no call list

[loralei]

Why do guys ask for a number, but not call. The last 3 guys I've met (while waitressing or at bars), actually asked me for digits. I didn't slip it into their jockies on a gum wrapper or anything

 

So why no call? It's been a couple weeks for each of them. This has never happened to me before. Usually if they do the asking, I get a call within a few days max.

There are many reasons why they wont call, the list is too numerous to name them all. Its probably best that you just believe that arent interested.

maybe they were just stupid and wrote it down wrong.... ](*,)

Hi there,

Maybe they figured you were out of their league...or wanted to score a number but never had the intention of calling. There is probably a ton of reasons why guys don't call.

 

If I was in your shoes I'd make it a little tougher for the next guy that asked for my number. I'd smile and say something like " I have a policy: I don't give my number to customers" if he is really interested he will persist and MAYBE he will be more likely to call. If not he may leave you alone.

[loralei]

Yeah do tell me. I feel like if he wasn't interested, he would not have asked for a number.

I have a cardinal rule that I always follow and I don't know how waitresses react to it so I'll propose it here and get some feedback....

 

Loralei, my rule is that I never hit on or ask a waitress for her number mainly because of two reasons: 1) It's not entirely obvious most of the time whether or not a waitress is actually interested in you or just working you for a better tip, and 2) I get the impression it makes her feel uncomfortable because even though it is a restaurant it is still unprofessional to be forced into a situation where you are choosing between hurting his feelings or giving in. Do you know what I mean? My ex was a waitress and she said she hated it when guys would hit on her because she didn't want to tell them no for fear of a bad tip or whatever.

 

Any comments/opinions on this...?

[loralei]

The waitress thing makes sense. I actually only work at weddings so I don't get tips, I get a gratuity in check form. And I am nicer to the guys that I'm interested in, hoping they'll ask me out. I hear what most of you guys are saying. Play harder to get! That's what my mom always told me. I just find it so difficult to be aloof when all I wanna do is jump on these hot guys

 

heh j/k but I think you catch my drift
