Is it OK to call a guy I´m interested in?

To Call or Not To Call...

If you´re really interested in a guy, it´s perfectly OK to ask him if he´d like to get together for a cup of coffee some time. It´s probably not OK to follow-up with a telephone call and it´s also probably not a good idea to call two times in a row--if you´re looking for romance rather then just a pal. Smart women know that life is a balance of serendipity and good old-fashioned risk taking. Your intuition usually knows best.

Take Time After the First Date

On a first date have a plan for the initial meeting and stick to it. Even if he seems like the guy of your dreams don't spend more time with him until the second date. Especially, do not sleep with a guy you are just meeting for the first time.

For your own safety you need to be sure he isn't going to become a possessive nightmare.For your emotional health don't be loved and left. If you wanted a quickie you wouldn't have called it a date.

Also, give yourself that chance to reflect on how the date went, who he turned out to be and decide if you really do want to get closer to him. Sometimes that time apart, away from temptation, is a really good thing.

   

Twitter yourself a Date

On your Twitter profile use a link to your best (or favourite) dating profile. You just add it where it asks for your blog or home page. If you don't have a blog or site of your own why not link it to something that will work for you?
