Returning Calls and Texting

[Guest050715-1]

There was a thread about texting and calling back and not texting and calling back. Reading that thread, I thought am I handling call backs right. What I want to know from you guys is how you like call backs and texting in general handled.

Here’s how I do it:
- If someone calls me and leaves a message, I listen to the message to determine if it is okay to call back and of so what are the time parameters.
- If they don’t leave a message, I call back between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm.
- If I get a vague, crossed-eyed response after I say who I am, I say never mind; wrong number. They can call back if they want to. They know who they have called.
- If I get a voice that is not his or is female – yikes – I ask for Angie.
- I never text unless they specifically tell me to. And even then, only on the occasion they say it is ok.

The way I figure it is a gentleman can explain one call out and a return call as a wrong number, but the poor guy can never explain away a text.

I would be happy just to get a call/txt back. Many don't even return calls/txt/emails.

sounds like a solid game plan. I never text.

I don't return or text back, unless i know for sure.....which mean he has explained his situation and gave me the green light.

So many guys don't say its okay to call, when its really okay. And then i get the why didn't you call me back Lisa it was okay. Im like well you didn't say so. Im sorry its weird just texting or calling back. I don't know if they are in a meeting or with the SO, I'll rather wait for the gentlemen to call or text back.

if you call and get a female, go into a sales pitch about vacums or Amway or something.
granted the guy should have a hobby phone, if he does not and the S.O. answers, they may still get suspicious about a female calling. just my two cents

Angie said quit calling her.

But Mi Amor, you never called me. Wanna flirt?

And why am I getting so much static about Angie . I'm sure she's a good ole gal, but better her than me in trouble with someone's lady than me.

You call me whenever you want ..... umm at least when I have minutes, lol.
