Will He Call Again? Insight from a Guy's Perspective

The mystifying question every woman has after a date is will he call again? The last thing you may want to hear is that it depends, but it's the hard truth. Unfortunately, the following are some possible reasons why your phone may not be ringing.

Couldn't Tell You the Truth

It's the end of the date. You both are at that moment of truth where you say goodbye, nice meeting you. He then utters those famous words-I'll give you a call. At this point, he's either lying through his teeth or he will do what he says. But, if he doesn't call again, it may be because he just didn't have the nerve to say otherwise. Stated another way, he just didn't want to put himself in an awkward position and make you feel bad in the process. It's an easy way out for the guy who just couldn't muster the truth.

Red Flag

Something about you turned him off during the date. That certain something is subject to interpretation only from the perspective of that guy. For example, maybe you're a closet smoker and he doesn't like smokers. Maybe you like collecting rocks, but he has a deep prejudice against rocks. Whatever it is, will he call again? If something gave him a hang-up, probably not.

No Physical Attraction

Guys typically like having an attractive woman on their arm. It's a simple fact of a man's life. If you didn't fit his type, the answer may be no as to whether he will call again.

No Chemistry

If he didn't find any chemistry during the date, you'll never hear from him again. Chances are you probably didn't find any chemistry either. So, it's probably a wash.

Another Woman

He may have another girl on his mind and you don't know it. Whether it's someone he met yesterday or a recent breakup or even a current girl he's dating, this may be a possible answer as to why he didn't call again. Why he decided to go out with you in the first place depends on his perspective, but it's another possibility out there.

Bad Timing

He sees you as girlfriend material, but he doesn't want a girlfriend-not now, at least. Whether you're girlfriend material is perhaps a whole different article, but in any event, he's not ready for a relationship. So, will he call again? The answer is probably not because you're a victim of bad timing. The following are a few reasons why it's a matter of bad timing.

Generally speaking, guys are interested in dating for awhile before they settle down on a permanent basis. If he hasn't gotten the chance to do that, he may not pursue it further. Another reason is his career. Depending on the guy's stage of his career, this may be a focus in his life, for the moment. This means attaching to someone on a steady basis probably isn't on his radar. In addition to his career, some guys want the feeling of being financially stable before they pursue a girlfriend. If finances are not where he wants them to be, something steady may not be in his sights either.
