how long do you wait?

This topic was created in the Aquarius forum by pinkleopard on Monday, November 6, 2006 and has 13 replies.
Is it best to just wait for the aqua man to call/contact you? Is this all a test of wills? I am confused since the first few weeks he couldn't stand not being in contact with me and now days go by...
He wrote the last email and i haven't replied. I would like him to call when he really wants to talk to me, but meanwhile "out of sight, out of mind". If I am not engaged, I just get bored and distant. But I can't make all the moves...it ain't my style .
Thoughts?
Hmm I would be intrigued if someone dared me to step it up a notch or something... I say respond to the email in a dare and say something like "typically I only deal with men who want a face to face meeting of the minds... I had hopes for you but c'est la vie."
I don't wait for any man....what for? why? someone give me a good example or two of why one needs to "wait" for a man?
Silly, that is just plain silly I say!
It all depends on many MANY factors... and if you are an aqua you understand implicitedly that you are waiting by choice and that there are many other options available. But if you see the potential in something bigger than yourself but the other person needs space or needs time to realize what's going on because they are just not as fast as you then it's OK to wait.
It's not ok to wait if you aren't comfortable waiting though. If it makes you depressed or angry and you feel pathetic waiting by the phone, then don't wait.
But sometimes at least for this once in my life I am going to say that it's OK to be the waiting party if the other party catches up to your thinking and tries to make it up to you that they were stupid... it's a new theory and maybe I'm wrong.
In this girl's case though I simply say make a game out of it and don't set your heart on one guy. But challenges can be fun if it's accepted!
Well...I think when a man is truly interested in a woman there is NO waiting on the girls part unless he personally expresses his wishes and reasons to her - becoming a mutual decision for waiting. Other than that...no. Only a man who is confused will let a woman wait...and why would anyone choose to be with a confused man?
If more people "waited" I gbelieve there be less drama and much healthier long lasting relationships.
Waiting in the sense of less not rush to put labels on anything and become something we arent and arent ready for...
* I believe there would be....
so you trust a man to stick around when he rentlessly pursues a girl and doesn't think? I know that I have major major trust issues when a guy comes on too strong and tries everything to get in a girl's life. I'd rather have a little confusion in the beginning and full understanding from both parties on what exactly that they want. But hey different strokes man... you can have the fast talkers as I certainly don't want them... in fact I have one who won't stop trying and he has a nice smile... I'll even put a bow on him if that's what you like. I simply don't trust a guy who doesn't go into something without thinking it through as I need space and time to think myself.
ladyvie...I was only responding to the issue at hand in the original post.
How long does a girl wait to hear from a man....all I was saying is - I don't believe any woman needs to wait for a man to call her.
What you are now sharing is another topic - Winking
hmmm well if you say so but in this girl's case if she wants to dare him there is no harm as long as she understands that the sun doesn't set on this guy... it's not fun thinking that simple flirting must mean anything more than that... if it did then I'm a huge word slut.
Hey Autumn hows it going?
Oops sorry forgot to read the original post again...but I stick with what I said...off topic or not.
hmm I don't agree with that... don't call because you miss him... let him call you... I know that it hurts and you can break down at some point, but it's better to let him realize that you are the catch. If you are available too readily then what's telling him that you are priceless?
It's probably better not to say anything at all and disappear while appearing just enough in the 'I'm happy with or without you state' if there is nothing fun going on for the girl. Calling at all seems desperate to a guy and we hate appearing that, even with the cloak of chit chat.
