I used to think it was perfectly reasonable to accept a man’s business card for a date, or saving his number on my phone until I began seeing the results were sometimes shaky.
Here are some events that transpired:
- I would call him after work hours, the guy would pick up, and I would hear a woman’s voice in the background (so not cool)
- Called during lunch hours and he was not as polite, rushed and sometimes abrasive
- Called on a Sunday after meeting on a Saturday night, the guy was knee-deep watching football 🙄 with his “boys”
- The call was good, but the man turned out to be a man who preferred I make all the restaurant reservations, always make decisions and he was not consistent with his calls to me
- Called a gentleman at 6 pm my time (EST) and he was in Japan on a business trip when he picked up the phone, he was groggy and not aware of who I was
- Called at 9 pm and he answered tipsy
- His feelings changed, and he was no longer interested 💔
I am not saying to never accept a business card from a man, or save his number on your phone. Â I am saying be cautious and follow your instinct because it’s a box of chocolate scenarios.
The best situation is you giving him your number. Â Put the accountability on the man who wants you. Â Try accepting the business card, turn it around and give him your number, or save your number on his phone. Â This way he will pursue you instead of you pursuing him, or risking a call at a wrong time.
Once a man has your number it allows him to figure out how to get you not the other way around.
Hope this helps some of you.
Sending love vibes! 💋
