Phone game isn’t the easiest thing for us guys. We got the number, but we really don’t know where we stand. Despite how special we feel we are for getting the number, women are hit on all the time and could of gave their number out to a lot of different guys. The fact that it is your first time calling, you’ll probably end up going to voice mail or answering machine because she doesn’t know who you are. Not all women are like this, but it’s something that is becoming more and more popular as a screening process.
I think that the answering machine traps a lot of guys because they’re not really sure what they should be doing. It’s a tough thing to deal with when you’re calling up expecting to talk to a person and you get the machine.
Here’s the rule, you’re only allowed to leave one message and that’s it. After that, you’re done. A lot of guys will call up, get the machine, leave a message, but feel this need to call back a few hours later and end up leaving another message.
Imagine being the female. You have some guy you just gave your phone number to leaving a ton of messages on your machine. Not cool.
Here’s what you should do. First call – no message, [space of a day ] second call – no message, [space of a few hours] third call – message.
And that’s it. If she doesn’t call you back, she doesn’t want to talk to you. Throw the number in the garbage and move on.
