It's been seven days. That makes it official that I won't be getting a phone call, a text message or any further contact. I can't say I'm terribly surprised. The distance was just that- quite a distance. Why would he give me his phone number first unless I am a "if nothing better comes along"? A bit of a puzzle since he initiated. I'll chalk that up to he probably just signed up and wasn't sure how to handle it.
I'm going back to the philosophy from "He's Just Not That Into You". If a man is interested, he is going to make it happen. Work, summer, family, vacations, whatever. If he wants to see you, he is going to call. Especially guys after the age of 40. In their 20s, I think guys might tend to play games more. There are more options and it's only a short matter of time until the next option appears, probably with a drink in her hand and a flip of her hair. After the age of 30, they probably consider game playing. Is it worth the chance? Is there any another girl, a better girl? If he's a betting man, he might wait a couple days before he calls. By 40, games are out the window. We know who we are, we know we aren't going to change, and singles are tougher to come by. Where does one meet singles after the age of 40? (Don't say church. If I don't go to church, I'm not starting just to meet a guy.) But that's another post.
