I know several bloggers have posted on the flakiness of girls already, but it’s so annoying I just had to say something else.
One thing I’ve noticed lately is I hate when girls say shit along the lines of “I’ll call you back in 10 min” or “I’ll call you tomorrow” or anything along those lines.
Because…. they never do it.
This has been the case forever. I remember in high school when I had a big crush on our homecoming queen and me and her started talking. We’d talk on the phone almost every night, and a lot times there’d be another call or something and it’d be like, “Hold on, this call is for my mom, so I need to give her the phone, but I’ll call you back in like 30 minutes, okay?”
And, she’d rarely call back…. like one in five times. That shit used to piss me off so much back then, I swear I used to deleter her number out of my phone like once or twice a week.
Even girls I’m not interested in, just platonic friends do this type of shit to me to. ”Hold on, I got another call, I’m a call you back in like 10 minutes, okay?”…. and then I don’t hear from them for 3 days.
I’ve since learned to take a girl saying, “I’m going to call you back” with a grain of salt and a mental note to just wait a few days before I hit her up again.
This is something I really don’t know how to counteract, I’d really rather girls just not say it to me.
This is why it’s better as a guy to be the one to get off the phone first and hit her with a “I’ll call you later”…. later doesn’t necessarily mean tonight or even tomorrow.. it just means later, so you leave it vague and open.
I try to do this, but inevitably, I can’t always be the one getting off the phone first. That’s almost impossible. Every chick is going to have a friend or sister or somebody call her at some point in the middle of your conversation if you talk to her long enough. Every chick is going to say at some point, “This is my sister, can I call you back in 10 minutes?”
Is there another answer to that question other than, “alright”?
On the flip side to that, I was on the phone last night with the new cute chick from Saturday. She called me and it was just a quick call because I was on my way out the door and she said, “Oh okay, I’ll let you go then, what time do you get off work tomorrow?”
“Shit, it depends, probably around 6 or 7 though, what’s up?”
“Okay, well just give me a call tomorrow when you get off work.”
“Alright”

…. Wait… wtf? This chick just told me when to call her and I agreed to it. I’ve known you for a week, how are you going to tell me when to call you? I’m not too happy about this. Part of me wants to call her when I get off work today just to be a man of my word, because I did say I would, but then the other part of me is saying fuck that, it’s Friday, just wait and hit her up Sunday evening or something. I don’t know what to do. Why should I call her when I said I would if she didn’t call me when she said she would the other night?
Anyway, I just hate the whole making times to call bullshit, don’t tell me you’re going to call me on a specific day, and especially at a specific time when chances are you’re probably not going to do it, and I’ll do the same. I just say, “I’ll call you later” or “I’ll call you back” and never tell you when, but I will… maybe in a few days, maybe later that night, maybe next week – don’t worry about it – if I tell you I’ll call, I’ll call. I’m a man, I can keep my word.
