world of intimate relationships with Venusians. When a man
finally does call after a date, the woman, having waited, won-
dering if he was going to call, is at the very least annoyed with
him. Her tone of voice clearly lets him know that he has not
pleased her. From there the relationship spirals downward.
HOW WOMEN REACT WHEN A MAN DOESN’T CALL
These are some common comments by women about men who
didn’t call back soon after a date:
- “When I called him, I couldn’t believe that he seemed so
unapologetic.” - “I can’t believe that when he called he didn’t even say he
was sorry.” - “He acted as if no time at all had passed.”
- “He was so insensitive; he acted as though nothing was
wrong.” - “I can’t believe that he just called me out of the blue, months
later, as if everything would be fine.” - “I called him the next morning and he asked why I had
called. I was so furious. I never talked to him again.” - “When he finally called a week later, I was so hurt. I had to
let him know how I felt, but he just didn’t get it.” - “He said he was sorry for not calling, but he didn’t mean it.
When I was distant, he didn’t even ask how I felt.” - “I couldn’t believe that he didn’t call me. I called him and
told him he should get to know me.”
