Do I call him?

I had a first date last night. It was nice, he was hot, and (still kicking myself) we both ended up naked. (The heat helped.)

I'd like to see him again, but I also acknowledge that as awful as stupid gender stereotypes are, sometimes a girl needs to wait until he calls.

    As far as gender stereotypes go, that has to be one of the more stupid ones. If he was into you, he'll be glad to see you calling.

    Unless you were instant soulmates or something, though, I'd wait until tomorrow. No one likes when their date moves too fast, but if he is indeed into you he probably won't fault you for waiting another day.

    Edit: the fact that you already moved too fast (at least you seem to think so) does complicate things. Just be open with him. On your next date, let him know that you're into him, but want to take a step back. He'll either agree, or disagree but respect your position. If he doesn't, he probably isn't worth it.

    Stop worrying about "what a girl needs" and think about what YOU want. Do you want to talk to him? Call him. Simple as that. Leave the other stuff for the magazines.

    Oh, Jesus Christ, call him. Guys in a lot of cases would love to get the affirmation that comes with getting the call (rather than making it) too. I guess if you believe in traditional gender roles, then wait for him to call, but otherwise just call him when you're ready to talk to him.

    Basically, it doesn't need to be that big of a deal. I sense that you're worried about seeming to "easy" or falling too hard for him? If that's the case, I think calling him first would actually make you seem aggressive (i.e., the type that gets what she wants, moves on quickly if not) rather than "easy." Confidence is not only sexy, it's also very impressive.

    Well, give him a chance to get home and shower first.

    OMG call him already... And don't worry about the whole sex on the first date crap. If he's not a douche it won't make a difference. My boyfriend and I fucked on the first date and we are still madly in love and about to move in together. It shouldn't make a difference unless he's got the mind of a 13 year old!

    I've found that sending or receiving a text that says something along the lines of "Hey, had a great time last night - would love to do it again sometime" is breezy and non-committal, but gets your feelings across. The receiver doesn't feel pressured to converse on the spot, and they can respond by text or phone call at their leisure.

    If they call after that, great- if not, well, at least you made your feelings known. Can't win them all.

    Call him. Once you've gotten naked together, the time for Junior High status-game bullshit is past.

    I agree with Jeremy. In this day an age texting has taken on the casualness that a casual phone call used to have, thus forcing phone calls a step up in the social formality ladder. Funny how that works out.

    In any case, definitely text him. Unless you're over 30, in which case a phone call is still ok. But do it! Good luck!

    If you're not calling him, it shouldn't be because you're a woman. If he has a third brain cell, it would be a serious turn-off for someone to assume a gender role situation. Maybe that's just me.

    Even if it's not a call, you guys should communicate in some way the next day. I far prefer the next-day text, though I also hate talking on the phone. But a total lack of communication might send the wrong message.

    Depends. Do you want a relationship based on integrity, or a relationship based on game-playing?

    Once you decide, the question answers itself.

    Call him. It's not a gender thing. Or at least it shouldn't be. Sometimes guys like it when a girl shows a little initiative. I know I do. Girls who don't are boring. It can't hurt your chances, unless he's a total dick, in which case you're doing yourself a favor. Call the fucker.


    Also, if it ends up shitty, and he's a dick, call me.

    did you talk to him? haha
    have you read the book why men love bitches... DONT
    it basically tells you to act like your not into the guy. the point is though to still have some game. so call him but don't make it seem like a big deal. just be confident

    If you call him make sure you have a good reason, like offering him the opportunity to do anal.

    Yes, see him, but don't talk about love for at least two weeks.

    Guys are wierd that way.

    It's nice to wait twice as long as you want to, since guys wait four times as long as you want, so it's a meeting in the middle.

    Oh, and icecubes are fun too.
