Q: Dating Girl,

I have recently met this guy and we have so many things in common - hiking, running, music, movies, politics... We have chatted on the phone a few times and from my perspective the conversations have been great. He met a friend and I for dinner and a show a week ago and we seemed to have a great time. He was asking me questions, seemed to like my answers, gave me some friendly teases, he showed positive body language during the show, blah, blah, blah. I felt really positive about the whole thing, but he hasn't called since. I have not tried to contact him either, but I have made all of the contacts so far, so I felt like I needed to let him make the next move. Why the heck hasn't this guy called? Was I totally off-base with thinking that things went well? I also have found out that his old girlfriend has recently gotten engaged (they dated for 14 months and have been broken up since October) and that she will be working with him and he seems bothered by t his and has even thrown out the idea of getting a different job...Hmm. SI this other gal still in his head? Should I call him? How long should I wait? Or just wait it out?

A: Weird one. Sounds like it went so well too. But, if he hasn’t called you in a week, you either need to make a move or assume he’s not calling. You could give him one last call/email and see what happens. Leave a message if he doesn’t pick up but know that this is your last attempt. If he doesn’t call or email back, it’s over and you can move on. I’m all for the last effort though. If you do go out again, make a joke on the date that next time he has to call you!

Let me know what happens!

Love the Madness,
DG
