None of these lonely souls has yet turned into a real pest. They tend to fade from view after a while.
