| My dad told me to never call boys. Do men like to be called or is it best to wait for them to call you? Times have changed and I feel like I will be single forever if I wait and wait and wait. Oh, and what about text messaging? Any rules for 2007?

| I think it works both ways. Guys now a days are a little more sensitive than your dad was in his day. Women are a lot more liberal now. So, yes the times have changed and that doesn't apply much anymore. When I was dating, I liked it when they called me first. But that's more or less preference.

| Okay, things are a little different. I will give you that! I just know that it feels good to get a call just to see how I am doing. It doesn't have to be a call to set up a date. A text is nice too. I guess that I just need to stay with the "friends only" relationships until I learn how to play the game!

| I was raised the old fashion way. The man does the calling.
BUT now days I had rather leave it up to her. If she wants my
number ok .I give it to her. Even if I'm really attracted to
her. I don't want her to feel like she has to talk to me at all.
I Don't want to be called a stalker. So I Let her call the shots.
IM This is a good way for the two of to get know a little about
each. Just my way of thinking.

| Now it's alright for the woman to do the calling if she wants, men seem to enjoy the same thing us women do and appreciate the attention.

| Unfortunately, If you follow your daddy's advice you could possibly end up being single for your entire life. Times have changed and so should your tactics. You may want to keep up appearances with your daddy. Just don't tell him you are the one initiating contacts. In the real world you have to take the initiative to achieve your goals.
You can start with a wink. A wink says hey I'm here check me out. A wink back means, OK I see you, why don't you send an e mail to get this ball rolling. Basically a wink just opens up the idea that you are there, please check me out.
I prefer the direct approach over the winky thing. Just send a E mail, say hi and what you feel or think.
As for the text message, I'm not too familiar with it. The I.M Bot on this site is not too cool. So, I rarely use it. I not a fan a having a window pop up every few seconds.
Have a nice day!

| Thanks for all the great advice. I am not exactly exchanging phone numbers on DH yet. I prefer to move a little slow. (Especially since I am a virgin to web dating) I am just asking because it seems like there are so many women taking charge and doing the calling, the asking out of dates, etc. and I am not sure if men like it or not.
I guess I shouldn't care if it is working for them.
I am more used to the old fashioned way of "winking" when you meet someone at a bar, but, come to think of it, that hasn't worked out so well for me!!

| The only rules is that there are no rules.
Long ago i decided that if i like something or someone i would just do whatever it takes to get it/her!
Screw rules and regulation!
