On another note:
Many many moons ago, I hung out with a dude ONE TIME and he began calling me ALL DAY. When I was in the office. When I was out shopping. I'm out to dinner and he's calling me every 5 minutes. It was the craziest thing I'd ever experienced. It pissed me off. And one time I decided to answer and he said "I didn't want nothing...I just have this crazy work schedule and I get bored." Well...ummm...pick up knitting or something. Needless to say, we never talked again.

You really need to get out of my head and stop liking my favorite stuff. This is getting scary.

My job is not such that I can just talk during the day. So if you're calling me, it needs to be an emergency. "I just wanted to see what you were up to" isn't an emergency. It also annoys me because the whole "what are you doing?" thing makes ZERO sense. I'm WORKING, duh.

YES!!

It's not that I can't necessarily take calls during the day, it's just that I don't want anyone getting comfortable calling me throughout the day while I'm working.

As long as you tell him that. Sometimes we assume that these things are common sense and common practice when they aren't.

True. If for some reason I forgot to tell him, I'd tell him the next time we spoke (assuming he didn't throw a hissy fit because I didn't answer/return his call right away).

first date bad signs:

-she's the "hero" of every story she tells.
-excessive tatoos. (ok, any tatoos at all. not a fan.)
-excessive phone calls. Unless it's a family emergency, the world won't stop spinning if you don't answer your phone for two hours.

I agree....a deal breaker, for me.
