[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP must be 35ish+

most girls in their 20's wont even pick up the phone if you call them

the idea of talking on the phone is totally foreign and petrifying for most of them

its not weird to schedule a time to call via text.

i do it all the time (also via email) for work and personal.

this way you're not invading people's space with a call

and yes, thats the way a phone call is seen these days

if you can't text well and text often now, you're going to be at a disadvantage in the dating scene

better brush up on your 'text game'

I think if it's a guy the 25 y/o girl likes anyway, him calling on the phone is going to be seen as "romantic and old-school' as opposed to "stalkerish and creepy."

In what universe is it ok to arrange a time to talk (over text, email, in person, etc.) and then blow it off multiple times?

Well, maybe it's ok, but it's surely a sign that OP is pretty low on this guy's priority list.

And as for the double and triple booking + flaking, maybe it's better the folks who do that don't get married. Is this a relatively recent (past 10-15 years) thing?[/quote]

calling will be seen as an old man thing to do and creepy.  but like you said, if a woman is into a man he can do all kinds of things that would be deemed creepy otherwise.

its not ok to blow anyone off, thats not what im saying.

the triple booking and flaking is relatively new, largely due to social media, texting, dating apps, etc - and more concentrated in the younger ages from what i understand.  doesn't happen to me, but apparently its a thing.
