Romance can be a game sometimes. Learn about what happens when he doesn't call (and she doesn't call, either!). Tags: Relationships Audio Index: Slow dialogue: 1:27 Explanations: 3:43 Fast dialogue: 15:06 Lyla: Okay, here's a hypothetical. You ask a girl for her number, but wait two weeks to call her. What gives? George: Well, that depends. Why? Lyla: Well, I met this guy two weeks ago at a party. We spent the entire evening talking and I thought we really hit it off. We had a lot of chemistry and we had a ton of things in common. He asked for my number and he said he'd call me the next day. And then, I didn't hear hide nor hair of him until yesterday, 10 days after we met. How come? George: What did he say when he called? What was his pathetic excuse? Lyla: I didn't talk to him. I wasn't home and he left a voicemail message. I haven't called him back yet. George: Why don't you just call him and find out? Lyla: He just called yesterday and I don't want to seem desperate. George: Oh, come on. He probably just lost your number and found it yesterday. Lyla: That's possible. George: Or he had to go out of town and just got back. Lyla: I suppose. George: Or maybe he was nervous about calling you and just got up the nerve. Lyla: Do you really think so? George: Maybe. Or maybe he's playing hard to get or he's just not that into you. Lyla: Oh. George: But you won't know if you don't call him back. Lyla: I guess that's true. Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
