It seems there has been interest lately on not just cold approach field reports but the follow up on the telephone. I just set up a date tonight for tomorrow and will give you all a few details.

I met her saturday night and got her number. She is an HB7.5.

I called the next day, Sunday, b/c I am in this town on business for only another week or 2.

When I called I tried to set something up for monday but she was busy.

I told her I was tied up for a couple days after that so I gave her my number and told her I'd be available again on Sept 3.

I'm not sure if this is rare or not b/c I'm relatively new at DJing and inexperienced in the dating game, but she actually called me back tonight (sept 3) at about 8pm and left a message just basically saying, "Hi, it's so and so, I was taking a break from school work so I thought I'd give you a call blah blah."

I didn't get the message until about 10:30pm that night. She didn't say anything about when she was going to bed or anything. I'm not sure if that would of mattered in my decision, but I decided to call her at about 10:40pm.

She answered and we small talked for a short time about the holiday weekend etc... I then told her, "I'd like to get together for a cup of coffee and some stimulating conversation." She responded, "Yeah, me too!" Turns out she is busy at work until around 4 so we couldn't even do lunch or anything. Instead, we made a date for tomorrow night (sept 4) to go out for a ****tail.

Simple as that! The call was short sweet and to the point.

If anybody has any comments or suggestions on what I could have done better I would appreaciate them!

Good work! You've got a date and have proven that as long as you've got a womans interest all the rules about phone calls don't really mean sh*t.

Lets see what rules you've broken.

1. Called the next day

2. Gave her your number

3. Told her when you were available

However you got the date. It really is that simple. The most important part is the impression you made on her when you met and got the number. If a girl really likes you there isn't a whole lot you can do wrong.

Great!

Ouch. I wasn't intentionally breaking any rules except calling the next day b/c I basically had no choice. I don't want to set a poor DJ example and will finish reading the bible and try other means of getting a date in the future. I do, however, agree that if she is very interested in you than there is MORE leeway for breaking the rules. Its probably not the best idea though.

You and I discussed this over IM last night...

Action is 1000 times more important than any "rules." Can we get that changed to DJ "guidelines?" Just chill out and swing for the fence every time you get within striking distance of the ball. You will hit some homeruns.
