There is a distinct difference between getting her voice-mail and screening her calls. It has to do with the person being in close proximity to their phone. Some people still have answering machines that allow the user to hear voice messages while the person is leaving it. Others have caller I.D., because they don’t readily recognize your number/name, they choose to let it go to voicemail and then quickly listen to your message. A few have true call screening feature that prompts callers “your number is not recognized, please state your name and a message will be forwarded to the person your trying to reach………at the tone state your name………”. This feature filters out most un-wanted callers like tele-marketers. Once they have your number they can block you out if they choose to.
Remember, most people have cell-phones with the voicemail features. Just because you get their voicemail doesn’t always mean they are screening their calls. If they turn off their cell phones, it usually goes right to voicemail……again there are a slew of legitimate reasons why people are unavailable at any given moment, so don’t jump to conclusions.
For sake of argument, lets say you know they are available to answer their phone and yet you still get voicemail/answering machine. How does one get the person to pick up their phone and respond to you?. The solution is you are going to have intrigue them enough to want to pickup. EXAMPLES;
1) UNBLOCK YOUR NUMBER-a lot of people don’t answer calls they don’t recognize, so blocking your number can work against you at times. Sorry star 67, but in this case you lose.
2) SEND A TEXT-you can also try sending a text/IM/email just prior to calling. Examples; “hey it’s me, pickup please, lottery winner wants to speak with you, guess what I just heard, avoiding me huh, screening your calls huh. Avoid WUSS phrases like “PICK UP, I KNOW YOU ARE HOME”. This just screams creepy stalker, desperate type of guy.
3) LEAVE A MESSAGE-It is next to impossible to get a hold of you. DO NOT WORRY …….. Although I am in EMERGENCY, the DOCTOR said everything will be ok and there is no need to PANIC…….they might be able to SAVE MY LEG. This is definitely not one of those times to screen your calls…I mean there is a vital appendage at stake but hey, I know your busy……I can. get through this. Just calling to make sure you are ok.
if they continue to ignore you after a day or two…….time to replace them with someone who is up for some adventure. Any more effort on your part is time wasted.
And yes the obvious is also true.......if you built up enough rapport they obviously WILL want to converse with you. Here's the thing though.......always have a contingency plan as a backup in case your game was not spot on.
* go ahead try this the next time you think a chic is screening her calls.
