When he finally called you, did he agree to see you? Did he rush you off the phone with an excuse to not see you? What happened to the man that was so into you last week? Was it just your imagination? Did you truly have a great time together?

The answer to these questions is simpler than you imagine. He’s got a life and you were fun but he has other obligations. Don’t beat yourself up because he didn’t call you back immediately. Don’t forget that men date to have fun, not to start lifelong relationships. He hasn’t stopped living because he started dating you.

When he finally called, did you bite his head off for not calling you sooner? If so, that alone may cause him to not call you again. As soon as you let the words come out of your mouth, he probably regretted calling you.

Great men are intelligent, secure and independent. They are not looking to be with a woman that isn’t. If you fall apart because he didn’t call you, he will think that you are clingy or, even worse, needy. If you can’t confidently live your life without him, he may not want to be in your life. He wants a woman that can stand on her own two feet and appreciate the fact that he has other interests in his life.

If you want to see him again, go about your life as if you could care less whether or not he exists. Get control of your emotions and treat the date for what it was – fun. When he does call, express that you are happy to hear from him again and casually suggest you get together again. Don’t badger him into seeing you. If he caves into your pressure, it’s very possible when he does see you, he will be miserable from arrival to departure. No one wants to be in a situation they were forced into. If he doesn’t have time to see you, don’t assume he’s not interested. He may be busy so be understanding. If he does agree to see you again, go somewhere and have fun. Make a memory that he will keep you on his mind. Let the date be easy and exciting and watch him come back to you.

Successful men fill their life with work and outside ventures. When he comes to you allow him to forget about all that. Give him something that makes his life fun and exciting. When he wants to escape the hardships of his life, he will look to you because he will rely on the great times you have. Then, your phone won’t stop ringing.
