We all get busy, and sometimes, your date gets caught up in his own life and forgets to call you back.Īdvice: Don't take it personally. Maybe he has something else going on in his life with work or family, and it's just not allowing him to make room for dating right now. Maybe he has been on a few dates this week, and has met someone else in the meantime. Maybe this guy has not been totally upfront with you. Something or someone else is going on in his life. But what a great start.Īlthough you may never understand what was actually going on in his head, here are 11 reasons he didn't call: 1. You both laughed and got on really well together. I use their time!Īnother thing I hate is when my husband's employees call him on his work cell at 9-10pm or later! Ok, my husband's job isn't 24/7.Ladies, have you ever been out on a first date with a guy and thought you had such a nice time together? I don't call people outside my time zone using my time. Oh, and time zones? Yah, if you're calling someone you DO know what time zone you're calling. Can't anyone let us home just one morning to try to sleep in? Our triplets get us up early enough as it is! When they're home that's our family time, period.ĭrives us nuts when people, anyone, calls us bright and early on a Saturday morning. Cell phone are for when they're out of the house.

We pay the bills so the cells stay plugged in on the kitchen counter and is only used when they go out. And for repeat offenders they'd be told not to call at all, ever! It's not difficult and if it's no emergency that can't wait until the bus tomorrow, don't call! That included our kid's cell phone as well. Our oldest son is 24 and as a teen his buddies would call at 10pm! We'd answer and snap on their butts and tell them not to call again after 8pm, period. But they're 6 now and if family calls once in a while after 8-9pm it's ok and it's usually something important.īut yes, I agree on there being common courtesy with calls in a person's home. Our triplets aren't babies anymore so we would tell everyone not to call after 7pm. I think an 8am rule is a good rule because most people are starting their day at that time.Īs for at night, the phone needs to stop ringing after about 9pm, unless it's family then it's ok.

They would start work, again no kidding, at 6am!!!! Then they would stop between 7-8am as alarms were going off for work and school. We also have construction going on at the side path next to our driveway that has been going on for a year according to the neighbors. The other neighbors are upper middle age and have a barking dog and I swear, no kidding, starts running his chain saw at 7am! Are you kidding me? Middle of the week or weekend! They have a wood stove and already have a huge pile of wood supply so why the chain saw? It's ridiculous! And they're running that wood stove all the time, even in the hot weather. The one older couple are quiet and nice and we try to keep the noise down with our 4 kids even in the middle of the day. Our house sits in front of two other houses, kind of a woodsy area. (most people are already up for work or school after 8am) We've lived on bases for years so the rule was suppose to be no noise before 8am.

I detest any noise coming from neighbors or construction or whatever before 8am.

In that case I wouldn't mid being woken up, in any situation that is out of the ordinary or an emergency but under normal circumstances i think it is only right to respect others and not call after 9pm unless it has been specified differently. Anyway, we really didn't have another option. I felt terrible for waking them but it was winter and I was trapped outside with no keys or phone with two little kids, i couldn't even unlock the car for the kids to sit in while I tried to figure out what to do. I did wake the neighbors one morning when I locked us out of the house and I had to get the kids to school and I had no way to contact my Mom(who is the only person with a spare key), and they let me use their phone which she didn't answer because she didn't recognize the # and my dear neighbors drove my kids to school and dropped me at my Mom's house. I do talk to my Mom at all hours, and one friend who has a crazy sleep schedule but generally speaking, I would never call after 9pm and not before 9 am unless it was an emergency. I am a night owl so I usually don't mind much(sometimes it is annoying though), but I don't do it to other people unless I am specifically told I can call or unless I know they are night owls that don't mind calls. But most people don't seem to respect it much.
