Vrikk's *semi* DDT #2
Thursday, November 9th, 2006 - 1:50pm
No, I've not done anything wrong this time so don't come into the thread thinking as much. I did not start this in any way, but it came to me.
On Tuesday of this week my father and I went to a locally-run cafe named Goin' Nuts. When we were leaving, my waitress came up to me and said, "The girl in the orange shirt told me to give this to you." I look around and see a girl who works there go into the kitchen wearing an orange shirt. I unfold the parchment and see that it has her name and number on it. (No worries this time about a S*M)
I mull it over, and decide to call her and give it a shot. However, I don't call her that day since I had a radio station meeting that lasted well into the evening after 10 (I'm a DJ at the college), and I didn't know how late would be too late.
Yesterday morning comes. I try the number around 10 am and her mom says she isn't there, and asks, "Did she have to work today?" when I told her that I knew her from Goin' Nuts. I said no, but she asked me to call her. I then try the number in the evening to see if she was back from school/whatever, and still no luck. Said girl isn't there.
So obviously the girl wanted to get to know me, but she hasn't contacted me yet. Should I just lay low and let it slide, or what? I've already tried her house twice, and I don't want to keep trying so it seems weird.
And no, you all may not change my tag either 
Yet even then we ran like the wind,
whilst our laughter echoed under cerulean skies...
So yesterday you called twice, right?
And now it's today.
Today should be Day Of Rest. Don't do anything. If the mother mentioned that you called, then you're golden, and if not, you're still WELL under the acceptable amount of time to call.
Then Friday, call her again, or if you're feeling saucy, go back into the store. Bonus: it's FRIDAY, so you can nonchalantly ask about that evening's plans (so it seems you're thinking of something at the spur of the moment, as opposed to some Friday date plan made on Wednesday that would require excess worry and thought.
But I'd say by no means should you call today.

Ok you haven't even formally met this girl yet – If you left contact info with her Mom, I'd say wait and let her come to you. If you didn't (I'm thinking this may be your case) I say, still wait. Wait at least two days. I mean, you haven't even spoken with this girl, you don't want to give off those stalker vibes. Play it cool (you never know how many numbers she gives out).

Good idea - then (even if she has changed her mind for some reason...she is a chick) you don't have to end up looking like a desperate ass. If she seems cold when you approach her, grab a latte and hit the road.

Can we still call these DDT's if Demos never posts here anymore?
Where'd he go?!
You could always try leaving about 20 messages about how you shouldn't be calling 20 times in the space of an hour. That always seems to go well.

Yeah, dude, if you called and left a number with her mom, the ball is now in her court.

On another note, every time I see one of these I think, "Thank God I'm happily married." I'm sure some people enjoyed it, but I hated the dating process.

Aye, I left my number with the mother last night.
I wasn't going to call her again today since I know if I was the girl then it'd be a little weird to hear someone try unsuccessfully three times. The idea of going back for lunch tomorrow or Saturday did cross my mind as well, but what if she isn't there?
Yet even then we ran like the wind,
whilst our laughter echoed under cerulean skies...
Don't go back, don't call again. You have moved to ball into her court.
I think your next step should be obvious:
Revolution? Vacation? Somebody fart?
Don't bother calling until late Sunday afternoon. If she hasn't called by then just assume that her mother didn't give her the message. Make that known to her as well.
On Friday one should already have the weekend planned. Weekend dates should be reserved for those who have earned them. They certainly shouldn't be used for a first date.

I'd say you can go back, but I wouldn't go there just to see her. If you want to go eat, cool, and if she's there, also cool.

-on L4DI take it you have this girl's name and not just her number, right? Ask the cashier if she's working (even if you don't see her). If they say no, ask when she is (you can always throw in that you've had trouble getting a hold of her...maybe she is a busy gal). It's Ok to be a little agressive, as she gave you the digits.
"In general forums are forum's for the mentally challenged."
Yes. Her name was included on the folded napkin my waitress handed me.

I've been there quite a few times, so going there wouldn't be to talk to her. I know that'd be incredibly creepy.
They have a kickass chicken salad sammich with walnuts and raisins. It's why I even bother.

Stop thinking. NOW!!!

Bah, don't do anything dude. Go out someplace else. Maybe in a week or so think about calling her again.

Well technically his waitress gave them to him. I would play it cool and see how it pans out. You never know maybe the waitress was trying to hook her friend up. My g/f does that all the time trying to pair off my single friends with hers.

Don't go to the other extreme, either.
I once talked to a girl, we exchanged phone numbers and Emails and then I decided to be overly polite and did not call her for two months. She took revenge on me.
You see, usually when I ask a girl for a non-date date "just to talk" it doesn't involve her bringing members of her extended family as entourage. Like, say, her 16-year-old second cousin who really, REALLY likes football.
When I came up to the car, I stopped. She said "Is everything ok Are you ok ? Is it ok that I brought him ? You don't have a problem with that, do you ? I mean you said it's not a date, we're just going to talk, right ? He can listen !". This kind of questions continued as I sat in the back for about half an hour and we drove around while I was contemplating whether I should drop into my blunt mode and possibly have to put a 16-year-old's head through a car window in self-defense.
Alas, I kept it in because the girl's parents knew my parents. I made up an excuse for my homicidal mood and said, smiling, "Hey, let's do this again sometime !", adding "never" in the back of my mind. She had nice boobs, but the biggest boob ended up being me.
Dude, isn't it obvious? She was trying to set you up with her mother.

I got the note thing once only to find out the girl was contacting me for her friend. Then she says, "First, are you gay?"
Aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhh!!!!
And she was hot, too. That was a real punch in the gut.
