Well a lot of times we get numbers at events involving alcohol, the world looks different when sober sometimes. I am not sure saving numbers is a status thing, I do it because I tend to be a packrat. And, I certainly save them pretty randomly.
But as for the boy, why is it solely his responsibility to call you ladies? Especially today in this so-called liberated age? Shouldn't it also be called
Stupid Girl Syndrome when the girl does not put out any visible reciprocal effort? I know you ladies think sitting by the phone and being available is doing your part, but we can't see you sitting there. So we don't know if you are interested.
In this case the boy called twice and got no love. He was never called back and so has no reason really to think you are that interested. And you probably played it pretty cool on the phone also.
The one thing that is kin of sad is that he didn't call you for date, it seems he called you more to "hang out". Whatever that means. But that is probably more a factor of a break down of traditional courting patterns in this country. But that doesn't make dating any easier when there are very little rules left.
I don't know if this in your own experiences ladies. but I know a number of girls in college that have never been on any real dates since arriving. Its all some ambigious hang-out.
IT is so easy for any guy that has watched some old movies to really impress young women these days, because women don't seem to expect all that much attention to the little things from their men. Sad really. Its like a breakdown of the old rules with no replacement with new beter ones.
