    So what's the general rule if a girl gives you her number, how long should you wait before calling or texting? (I mean someone you randomly meet not someone you know already!)

    Opinions from both guys and girls welcome, just make sure you tell me which you are ;)

    Met in the pub - next afternoon.
    Met in town/shop - when you get home.

    That way you've something to talk about. For example. "How was your night" "Buy anything nice in town today"

    I don't agree with this whole waiting three or four days. It leaves the other party panicking about whether they should have handed their number over or not, or if you actually liked them or such. My opinion is to send a text when you feel you have something to say. If that's now then definitely go for it, but don't do the whole make them wait thing.

    Game playing like that is for kids, not adults, imho. Good luck with it :-)

    Ya text the next day, If I gave a guy my number and he texted back 3/4 days later...my automatic thinking would be "hmmmm he is probably just texting cos he is bored/ it didn't work out with someone else"

    Even if thats not the case really...maybe I'm just a negative person :P but Id prefer to know straight off if someone is interested, also it would make the woman think "oh he just had to text me now, he could not wait that whole standard 3/4 days! "

    If you met her on the Friday, CALL (not text) her on the Sunday...2 days later is reasonable I think and then you can make plans for during the week.

    That whole (3 - 4 days waiting) is the biggest load of bull!!

    Send your first message the day after you meet her, 2 days at the max, any longer and i wouldnt bother. Why? Because the longer you leave it then more good things about you she will forget. Also women especially younger women have very busy social lives and you dont want to risk her having to think twice about who you are.

    I also wouldnt reccomend calling her for the first contact, with a text you wont have to worry about if she can talk, or what mood shes in, it also puts less pressure on her and if she replies to the text then at least you know she is somewhat keen on you.

    I think you should always wait a little bit, 2 days or so is perfect. This is just my opinion! :)
