"Do not leave a message" - Page 3

Of course, you know she is screening her calls. I'm sure the fact that your number has appeared 17 times as a missed call on her caller ID over the last week won't have any impact on her image of you.

Why is every guy on this site afraid to talk/leave a message for a pretty girl? They are people, not objects, and most are normal and won't think twice about the type of message you left.

Just say something like this, "Hi [insert hottie's name here], this is Wacki. I enjoyed speaking with you at the [insert place like mall, bar, whorehouse here] the other day. Too bad I missed you, I'll try to catch up with you later."

Now you haven't put the ball in her court, but you let her know that you know she still exists. If this is to difficult for you, then I suggest you PM Dominic and he can use you as a guinea pig for his upcoming advice column.

I use the old standby I learned my freshman year (big Ups to my neighbor Dave, the Senior who spread his knowledge):

When it comes time to leave the message: "[insert interested party's name] I was at [some bar] and I cannot believe the story I heard about you. There was a gal who claimed that you......"

I get called back pretty quickly and they find it amusing that I use the GM techniques to get them on the line.

Awesome, I might try this with random girls that I know just to see their reaction when they call me back.

Hmmm, it's been awhile, but leaving a message can be tiresome.

Once you've left it, you start wondering if she'll call back. The longer it goes, you start wondering if you said something stupid, sounded okay and left the right impression, whether the battery ran out, or anything.

This starts you rationalising you better ring again, and being tempted to leave another message.

The second message you make as carefree and light as possible, actually say 'leaving this in case you didn't get the last one', and something like 'call me or not, I'm cool whatever'.

The third one is prompted because you think you sound too casual about it in message 2, and need to be more serious. So you leave a more direct, serious one.

The fourth one is a backup to say sorry for 3rd.

The fifth one is to say sorry about leaving all these messages, and a return to a casual 'whatever' tone.

and so on.

Before you know it, you've left 15 messages, one of which you'll be crying and maybe drunk, one of which you'll be calling her bad names, one of which will be silence apart from a very faint breathing noise, and so on.

This is not a good thing.

This would make a good episode for a sitcom.

It's a Seinfeld episode, isn't it. I'm guessing. I've never seen one, but it seems when I make up stuff like this, people say 'that was on Seinfeld'.

Would it be +EV to append: "Some people say I shouldn't leave a message in this spot, but I'm not into playing games, and I hope you aren't either."? I would think it would be, if delivered with a casual confidence.

I swear, I've never seen it. Damn, you can't do any original material any more [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

It's also a Seinfeld episode where George goes crazy on the phone, and they try to steal the tape before she can listen to it.
