How long should a guy wait to call after the first date??

This can be a very difficult thing for a guy to know. They can become nervous about giving the wrong impression by calling too quickly or too late.

The “Old School Rule” would suggest that you wait exactly two days before calling her back. In today’s world there really is not set rule on when to call a girl back. It all depends on how the date went and what kind of connection the two of you made. If the date went really well you probably want to call sooner rather than later. If the date was just ok or she didn’t really open up then you might want to wait a little longer before calling her again. More than week of not calling tends to be a little too long in most situations.



Another option to calling is text messaging. A simple text message saying that you enjoyed hanging out last night can be a nice bridge between the first date and the first call. This could technically be done in a email as well but it can be a little too impersonal of a follow-up after a first date.

The truth is that there really is no set rule on when to call her after a date. Listen to what your gut tells you and enjoy getting to know someone new!
