So you went on a FANTASTIC date with an incredible guy you found beyond captivating and you were beyond smitten with him and the rapport you seemed to have. You can’t wait to see him again. You sit by your phone anxiously waiting for him to call or text you and confirm that he also had a good of a time. A week goes by. Silence. No text. No phone calls. And then the internal dialogue starts. “Did my breath smell?” “Did I drink too much?” “Was my hand sweaty when he held it?” “Did I chew with my mouth open?” No, so why didn’t he call?
Most of the time, why you think he didn’t call isn’t the real reason why he didn’t call. We sometimes make up excuses as to why they called to satisfy our own yearning to know.
“He didn’t call because I’m not cute enough” Girl, bye. In order for any man to ask you out on a date, he has to find you attractive (especially on a date that he’s paying for). He needs to find you attractive enough to even consider asking you out. Although you might be cute to him, you might be lacking in other areas that he might find essential when dating someone. It might sound harsh but you must realize that you’re not always going to be every guys cup of tea and vice versa. Think about when you’ve gone out on dates and decided that the first date with a certain gentleman caller would be the last one. You found him attractive enough to go out with him, but there were still reasons why you found it was best not to pursue a second date.
“He doesn’t want a relationship” uhhh.. maybe not but just because he doesn’t want a relationship, it doesn’t mean he won’t call. A guy that had a good time with you will still call regardless of his intentions. A guy can still go out on so many dates with a female whose company he enjoys. The not so cool part about this is that almost any man that claims to be “ not ready for a relationship” can suddenly find a girl that he believes to be “worth committing to” at any point in his “bachelordom” and all that “I just want to be single” crap goes flying out of the window.
“He’s intimidated by me” Most men find successful women to be attractive. Unless you sat at that dinner table and drilled him with questions and made the date into a business meeting or a interview for a new hire, he is unlikely to be intimidated by your successes. If he’s a bum, he might be but why even consider dating that type of man in the first place?
In the end, the real reason he didn’t call is because the date just didn’t go the way he was hoping it would. At the end of the day all you need to know is that he wasn’t that into you. It hurts, but rejection is a normal part of dating. If he can’t find you to be as wonderful as you KNOW you are, then it is time to move on to the next eligible bachelor. Bye Felicia. Let’s not forget how many men there are in this world ladies. Next.
